On Wednesday, 17 June, the Virginia Defense Force’s (VDF) Mobile Communications Platform (MCP) of the 3rd Regiment stationed at the Cherry-Beasley Readiness Center, Winchester, Virginia successfully made its inaugural contact with the SHAred RESources (SHARES) High Frequency (HF) Radio Network. The SHARES HF Radio Network, administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, provides an additional means for Federal, State, tribal, local, and non-governmental organizations with an emergency management mission to transmit critical messages to coordinate operations even when traditional means of communicating via landlines and cellphones are degraded or destroyed.
