Operation Fall Festival 2006
- Coded "Concealed Carry"
- Four platoons deployed
during Fall Festival 2006. 1st Platoon conducted
terrorist' threat assessments, 2nd Platoon established
redundant communication networks, 3rd Platoon accessed
community readiness for housing-in-place and mass
evacuations, and Fourth Platoon stood mission ready to
reinforce first responders during any community crisis.
- Mission focus was on safeguarding
Sister Bay against a possible terrorist attack, armed robbery, toxic spill,
anthrax scare, or bomb threat.
- Veterans followed the same Incident Command and Control
protocols used by:
- Door County law enforcement, emergency government and
the Liberty Grove Fire Department.
- VFW
Post 8337 took command, established a command "post," at their
stand and post members as Safety, Information, and Liaison
Officers. Our Vice Commander acted as Operations' Chief,
Chaplain as Planning Chief, Surgeon as Logistics Chief and
Quartermaster as Finance Chief. The IC ordered
demobilization at 1600 hours on Sunday. Refer to incident
reports, operation logs, debriefing summaries, and postings
below for protocol changes and process improvements.

The Incident Command System (ICS) is required
teaching for all law enforcement, emergency government, fire
departments, and Homeland Security personnel.
-
Door County veterans
practice ICS' protocols and NIMS' (National Incident Management
System) terminology so they'll be ready to roll during any
natural disaster, terrorist attack, man-made catastrophe, or pandemic.
Veterans do NOT replace professional first responders (fire fighters, law enforcement, emergency government
or Homeland Security personnel). Rather, they provide a "fourth shift"
when professional responders are overwhelmed or burned out, have exhausted
their mutual aid
agreements, or they're called to respond to a more serious community crisis.
Tested under fire, veterans stand ready to roll when their community is
under attack.
