EmComm hams,
Here is a good chance to practice your EmComm skills. This MARS
exercise gives you a chance to work MARS members on 60 meters, receive
DOD MARS Nation wide broadcast, and practice giving the status of your
parish to MARS members. See county status report and SWEAT-MSO in
attachment for details on information MARS stations will be asking you for.
Below is from the ARRL website:

Readiness Exercise
10/03/2018
Military Auxiliary Radio System (MARS) members will support a Department
of Defense HF radio communication exercise *October 24 – 26*. The

military standard communication protocols, simulating the loss of
conventional communication systems. MARS members will interface with the
Amateur Radio community to collect information at the county level
regarding publicly available information.
*Amateur Radio operators are asked to monitor 60-meter channel 1
(5,330.5 kHz, USB) at 0001 UTC on October 24, for a high-power broadcast
of updated information regarding this exercise and how the Amateur Radio
community can participate.*
During the exercise, MARS members will communicate with Amateur Radio
operators on *all five 60-meter channels*, as well as on other Amateur
Radio bands. *Contact* <mailto:mars.exercises at gmail.com> MARS for more
information regarding this exercise. As a simulation, this exercise will
not affect any public or private communications or infrastructure. The
exercise will end at 2359 UTC on October 26.
