Introduction

The eLearning training will be divided into four parts as listed:• Mobilization• Support System• Communications Center• Deployment

The notes section contains the narrator’s script for this slide. The narrator should speak in a calm but authoritative tone.

MobilizationSafety

• Transports only two people in cockpit• No personnel in communication center during

transport• MCV ground clearance is 10 inches, minimum

height clearance is 10 feet 6 inches• MCV has long rear overhang which can

impede travel on steep inclines• Obey all speed limits and traffic laws

MobilizationParking

• Choose an appropriate parking location– Select location based on the nature of the event, weather

and possible evolution of the event. – Consider the safety of personnel who will gather around

the command post– Find a relatively level place to park with a maximum of 3”

difference from front-to-back, or level the unit– Avoid parking directly under overhead power lines or over

gas pipelines– Leave a distance of at least 10 feet on both sides of MCV

to allow full use of awning and Cat-5 connecters
