Welcome to the more than 1,000 registered attendees at this jackson virtual discussion forum. This is the fifth of these discussions. These discussions have tapped the Exceptional Leadership in knowledge that resides in the jackson network. Today is no exception. All of our panelists today are senior fellows who teach here at yale. Our moderator today, secretary john kerry graduated from yale, and like jacksons founder, john jackson is joining us today, secretary kerry, john kerry at time, left new haven to serve in vietnam. He then served more than two decades in the u. S. Senate before becoming the 68th under ry of state president obama. You probably know all of that, but what you might not know is that secretary kerry continues to pay it forward, helping to train the next generation of leaders here at the Jackson Institute and across yales many schools. It is my pleasure to welcome secretary kerry. This time, secretary, perhaps ou might offer some initial perspectives on how you ass
Percent of all wild fires in california with 10 acres or less and we do this with an aggressive report of incidents, even with a 911 call of smoepk with land, air and ground attack. Once fires become to a large enough scale we call mue tour aid, california lass a great mue tour aid system. I think its looked at nationally because we have souch excellent cooperation with our cooperating agencies. Once it reaches that point, the team will come in and assist the local jurisdiction to run that incident. When we start having multiple fires in a certain area, then we get into what we call area command. I think that provides the overview. I talked a little bit about mous and relationships with the marines. Maybe we can talk about how is the National Guard and dod resources and capabilities integrated into the command and control at the fire and also the supporting ops centers whether it be the gac or other centers down there. Maybe our military personnel can talk about that, or ray. Its impor
Great mue tour aid system. I think its looked at nationally because we have souch excellent cooperation with our cooperating agencies.

Maybe we can talk about how is the National Guard and dod resources and capabilities integrated into the command and control at the fire and also the supporting ops centers whether it be the gac or other centers down there. Maybe our military personnel can talk about that, or ray. Its important to note that we are the supporting effort to cal fire and we get called in when they are basically out of assets. We are working for cal fire, they are the incident commanders, we follow their coordination, typically were the last ones in and the first ones o
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
