    “Rolling Thunder is in effect,” repeated Col. Rene Horton, the group commander, as she called each one of her company and battalion commanders from the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in Roseville. “A major earthquake has hit the Bay Area. This could be a tragic event but we have been training for this and we have a job to do. Roll out and do great things. Do you understand your orders commander?” “Yes ma’am,” came the reply. “Then execute,” said Horton. California Army National Guard leaders from the 115th Regional Support Group begin the mission one minute after midnight, Jan. 6, 2012, during the RSGs Emergency Deployment Readiness Exercise, which had 60 vehicles and 217 troops moving their wheeled assets around the state in response to a earthquake scenario. This is the first training that solely focuses on moving the vehicle specialists and their hauling machines into position to respond to a state emergency.
