Event
Republican National Convention in New York City, August 2004.

Members Involved
A full OH-5 team.

Activity History
The team was put on alert several weeks in advance of the Republican National Convention.  DMAT OH-5 departed by bus from Dayton to respond as part of the designated National Special Security Event. This deployment was special for us in that it was first OH-5 deployment of a full team. The deployment consisted of a week of specialized training and drills in the New York metropolitan area.

For the teams present, it was a week of meetings, training and mobilization drills.
