EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — Emergency first responders descended upon the 412th Medical Group clinic in support of an active shooter exercise at Edwards Air Force Base, California, Feb. 11.
The exercise involved numerous base agencies such as the 412th Security Forces Squadron and the Edwards Fire Department. A unique factor for this exercise was the involvement of local community emergency partners in the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster, California.
“This is a multi-agency exercise,” Wells said. “Every time we do an exercise, we want to invite and we want to involve more and more people.”
The exercise was the first of two that the 412th Test Wing Inspector General’s office conducts to train and gauge the base’s emergency response coordination said Randy Wells, 412th TW IG senior exercise planner.
