Work, time and thought has been put into that. I think one of the best conferences that ive attended was the very last one in september, which was the after action. I know jill raycauft and lucas ekrode have taken this to heart so we do have a road map for next year. Read the after action. No. 2, captain houston mentioned it already, its think open architecture. I noticed that departures for the military, our communication is encrypted, when you are doing humanitarian assistance or even here on national soil, you need to be able to communicate. So that was a take away, probably unencrypted plain text communication. Think open architecture.

So it was a very successful year. Thats what we did as far as the field exercises.

It probably wont be the same ones. We are building the institutional relationships and getting beyond the scenario. Its not just about the heavy equipment operators, its about city of San Francisco staff and departments understanding how the military works and giving the military a chance to work with the civilian authority in a noncrisis environment so that when they have to do it anywhere in the world, theyve got one extra training day. Thats the way we look at it, its all one extra training day. You add all that up, we have a lot better chance when we need it. With that, im going to bring up dejon and take over the panel and ill talk to you shortly. Thank you, rob. The paneli

It was a really good team effort by the city,
