September 11, 2010 | 11:11
The Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre (EADRCC) will
conduct the consequence management field exercise `Armenia 2010' from
11 to 17 September 2010 in the city of Arzni, in the Kotayk region
next to Yerevan in Armenia.
Teams from 15 Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC) and
Mediterranean Dialogue (MD) nations are planned to take part in the
exercise and 11 additional countries are scheduled to participate by
sending staff officers.
All together, more than 600 individuals belonging to civilian and
military teams from NATO and partner countries with capabilities to
deal with different aspects of emergencies will take part in the
event. Some 40 observers are also expected. `Armenia 2010' will allow
NATO and partner countries to practice disaster response mechanisms
and capabilities and to enhance co-operation in emergency situations.
The scenario for the exercise will be a severe earthquake in the
vicinity of Yerevan, resulting in high numbers of victims and
widespread damage to critical infrastructure, including chemical
spills and a radiological incident.
Through this exercise, NATO and partner nations will practice the
Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre (EADRCC)
procedures and capabilities, in order to improve nations' ability to
respond to a disaster. The exercise will also contribute to strengthen
the stricken nation's capability to effectively coordinate consequence
management operations.
The exercise will consist of the following phases:
11-13 September 2010: Organization of on-site Operations, reception of
teams, training for participants and a Command Post Exercise.
14-15 September 2010: Field activities at the exercise sites.
15-16 September 2010: Evaluation, VIP day, demonstrations and a
closing ceremony.
The exercise `ARMENIA 2010' is an Armenian contribution to the
Partnership for Peace (PfP) Work Program for 2010. Since 2000, this is
the twelfth field exercise conducted by the EADRCC.
The RA Government allocated a total of U.S. $55,000 for the service of
two NATO-owned Boeing-700 planes, one Russian IL-76 and one Kazakh
IL-76 by the Zvarnots airport. The planes will bring the necessary
equipment for the exercise under the Partnership for Peace program.
