5.6 Task 5, Provide Ambulance Service:
5.6.1. General: The safety and security of participants, supporting players and military members at exercise events is of the utmost importance in order to achieve mission effectiveness and maximum training efficiency. During External Evaluations (EXEVAL), Collective Training Events (CTE) and Special Focus Events (SFE), the National Guard Bureau (NGB) requires provision for the safety of anyone in the area of responsibility of the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive (CBRNE) Chemical Response Enterprise (CRE) footprint. Two Real World Medical (RWM) assets (Ambulances) will be staged on the scene while participants are actively exercising, to include, but not limited to:
set up, exercise play, and tear down. In the event that for any reason the RWM team assigned to the training site leaves (i.e.: transport of a patient) and inadequate RWM coverage is left on the training site, the event must pause until RWM asset returns. Per NGB RWM Memorandum and guidance letter, when 101-250 personnel are on site and EMTs are being used for Basic Life Support without medical control authority on scene, 4 EMTs, or greater level trained providers, with two ambulances are required. The suggested method to provide RWM care is to contract or coordinate a MOU/MOA with a civilian agency to provide both the onsite and transport capability. The agency contracted will have to demonstrate their capability of providing Advanced Life Support Capability and provide enough crew to cover the exercise event so exercise play is not disrupted in the event of a transport. 911 systems that can respond within 15 minutes from receiving a call can be considered; however, this should not be an option in lieu of an on-scene ambulance. The goal is to have a minimum of one ambulance on site at all times due to the training conducted.
5.6.1.2 Scope: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary, except as specified in Part 3 as Government Furnished, to perform Ambulance Services, as defined in this PWS.

The safety and security of participants, supporting role players and military members at the exercise event is of the utmost importance and the use of any substance that could be harmful to any of the above mentioned is strictly prohibited.
