Southern Deployment
TXSG Southern Deployment
Our southern deployment is an annual joint military and civil humanitarian medical mission that takes place along the Texas-Mexico border. The purpose of this collaborative effort is to conduct Medical-Innovative Readiness Training exercises while simultaneously providing free medical services to residents across the Rio Grande Valley.
Important Deployment Notice
Beginning in 2008, headquarters requires that all Medical Brigade personnel must complete Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Emergency Management Institute (EMI) Independent Study Program (ISP) course courses 100, 200, 700, and 800 to be eligible to participate in the southern deployment. Personnel will be required to furnish an official FEMA EMI ISP transcript (not the Student Record).
There is no cost in completing these courses.
(Many of you may have already taken these courses as part of your MEMS qualification.)
The required course titles are:
- IS-100 Introduction to Incident Command System
- IS-200 Basic Incident Command System
- IS-700 National Incident Management System (NIMS), An Introduction
- IS-800 National Response Plan (NRP), An Introduction
