[SARES] Golden Guardian Exercise

    Well it is over and I have had time to try and get the whirlwind 
feeling out of my head.  Now that it is over it is time to figure out 
what worked good and all those places that we can improve.  Therefore, I 
am requesting the following from those that participated and / or 
monitored the exercise.

    Those that were participants we would like; #1 name & call sign, #2 
time activated, #3 list of assignments with arrival & departure (to next 
assignment) times, #4 time released and finally #5 your observation 
about the exercise.  I will attempt to condense the observations an 
publish the information to the group.

    A couple of things we learned, when SARES is late in being activated 
we are behind a power curve.  Our first notification was a phone call 
asking if we were en-route to the EOC, we should have been alerted some 
time before that.  We had a resource net person in place to begin 
deploying members to 25 different location in the city.  we were 
requested to the EOC, then figure out how to do the deployments - so 
much for a little pre-planning!!!!!!  We should not have tried to handle 
NC without help.  When we were able to get assistance, they took over NC 
and we went simplex to transmit logistic requests (7) to the Emergency 
Volunteer Center (EVC).  Yes, we learned a lot that could be done in the 
future.

    WHAT are you thoughts???????

Thanks
