Kentucky Department of Military Affairs Fiscal Year 2011 – 2012 Annual Report Kentucky Department of Military Affairs Fiscal Year 2011 – 2012 Annual Report Maj. Greg Schanding (left), civil engineering officer for the Kentucky Air National Guard’s 123rd Contingency Response Group, prepares a map of functional facilities near the flight line at Fort Campbell, Ky. while members (right) of the Kentucky Air National Guard’s 123rd Special Tactics Squadron check radio communications during an earthquake- response exercise May 14, 2012. More than 30 Kentucky Airmen deployed to demonstrate their preparedness for an initial response after a natural disaster. The Kentucky Air Guard's Initial Response Hub team is the first of its kind in the nation. No other unit in the U.S. military has the same breadth of capabilities housed in one unit, with the C-130 aircraft to permit immediate response. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Maxwell Rechel) Kentucky Air and Army National Guardsmen assigned to Kentucky's Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and High Yield Explosive (CBRNE) Enhanced Response Force Package (CERFP) received a "T" rating, trained in 16 collective tasks required to validate a CERFP mission, upon completion of their initial certification Exercise Evaluation May 24 at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center in Butlerville, Indiana. Evaluators said the CERFP “shattered all CERFP records" and had multiple best practices that would be taught to all CERFPs nationwide. Records were set in site set up, decontamination throughput, search operations and medical set-ups and treatment throughput. The CERFP is a joint-effort between Airmen from the Kentucky Air National Guard and and Army Guardsmen from the 301st Chemical Company, Morehead; 299th Chemical Company, Maysville; and 103rd Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, Richmond. The CERFP is a high-speed team that must be ready to deploy within six hours of a CBRNE attack, with a mission to locate and extract victims, perform mass patient or casualty decontamination and treat and stabilize patients for evacuation. The team was validated on its ability to perform those tasks by Observer Controller Trainers from the Joint InterAgency Training and Education Center in St. Albans, WV, which provides Homeland Security training to Department of Defense (DoD) assets.

(U.S. Army Photo by Pfc. Lerone Simmons, 133rd Mobile Public Affairs Detachment, Kentucky Army National Guard) The 123d Fatality Search and Recovery Team (FSRT) successfully demonstrated its mission capabilities during Exercise Patriot 12 in July 2012, supporting 1,100 military and civilian emergency responders at Volk Field, Wisconsin simulating a national response to a major earthquake. The team shared its expertise with a new FSRT assigned to the Indiana 101 Kentucky Department of Military Affairs Fiscal Year 2011 – 2012 Annual Report National Guard, training them in all aspects of the mission while also integrating operations with FSRTs form two other participating states. The 123d Operations Group sustained through much of the fiscal year its dedicated support to the U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command Tactical Airlift Control Center (TACC) with one aircraft and two aircrews to fly worldwide airlift, disaster response, aeromedical and VIP support missions whenever tasked. In addition, 24 personnel from the 123d Operations Group supported Pacific Command with two C-130H aircraft, two air crews and support personnel for airdrop training exercise Cope South in Dhaka, Bangladesh in April. Tech. Sgt. Joshua Shelby, a loadmaster in the Kentucky Air National Guard, shares his knowledge of heavy equipment airdrop procedures with an audience of more than 20 Bangladesh Air Force Airmen at Kurmitola Air Base, Bangladesh, on April 22, 2012. The briefing is part of Cope South, a six-day exercise where participants are scheduled to conduct cooperative flight operations, including aircraft generation and recovery, low-level navigation, tactical airdrop and air-land missions. They also will conduct subject-matter expert exchanges in the operations, maintenance and rigging disciplines. (U.S. Air Force photo by 1st Lt. Cammie Quinn) The 123d Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit of the 123d Civil Engineer Squadron continued to be fully engaged at home and abroad. Members deployed for combat support operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and assisted Indiana and Kentucky state police bomb squads with proficiency training and IED tactics.

Olson, who died Dec. 27, 2004, of wounds he suffered in action in Samarra early in his tour with 1st Battalion, 128th Infantry, was honored at a ceremony turning a Samarra patrol base over to the government of Iraq.
