Was trying to be sure we took people and spent time with the Police Officers themselves. We probably spent way too much too much emphasis on contractors early on and the problem with that was we would send our Contractor Force out, they may have been the only people out there doing the training, and what would happen when the threat increase took place, the contractors would remain on the safety of the compound. This could go on for days or weeks. The frustration came from the afghans because they relied on that training on a daily basis. So the person that was with them training them may not be there now for days or weeks at a time. So we kind of changed that around and said we need to take our armed personnel and put them out there and spend time with these folks day in and day out, not only built trust between us and the afghans but it gave them the ability to prg on a daily basis. So the other frustration was the coalition effort. There was a lot of people with great intentions wil
Medical patients and that also showed a great partnership. This is the Health Care Association for hawaii and this is the part of the agency that helped us coordinate the medical response part of this. They were able to conduct a 50bed Disaster Medical Assistance Team hospital on the island of oahu and this allowed the state of hawaii to be able to exercise their statewide disaster drill. One of the things that hawaii has never been able to do is to be able to practice together in one live exercise. They have all of their processes, how theyre going to respond in a local disaster situation, but they have never been able to really put that to use. And being able to partner with us during the rimpac exercise offered them the opportunity to do that. We also had a lot of Civil Military interaction by us providing a lot of capability for them to be able to exercise their disaster plan as well. You see some patients here in the moulage. They were able to moulage and fake wounds and put triag
Channels to be able to open it up for maritime traffic in the bay. This part, this event, was the satellite, construction of a satellite medical facility. Some of our military capability is we have the right engineers and people that can go in and rebuild infrastructure and support. So one of the things they did during this exercise, they actually went in there for about a weeklong event and actually constructed a building and this also helps us it restore capability to wherever we are responding to. This shows a lot of different response here. This is our urban search and rescue event that was part of the overall exercise. We had a lot of different partners that responded to this rubble pile. We had urban search and rescue, u. S. Coast guard, and this provided an opportunity for our military to work with the federal and state partners there in learning how to interact with their agencies and also being able to learn some of the different capabilities that they have in using their equi
Governors Blue Panel Commission report looked at also a lot of those kind of things and what i did was just put a picture up there to show you the 2007 wild fires. When we get to these major wild fires, were talking about multiple wild fires and almost what you would call a fire storm. A lot of the Lessons Learned there are in bullets from just 2007. Why this discussion is important and Lessons Learned up there, the 2007 fires burned a little over 500,000 acres, destroyed over 3200 structures and caused 10 fatalities. So why this is important, as you start to read the fire weather reports that justin talked about as we go into this fall, the experts are predicting above normal significant fire potential across the northwest quarter of the united states. Those of you who live in Southern California are used to a phenomenon called the santa ana winds. When you take into account dry conditions, were in the part of the year when those winds start to change directions, we do have the opport
Was about it. The legendary cbs news show 60 minutes is in damage control mode in a way it hasnt been in almost a decade. Tonight youll hear for the first time from a Security Officer who witnessed the attack. On october 27, it broadcast a report on benghazi using a so called eyewitness suggesting the United States government could have sent backup to the mission in libya during the attack that killed four Americans Last year. One guy saw me. They just shouted. I couldnt believe he had seen me. It was so dark. He started walking towards me. As he was coming closer i hit him with the butt ofl rifle in the face. The star eyewitness had already told the fbi he was not there on the night of the attack. That differing account for 60 minutes to finally admit the error. Nobody likes to admit they made a mistake. If you do, you have to stand uptake responsibility and say you were wrong. We remember the last thyme cbs news made a blunder this big. The Bush National guard story broadcast by 60 m
