The Salvation Army

&

The Army & Air Force Guardsmen drill for disasters in a big way.

The Guardsman’s toys are not too shabby.

The Salvation

Army provided

smiles and

sustenance via

four canteen

trucks,

numerous

autos, a

communicat--

ions vehicle,

and yes an ice

truck loaded

with 4,000

pounds of ice

and frozen

delights.

Thirty-six

Salvation Army volunteers from the cities of Chicago, Peoria, Omaha, Lincoln, Indianapolis,

Milwaukee and states of WI, IN, NE, MN, and KS made for a family of dedicated people

interested in serving others. Shown, a Chaplain, Alexis from Milwaukee presents a devotional.

Her father passed away during the exercise.

Lunch sacks by the hundreds prepared daily patiently (left). And delivered with a smile (right).

The Lincoln,

Nebraska SATERN members, second from left, Jared NØJMP, Eileen KEØEQY, &Eugene

KBØQEY (left to right) plan their radio operation for Fort McCoy.

2017 Northern Patriot Exercises were held in Wisconsin (Volk Field & Fort McCoy) during July 17th through July 20th. Lincoln SATERN was represented by Jared Pollack [NØJMP], Eileen VanLent [KEØEQY], and Eugene Schoeppner [KBØQEY] helping to establish & maintain radio communication for multiple The Salvation Army canteens & food depots and more. The Salvation Army’s duties were to supply hydration and nutrition to the many military (& special units)

participating in the exercise scenarios of disaster & crisis. (Salvation Army Team Radio Network, Lincoln, NE. “The SATERN Connection Newsletter.”)

Daily devotions with a prayer for our service to uplift the hard endeavoring, & sweating

Guardsman were common.

radio shack (left). Chinooks (3) prepare to evacuate tornado victims in the dawns early light

Reverse Osmosis water purification in operation turning

pond water into Guardsmen drinking water (left); Internet

supplied from satellite by guardsmen (below). The

Guardsmen can be self-sustaining in the field.

A military rescue

convoy, now you see

it…and below you don’t.

No it’s not the Middle-

East, its tornado

evacuation in the Mid-

West.

Supply & evacuation air

ops continued non-stop

as the Guardsmen were

hard pressed to relieve citizens.

From a canteen the ceaseless

Evac drama was unfolding in

every direction.

Army & Air Force

Guardsmen Units came from

Delaware, Georgia,

Maryland, Nebraska, & Wisconsin for this exercise was gleaned from discussions with these

fine young patriots.

With smiles and sustenance & a little TLC.

The meeting was held at the Olathe Corps. Brian, KCØBS, JOCO ARES Emergency

Coordinator, began the program by having each person present provide his or her first name,

callsign (if applicable) and amateur radio or other project they hoped to complete this summer.

Brian also presented information on Johnson County ARES activities and upcoming public

service events. Rich, NØENO, SATERN Divisional Coordinator, then presented a brief synopsis

of SATERN activies including information on the then upcoming Patriot North Exercise.

Brian then introduced Chuck, KØXM, of the Back Yard Repeater Group (pictured above). who

presented the main program titled, “Emergency Communications Utilizing DMR Radio.” DMR

stands for Digital Mobile Radio. It was a fascinating look at how DMR can change the scope of

amateur radio communications in disaster related activities.

Is there joy in these faces? You bet! There is a choice of 30, 53, 66, or 100 miles.

A gaggle of vehicles in the morning light attests to about 390 participants.

Yes, The Salvation Army’s Communications Vehicle made for a safe day of bicycling. Net

Control Operator was Ryan O’Neil KDØEWB, with Brian Short KCØBS, who also set-up the

rigging, Matt May KC4WCG and a host of the usual radio operators at various tasks.
