Tim Marshall, a volunteer with ARES and a retired Navy chief petty officer, and Navy Lt. Arion McCartney, Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton Chief Information Officer, identify other amateur radio callsigns during the San Diego County 2024 Pediatric Surge Full Scale Exercise on Oct. 24, 2024, aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. The hospital’s goals were to practice communication support during an event with degraded communication assets and to stress interoperability and collaboration with other agencies across the county. “We successfully achieved our objectives during this exercise by seamlessly integrating ARES volunteers into our emergency response framework, enabling efficient backup communication, enhancing resource coordination, and providing real-time situational awareness,” said McCartney. “Our successful collaboration with ARES volunteers and partner agencies demonstrated our ability to effectively manage a large-scale disaster scenario, ensuring that critical information and resources were available to support healthcare facilities and protect our community.”
