00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:19.280
Force Next is COMO Communications. Very excited about this, working
5
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:22.920
very very hard with Colonel David Albanize in New York
6
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:32.240
and Warrant Officer Ray Richard Martino. They have helped me
7
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:34.799
develop back when I was G six in New York
8
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:39.679
what became New York's COMMO program. Then mister Martino helped
9
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:42.759
us work out with SAUGUS that we have now worked
10
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:46.679
out a program with Department of Homeland Security that now
11
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:51.799
we at SAUGUS can help DHS assign frequencies that are
12
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:57.719
permanent assigned frequencies for federal disaster response to individual state
13
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:01.960
defense forces. I am the signatory on that per DHS,
14
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:06.120
and what that allows us to do now is to
15
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:09.640
run exercises nationally, and we have been. We've run now
16
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:14.719
three in a row at our annual conference national COMMO
17
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:19.719
exercises where literally any SDF could communicate and any SDF
18
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.640
that wants access to the national frequencies to now exercise
19
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:27.120
on themselves just needs to come through our COMMO program
20
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.719
and get a copy of the PDF form to fill
21
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:32.959
out and we'll get them approved as long as they're
22
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:38.000
a lawful SDF. But we're now unrolling three levels of
23
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.400
the badge for the COMMO program, and we're going to
24
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.000
offer it a chance this fall for people to earn
25
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.120
the senior badge coming in and learning basically the instructor
26
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.959
credentials to teach the COMMO course. But the COMMO Course,
27
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.120
like all the others, we want it taught at home
28
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.239
station and it largely comes from what the New York
29
00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:00.519
Guards original COMMO course was, which is again took most
30
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.280
of our people the better part of a year to complete,
31
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:09.280
but it qualified them in an emergency to operate as
32
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.000
a low level radio tech, which is what we need.
33
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:13.800
So that's COMMO
