U.S. Army RADCON Team Participation in the 1985 Service Response Force Field Exercise (SRFX)

Abstract

The Commanding General, U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC), through AR 50-5 for Nuclear Surety, is assigned the responsibility for planning, establishing and maintaining at least one Service Response Force (SRF) capable of responding to Army nuclear weapon accidents and incidents in CONUS. During the week of 19-23 August 1985, an SRF exercise was conducted at the Savanna Army Depot, Savanna, IL. The purpose of this exercise was to provide a realistic setting wherein the SRF's capability to translate accident/incident response and assistance plans and procedures into physical actions could be practiced and evaluated. This report documents the participation of the U.S. Army RADCON Team in the 1985 SRF Exercise. It contains conclusions and suggestions for improved SRF functioning.
