This is the first chance after a hectic weekend I have had a
chance to write anything.
Camp Atterbury: bit
bigger than I thought 300,000 acres is big, home to the Indiana state guard and
reserve training.
Also as mentioned home to the Dept. of Homeland Security Search
and Rescue Centre for Indiana.
I am lucky enough to be here for around 3 weeks (was
originally one but my Canada problem prompted this as an option)
The SAR centre is a great facility and provides training for
SAR –State/County wide .Police training facilities for SAWT teams and
specialist search .Government agencies in search and disaster management, so a
huge raft of activities.
This weekend has been a Basic/inter trailing dog course.
About 12 attendees from various depts. including Police,
Fire and Rescue and the voluntary sector.
Run in near sub-zero temps, which I am being blamed for
bringing) but some very good training done and lessons learnt.
The next few days will be an opportunity to really find out
how the location works what can we learn from it , could a place such as this
exist in the UK ?
We may struggle to find a suitable 300,000 acres site ;)
