DDS will improve humanitarian training

The DDS will expand training in humanitarian relief and disaster recovery after a request from the UNP to improve capabilities in these areas. One of the monthly exercises will be reconfigured to train in these areas (perhaps being held as early as November).

The exercise will integrate DDS forces including amphibious assets with personnel and equipment from the UNP's Rescue Recovery Team (UNP-RRT). The RRT is a new organisation set up following the ABBO-Bolitic War to assist civilians affected by the aftermath of military attacks and other disasters.
