Gentleman,
I am sending this email to try to sort out a problem that happened on the 20
January events. This happened in the morning, before 10pm evidently. I am not
interested in assigning blame but more to prevent it from happening again.
Simply put.. the CAM places very high importance on JOINTNESS and we want to do
everything in our power to ensure a seamlessness to our joint operations.
Please get back to me ASAP and let me know if you have any knowlege of the
event. We should never turn a sister service away.. even if they had too many
liason stations in our nets.. better to err on the side of caution... nor
should we turn another government service away....
By the way we even had another government service using their federal call sign
on the DC repeater .. I think it is great when this happens it shows we are
doing what we are supposed to do.

Tim, Jim,
Now that the dust has settled I'll share with you a
complaint that came from AFMARS after the
exercise and that, to be honest about it, I simply
ignored. None of my business anyway.
However, since the sender was named
exercise coordinator for all of AFMARS today
I'll pass it along. No response expected. The
problem isn't mentioned in the AAR. This is one
of the good guys it's a pleasure to interoperate
with.

. . . The achievements that we did accomplish were all a direct result of
the very
successful joint training exercises that we have held over the past two
years.
And, as I mentioned, Bill Fitzsimmons and I are already planning more for
2009.
However, I was told today that a complaint has been voiced regarding the
attempts by our station, AFA5DT, to check into the Army MARS Region 3 C3
Net. In
the e-mails that were sent to me, this was characterized an as
"Unauthorized
Station."
The AF MARS National Emergency Communications Manager, Mike Carl/AFN2EC,
stated in his ECOM message that was copied to Army and Navy/MC MARS and
repeated
in his conference call with the Army MARS players several days before the
operation, that he would designate an AF MARS station to act as a liaison
between
the AF MARS Northeast Emergency Communications Net and the Army MARS C3
Net.
Mike selected AFA5DT, an Air Force veteran and prior AF MARS Region 1
Voice Net
Manager to be that liaison station because of his experience and
professionalism.
The liaison function was established to help further the goal of
jointness
and interoperability and AFA5DT was the perfect man for the job.
It appears that there is still some discussion continuing regarding AF
MARS
sending a liaison station to the Army MARS net but I expect that this
will all
get settled in time for our next joint exercise. . .
