Urban Shield 2010 Exercise Critical Training For First Responders. October 15-18Urban Shield 2010 is the largest tactical exercise in the United States, and will challenge the skills and determination of local, national and international tactical and emergency forces in a series of real life scenarios.
Urban Shield demonstrates the Bay Area region's ability to manage numerous on-going critical
incidents through the use of multiple incident commands. The critical incidents take place in a
variety of venues over an extended period of time.
The exercise requires full implementation of the components of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS). An Incident Command System (ICS) structure, with six Area Commands and a Department Operations Center (DOC), were implemented to manage this extremely large exercise.
Urban Shield 2010 will enable regional first responders to exercise their core competencies through
scenario-based training. Regional multi-agency, multi-disciplinary training exercises should
continue to be offered to the Bay Area region's first responders. These exercises provide
opportunities to enhance response efforts and identify training needs in a simulated environment.
Future exercises should focus on multi-discipline integration of first responders to improve working
relationships and protocols in order to further develop the Bay Area region's capability to
successfully respond to incidents related to homeland security.
The Bay Area UASI Region continues to conduct multi-agency, multi-discipline training exercises.
These joint training exercises would provide first responders with the opportunity to enhance their
understanding of multi-discipline response operations, roles and responsibilities, coordination, and
gain valuable experience. Conducting full-scale regional exercises strengthen our preparedness and
abilities to prevent and disrupt terrorist attacks, protect the citizens of the Bay Area, its
critical infrastructures and key resources.
This exercise is a critical component for the Bay Area's mission for homeland security. The Bay Area
is striving to be a secure, prepared and resilient region consistently developing regional
capabilities based on risk through collaboration and coordination that build and maintain this
vision.

Urban Shield 2010 San Francisco
Saturday, October 16, 2010 - 6:00am
Monday, October 18, 2010 - 6:00am
Address: 2601 Peralta Oaks Court, Oakland, CA, US
Event Desc: Urban Shield is a 48 hour SWAT training exercise across the San Francisco Bay Area. One of the scenarios incorporates FIRE/EMS into the scenario. The proposal is that EMS persons would get a SWAT escort into the scene and be given close quarter force protection while providing the needed medical care (triage, emergent treatment) and then egress the area under cover and protection. The SWAT team protection may be "overkill", but unified commanders want to insure the safety of all public safety responders.
