OK County: Operational Readiness ExerciseNov 07 2025The Operational Readiness Exercise (ORE) is a 3-day, full-scale exercise involving partners from across all public safety disciplines, at all levels of government, and from across our state and beyond. The ORE will involve several different scenarios encompassing technical rescue, CBRNE, K9 Search & Rescue, and Regional EMS Systems (REMSS) operations as well as wide-area communications support involving multiple command posts and a base of operations. Each shift is around 8 hours long. Volunteers will be asked to act as patients for the medical and rescue operational rotations. Moulage, the art of applying realistic, mock injuries for the purpose of training will be deployed. This adds layers of complexity and realism to exercises, simulated injuries such as lacerations, burns, and bruises helps create realistic, immersive disaster training scenarios. Eight (8) Community Service Hours, sponsored by the Oklahoma Office of Homeland Security and the Regional Medical Response System for Central Oklahoma, will be awarded to all volunteers! In addition, five Local Continuing Education Credits will be awarded per day to volunteers that hold an EMS certification. Please note, a box lunch will be provided along with plenty of water.
