Here's a little video of what we'll be doing this week. (after you press the play button, it'll take about 12-15 seconds before you see anything...long black intro)
From the information packet about the training:
This course is designed to provide students with hands-on problem-solving opportunities regarding chemical and biological incident response. This course will introduce topics and information, provide laboratory experiences, and culminate with a free-play exercise to practice concepts taught in the classroom and laboratory. Dugway Proving Ground (DPG), West Desert Test Center (WDTC) Joint Operational Testing & Training Division, currently provides many of the nation’s protectors with state-of-the-art advanced chemical and biological counter-Terrorism courses. This Ph.D.- taught course provides lectures and hands-on training in chemical and biological environments, focusing on agent characteristics, sampling, protection, detection, decontamination, and signatures. Onsite courses allow students to work in biological level 2 and 3 laboratories with live agents, and in certified chemical facilities with actual chemical agents. Biological and chemical simulants that trigger detectors systems are used to enhance practical exercises for real-time readings and realism of the training.We had a great flight out, but it was a LONG day! I'll add a picture album sometime this week for you to see. Once we're out doing hands-on training in the desert, there won't be too many pictures. Sensitive government-type stuff, you understand.
I'll blog as I have the opportunity, but we're going to have some pretty long days out here in the desert.
