“About
200 California National Guard, civilian law enforcement and
firefighting personnel will be involved in a coordinated interagency
response at the Richmond Fire Training Center to the discovery of a
“dirty bomb.”
“The improvised radiological bomb will be
located in Richmond, and the responding airmen, local law enforcement
and firefighting personnel will descend upon the city in a drill to find
and defuse the bomb as part of an emergency response exercise.”
Also, notice the new term, ‘citizen soldier‘ being coined here under what appears to be a DHS umbrella:
“As citizen-soldiers, our guardsmen offer a
broad diversity of skills, both military and civilian,” said Col. Peter
Cross, commander of the 49th Military Police Brigade. “We train
year-round with partner agencies like the El Cerrito Police Department
to ensure we’re ready to respond to the communities in which we live and
serve.”
