***PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS FOR REGISTRATION - YOU WILL NEED TO REGISTER FOR COURSES AND THE BANQUET / EXERCISE SEPARATELY***
Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas have come together to host the 2023 Red River Communications Bootcamp. We will start the week with All Hazards Communications classes, followed by a one day scenario based exercise.
If you would like to participate in all aspects of the event, there are 2 separate items that you need to register for: the course you wish to take, as well as the event / exercise / banquet registration.
**Please Note - classes will start on varying days based on the length of the class.
**Also Note - The exercise is happening at the same location as the classes, but registration for the exercise is separate from registration for the classes. You can participate in a class without participating in the exercise, or you can register for the one day only exercise. The exercise will have some special focus on dispatch functions during both normal operations and special events.**
Classes hosted will be as follows: (To register for the classes, click on the course name and you will be linked to the appropriate course registration on Preparing Texas.)
