The Spring 2026 Statewide AUXCOMM exercise was held on May 2. It was a drill focused primarily on Winlink Field Situation Reports and MI CIMS. A few facts about the exercise:
- Over 200 volunteers and agency personnel participated, including 36 from outside the AUXCOMM and ARES community.
- 30 of the volunteers were new or returning after an absence of 3 or more years.
- 22 counties participated.
- 6 out of 7 districts were represented in reporting.
Feedback from the exercise was generally positive. As is the goal of any exercise, a number of improvement opportunities were identified locally. The state after action report is being drafted and will be posted separately when it’s available.
Scores have been tabulated based on reports submitted, and the top counties are:
- Macomb County in 1st place
- Roscommon County in 2nd place
- Chippewa and Mackinac Counties in 3rd place
