Soldiers from 911th U.S. Army Technical Rescue Engineer Company and Marines from Chemical Biological Incident Response Force's Technical Rescue Platoon work to stabilize a trench before attempting to enter and extract two “victims” after a simulated collapse during CBIRF's annual 72-hour technical rescue training operation at the Downey Responder Training Facility. This joint 72-hour technical rescue training operation at DRTF allowed the two units take the opportunity to train together to build a good working relationship and familiarity of each other’s capabilities and limitations. Since both units cover the National Capitol Region, in the event of a disaster, both units would work side by side.
