Exercise

A Continuity of Operations (COOP) exercise was held Feb. 28, as part of an Air Force annual requirement. A COOP is usually held within 12-24 hours after an emergency situation to assess damage of property and to figure out what is needed to make the mission fully operational again. Pictured here, from right, 72nd Mission Support Group Commander Col. Michael Green, the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Director, and Tinker Fire and Emergency Services Chief Terry Ford and Scott Bloxham work in the EOC during last week’s COOP exercise. The EOC is the C2 support element that coordinates information and resources to support the installation’s actions before, during and after an incident at the operational level, and is the focal point for the development and coordination of the follow-on operations and recovery plan.

Exercise

Airman Ryan Kalugdan and Staff Sgt. Chris Hansen, both with the 72nd Operations Support Squadron’s Weather Center, issued weather warnings, watches and advisories base wide throughout the day during Tinker’s annual natural disaster exercise Feb. 27. The weather center continuously monitors local and national weather sites to keep Tinker personnel fully informed and prepared in case of a real world emergency situation. Although the natural disaster exercise is not an Air Force-required exercise, it is important for all base personnel to stay fully aware of response procedures, especially with Oklahoma’s unpredictable spring weather.
