VDF conducts 24-hour communications exercise
Members of the Virginia Defense Force conduct a 24-hour communications exercise March 5, 2016, in Winchester, Virginia. Operating in their Mobile Communications Platform trailers, VDF members used high frequency radios as well as other systems for voice and data communications with VDF MCPs in Sandston, Lynchburg and Pulaski, as well as civilian amateur radio operators. The 24-hour exercise was designed to test the VDF's ability to conduct continuous operations in the event of incident that degrades normal communications capabilities.
