Firefighters with the Directorate of Emergency Services Fire Department participate in a scenario at the post railyard March 20, 2019, for the Vigilant Triad 2019 exercise at Fort McCoy, Wis. Vigilant Triad is a full-scale exercise that helps the installation test its response to a variety of incidents and accidents. Such exercises are part of a continuing effort by the Department of Defense to refine and improve emergency response to natural and man-made disasters. Fort McCoy’s Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security served as the lead agency for the exercise. The 2019 exercise scenario included a simulated trail derailment where, because of the derailment, some overturned railcars replicated leaking hazardous materials.
