The MARE tested the ability for the participating units to respond after a simulated aircraft crash.
NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — On, Oct. 13, Nellis AFB conducted an exercise to evaluate real world response capabilities of emergency personnel for scenarios that could impact the base.
Some of the participants included the Wing Inspection Team (WIT) members, Scene Controllers for additional safety, and volunteers simulating victims and witness to the incident.
The Major Accident Response Exercise (MARE) was used as a learning tool for responders, providing feedback for processes to improve on.
