Golden Phoenix is a multi-agency collaborative training event designed to assist local, state, tribal and federal agencies in preparing for large and often complex incident response scenarios. To further this goal, CivMil.org is proud to help sponsor Golden Phoenix '08 by providing a social networking outlet for all those interested in the training.

Common Operating Picture - Golden Phoenix - TIES - Integration

We are assembling a tabbed COP that will show Golden Phoenix events as they happen, San Diego situational awareness, world events happening in parallel to GP.  Maps, alerts, RSS, images  and other feeds will be able to be integrated, and we can absorb Common Alerting Protocol Alerts as well.  The goal will be a comprehensive view of all activities happening, along with live links to video feeds and participants websites.

FALLON, Nev. - The Predator, the unmanned aerial vehicle that keeps soldiers and airmen safe by providing remote surveillance and reconnaissance in the Global War on Terror, is also a very powerful tool outside the combat theater.

The Predator's ‘eye-in-the-sky’ capabilities make it an extremely useful tool in thousands of different non-combat situations, including natural disasters.

Users Waiting For Group Access

Some people have joined CivMil.org using email address from domains like AOL and gMail; while this is perfectly acceptable, it will slow the process of approval for group subscriptions.    The proces typically takes less than 24 hours, but due to the increasing interest in some of the groups on the site it will require follow-up if we do not recognize your username and email.
