Your CA SMR MEMS Academy is searching for high energy, dedicated, and motivated soldiers to facilitate

the MEMS training of your fellow troops.

Experience in Emergency Management (LEO / Fire / EMT) is desirable but not mandatory.

Instructor skills and/or MEMS certification preferred.

Interested soldiers are encouraged to contact

Annual sgaus conference update:

The 2013 SGAUS Conference -

“National Symposium for Defense and Support of

Civil Authorities” -

Was held In Charleston, SC from 18OCT - 20OCT13.

This conference was the first of its kind - Thanks to the dedicated leadership of the SGAUS President Brigadier

General Herman Hudson, South Carolina Military Defense Force.

Our Orange County, CA based coordinating group - Success Unlimited - Contributed by coordinating the conference in addition to their support functions of fulfilling MEMS / SGUAS material orders.

They facilitated numerous breakout sessions including (but not limited to) subjects such as:

• Localized Emergency Management

• ICS for Senior Officials

• Mission Assurance in Managing Projects

• Behavioral Health and First Responders

• Critical Infrastructure Management Fundamentals

They are to commended on a job well done. As always - We appreciate their support.

Key Note Speakers for the SGAUS Convention:

LTG H. Steven Blum, United States Army (Ret)

MG Robert E. Livingston South Carolina’s Adjutant General

MG James Livingston, United States Marine Corps (Ret) Medal of Honor

MG Abraham Turner, USA (Ret)

A workshop was presented which discussed the overall status of the MEMS programs throughout the United States. Consistently - Your CA SMR MEMS Academy is regarded as one of the most progressive and well maintained programs in the MEMS Academy system. We strive to maintain the highest quality, professional curriculum - Which adheres to both the spirit and letter of the MEMS Student Guidelines.

The Commandant of the MEMS Academy SGM Tim White, IN discussed the MEMS guidelines for 2013 and it was decided not to change any of the current FEMA and Practicum standards for 2014. SGM White also discussed his attempts to bring the US Coast Guard Auxiliary and the Civil Air Patrol into the MEMS Academy Training Program throughout the state of Indiana. This effort is also being considered for California.

mems academy - Current Certifications:

The following contains the names of those dedicated soldiers who invested the required time and energy to improve their understanding of Emergency Management Response.

Soldiers listed have followed guidelines as delineated per the MEMS Academy Student Guidelines, and have achieved the highly sought after status of being a certified specialist in the field of emergency management response.

The primary duties of the Academy State Directors (ASD) for the MEMS Academy are to:

• Coordinate and provide all logistical support for the MEMS program.

• Process all MEMS applications, FEMA courses, Table-Top exercises, and Practicum’s.

• Instruct and proctor all soldiers during multiple live face-to-face training modules.

• Approve awards of MEMS credentials and issue MEMS certificates/Flashes for Basic, Senior and Master level MEMS upon completion.

If your name does not appear on this list and you have a certified document obtained through the California State Director of the MEMS Academy, or you have earned a higher level than one listed,

please contact me at: submarine582@verizon.net

You have my personal assurance your information will be correct on both the California State list of certified MEMS students and at the MEMS Academy database for the State Guard Association of the United States.

On behalf of the entire MEMS Academy Training Team, I want to thank each of those dedicated soldiers who believed they would become a greater asset to the California State Military Reserves and to their community, by taking and completing this course of study.
