Coast Guard Auxiliary Training exercise on Lake Conroe.
By: Gene Winchester
Coast Guard Auxiliary members from all across the Houston/Galveston area showed up early Saturday morning on August 28 at Lake Conroe to take place in rigorous training exercises with the Coast Guard called "Operation Red Fish." These training exercises were simulations of search and rescue operations as well as a helicopter extraction from the water. While the MythBusters on TV have "Buster", the crash-test dummy to take the fall in their experiments, the Coast Guard Auxiliary has "Oscar." Oscar is used as a training dummy and fills with water to simulate the weight of a typical human. A boat took Oscar out and dumped him overboard in an undisclosed area of the lake and then fixed wing aircraft circled the lake to find him. Once a plane spotted the victim, radio contact to boats on the water relayed the location for the rescue. It sounds very straight forward, but there are many people doing several tasks well to make this successful.
Once Oscar was recovered from the search and rescue, he was again placed overboard for the helicopter rescue. The Coast Guard brought up their HH-65C Dolphin helicopter, stationed at Ellington Field for this event. During this phase of the training the helicopter spotted the victim with the help of the crews aboard watercraft, some using signaling mirrors. Then it hovered in close and released a diver into the water. The victim was placed in a lowered basket and hauled aboard the chopper then the swimmer was picked up. Again, watching this from a distance looks almost routine, but seeing everything that has to go absolutely perfectly for the rescue to be successful is amazing.
The Coast Guard Auxiliary is in place to promote safety on the water and working as a force multiplier for the Coast Guard.
These individuals with the Coast Guard Auxiliary are volunteers that give their time and effort to make a difference. While they are sometimes motivated by different things to join, it's important to know that they are all motivated.
