UPCOMING TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES

MDWG SAREX on Saturday, February 24 - March 2nd, 2025 (Location Frederick Municipal Airport on March 1st)

The Maryland Wing will host a SAREX (Search and Rescue Exercise) with the engagement of all available assets on Saturday, March 1, 2025, at the Frederick Municipal Airport using the AOPA National Aviation Community Center (296 Bucheimer Rd, Frederick, MD 21701) as the Incident Command Post.

Registration links for the Incident Command Team (IC Team), Aircrews, and Ground Teams are provided below.

To enhance operational efficiency, the MDWG is committed to improving response times and ensuring seamless tasking during this SAREX. To achieve this, the IC Team will begin preliminary incident response activities the week before the event.

Key Details for the IC Team:

• Registration Deadline: Saturday, February 22, 2025
• Incident Injects Begin: as early as Tuesday, February 25, 2025
• Daily Evening Work Sessions: IC Team members are expected to participate in Teams sessions starting February 24 to prepare for the exercise.
• Note: Failure to participate in these preparatory activities before March 1 will result in removal from the team.

We request all members registering for IC Team key positions to actively participate in these sessions to ensure the team is fully prepared to respond swiftly and effectively to any incident.

As always, the IC Team will collaborate within the MDWG Office 365 Environment. If you need an account, please request one here: MDWG Office 365 Account Request.
