There will be a larger than average presence of emergency vehicles at Rock Island Arsenal this weekend as Arsenal emergency responders participate in an exercise with the Mutual Alarm Box Aid System. The training at Rock Island Arsenal will take place at the Directorate of Emergency Services Fire Training Facility on the south side of the installation. The exercise will also make use of Memorial Park.

The Rock Island Arsenal site will involve the response of MABAS resources to an incident involving a statewide activation of specialized resources. For Rock Island Arsenal, MABAS will activate its Rapid Resource Response (or Triple R). A Triple R task force consists of a statewide deployable technical rescue team, a statewide deployable hazardous materials team and small cadre of members of the Illinois Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 1 that serve in a command and control role. Several Triple R task forces will work continuously over the weekend. In addition, Rock Island area emergency management agencies, Rock Island Arsenal resources, MABAS Unmanned Arial Systems (UAS) and MABAS water rescue resources will be involved.


The training at Rock Island Arsenal will take place at the Directorate of Emergency Services Fire Training Facility on the south side of the installation.


The exercise will simulate a coordinated terrorist attack.

Well yesterday the Arsenal had a shooter exercise just involving their Fire units. Might of been a table top as it didn't last more that an hour.
