Team Dover to hold MARE
DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. --
Team Dover will hold a Major Accident Response Exercise here Aug. 12-14 that will test the base's and local first responder's abilities to respond to a myriad of domestic situations and scenarios.
Members can expect delays at the gates and should prepare and plan ahead for longer commute times as they travel to and around the base. Gate and lane closures may occur intermittently during the scenarios.
"Team Dover relies on its partnerships with local emergency-response agencies to serve its personnel during exercises and real-world scenarios," said David Johnson, deputy chief of 436th Airlift Wing exercise evaluations and planning. "Dover AFB's emergency teams can only handle so many people; without support from the off-base agencies, our people would have their hands full."
