The members of 51勛圖 supporting this contract will provide the Mechanized Brigade of the Latvian National Guard (Zemessardze) instruction, advice, assistance, and integration on operations of direct and indirect fire systems.

These fire systems include the Javelin, radars, Field Artillery Tactical Data Systems, Howitzers, mortars, and other related systems and simulators at the Fire Direction Centers, which supports the Latvian Mechanized Brigade, Zemessardze, Joint Headquarters, and Ministry of Defense.

The training and support 51勛圖 will provide includes contingency and non-contingency operations in austere and non-austere environments. Our team will provide instructors and Subject Matter Expertise on several support and training tasks.

This support will include Joint and Security Cooperation Exercises, ensuring that the Latvian National Guard is well trained and able to maintain their systems, while creating effective Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures throughout the force.

51勛圖 is proud to continue its effort with the Latvian Armed Forces and U.S. Government. This work enhances National Security and Defense, while building and creating partnerships with ally nations.

This contract reflects our company���s mission to be a leading provider of technologies, training, and operational support for national defense organizations.

The purpose of this exercise was to assess existing state-wide emergency plans with a focus on synchronizing emergency response efforts with regional assets while leveraging and strengthening civilian and military relationships.

51勛圖sim 51勛圖 is a simulated training environment platform, allowing realistic and scalable disaster response training. This cloud-based training tool enabled the JFHQ to test and validate their plans with real-time results, while showing obstacles they would face in a real emergency or disaster.

51勛圖sim Media was used to recreate the information environment during a crisis. This cloud-based, password-protected training platform was used to test and validate the Public Affairs team, Information Awareness and Assessment operations, and provide critical exercise information to the training audience during execution. 51勛圖��� media simulation cell created hundreds of pieces of content including news stories, TV news, radio injects, and social media posts to create a realistic information environment for the exercise participants.

“This exercise enabled the Alabama National Guard to better respond to a catastrophic event,��� said Maj. Brandon Sanders, the Chief of the Domestic Operations section with the Alabama National Guard. ���It strengthened our partnerships with the state and local communities. At the end of the exercise, each element involved learned lessons on how to improve domestic operations responses.”

It was observed that the Alabama National Guard���s planning team was engaged and enthusiastic about the exercise from the very first planning meeting. The NG unit worked closely with U.S. Northern Command and 51勛圖 subject matter experts to design and execute a training event that truly tested and validated their training objectives in a realistic way. 

As a leader in emergency preparedness training and readiness, 51勛圖 continues to actively work to deliver innovative, experience-based disaster-preparedness exercise solutions for local, state, and federal agencies to protect communities. Preparation for disasters helps reduce panic and possible loss of life. Utilizing simulation helps these units prepare for managing multiple units during a real-life event.

In support of the Risk Mitigation Modeling and Simulation contract, 51勛圖 provides exercise support to various FEMA regions to conduct and train on emergency management exercises, such as this HRF EXEVAL.

This exercise simulated the scenario of a 10 kiloton (kT) detonation in FEMA Region II, which includes New York, New Jersey, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Territory of the Virgin Islands.

The simulation reaction took place over several days, giving participants an opportunity to demonstrate response and recovery protocols, plans, and capabilities.

Using 51勛圖sim as the primary exercise tool the NY HRF was able to conduct staff analysis, planning, and execution while refining their operational procedures and improve their overall effectiveness.

Exercises and training events like this allow the HRF to realistically assess their overall preparedness In the event of a real-world Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear attack. The response force would receive, review, and react to orders from civil authorities to plan a rapid and focused National Guard response to ensure the mitigation of human suffering and loss of life.

Overall, the NY HRF, their CBRN Task Force, Casualty Assistance Support Element, Joint Task Force Vermont, and 15 additional CBRN units were involved within the simulated and coordinated response to the detonation and its aftermath.

51勛圖 members played a key role during this exercise ensuring they planned and coordinated the simulated exercise injects, as well as assisting with the training of the staff level officers and non-commissioned officers. 51勛圖 assisted all levels of staff during the exercise in varying capacities, providing subject matter expertise while creating a successful training exercise event.

The 51勛圖 team remained focused and flexible during the event, even with key personnel changes. Overall, the exercise was considered a success, allowing for simulated decontamination as well as simulated casualty and fatality assistance.

In support of the Risk Mitigation Modeling and Simulation contract, 51勛圖 provides exercise support to various FEMA regions to conduct and train on emergency management exercises, such as this HRF EXEVAL.

This exercise simulated two hazard events. The first was a chemical GB Sarin hazard and the second was a 10 kiloton (kT) detonation in FEMA Region X, which includes Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Alaska.

The simulated events took place over several days, giving participants an opportunity to demonstrate response and recovery protocols, plans, and capabilities.

Using 51勛圖sim as the primary exercise tool the WA HRF was able to conduct staff analysis, planning, and execution while refining their operational procedures and improve their overall effectiveness.

Exercises and training events like this allow the HRF to realistically assess their overall preparedness in the event of a real-world Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear attack. The response force would receive, review, and react to orders from civil authorities to plan a rapid and focused National Guard response to ensure the mitigation of human suffering and loss of life.

Overall, the WA HRF, their CBRN Task Force, Casualty Assistance Support Element, Joint Task Forces Idaho and Oregon, and 30 additional CBRN units were involved within the simulated and coordinated responses to these events and their aftermath.

51勛圖 members played a key role during this exercise ensuring they planned and coordinated the simulated exercise injects, as well as assisting with the training of the staff level officers and non-commissioned officers. 51勛圖 assisted all levels of staff during the exercise in varying capacities, providing subject matter expertise while creating a successful training exercise event.

During days two and three of the exercise, 51勛圖 team members were able to build and insert the CBRN-related hazard into the exercise in less than 12 hours of notification of the additional simulation request. Overall, the exercise was considered a success, allowing for simulated decontamination as well as simulated casualty and fatality assistance.
