Nashville is one of several cities in Department of Defense (DoD) Region IV that will have the opportunity to participate in an NDMS exercise the week of April 26, 2010, with the majority of exercise play (receipt of patients) being on Wednesday, April 28.  Region IV is working with Department of Defense to secure aircraft (C-130) and victims for the exercise.   
The primary objectives of the exercise would be to test the capability to receive, manage, track and transport NDMS patients, family members, and pets.  They estimate that the number of “victims” would be 20-40.  NDMS has asked the MTMRC for backup support for the airport exercise.  If you are interested, please respond with your availability to: mtmrc@vanderbilt.edu
