TZ Operation Ice Lake

ZAZZU

Cold water acclimation exercises are an important part of water operations for Mountain Division and K9 TZ operators. That's why Teame members take time to get out and about in glacier-cold water and practice staying out of the water.

Sudden immersion in cold water can cause physiological reactions that can overcome mental focus and substantially increase the risk of drowning. Working with K9 units in near-freezing conditions means planning and taking deliberative action.

“ The time to practice is when it's not an emergency. ”

The best time to practice is when you can relax and enjoy a calm paddle between the floating ice, high in an alpine forest.

Go Teame!

DEPARTMENTS

All activities conducted by Teame Zazzu are operated under officially designated TZ Departments, each of which performs authorized coordinated action in conjunction with interdepartmental support units as determined by mission profiles, research orders, committee requests, maintenance requirements, unit traditions, and in accordance with lawful orders issued by properly designated legal authorities, training interfaces and partner agencies

Features

TZMP ASYMMETRICAL DRONE OPERATIONS: TZMP operators utilize reflective transmissions to piggyback drone signals for consolidated control of multiple air and land drones.
Keywords: - Drones - - - - Rov5 - - Rovers - - Signals -
By tasking the Kazi aerial drone via electro-optical object recognition to the ground ROV5 the drone pilot was able to utilize the rover's PWM radio signal operating at 2.4 GHZ to control both drone assets simultaneously.

SAILS AWAY: Teame members conduct cruising coastal ocean sailing and inshore sailing on small and medium sailing craft.
Keywords: - Aquanautics - - - - Swimming - - Sailing -
Nomenclature and concepts are first studied by reading and discussion in a class setting. Basic sailing skills are practiced in a small personal sailboat. As skills improve, the size of vessel may increase. Aquanautics skills and rescue swimming experience is a prerequisite for TZ sailors.

HIGH AND MIGHTY HELICOPTERS: Teame members train and drill for mission profiles including casualty medical evacuation, personnel transport, search and rescue, cargo lift, arial deployment, ground mission support, recon scouting, and forward air control.
Keywords: - Readiness - - Flying - - Training - - High n Mighties -
Deployment speed, flight plan flexibility, maintenance and crew costs, and sensor package options make helicopters a key instrument for mission planning and situational response, and require Pathfinder training, pilot training, air medical training, and skydive experience.

HI LINE CONVOY: World-class vehicles in a close convoy maneuver exercise with flanking motorcycle elements
Keywords: - Fashion - - Exercises - - Autonomous Vehicles -
Safety and road situational awareness were key factors in this patrol. Teame members practiced good radio communication and defensive driving techniques.

DEEP END DOGS: It's a big training day for all eligible K9 trainees when they move from shallow water to immersion training.
Keywords: - K9 - - Training - - -
After familiarization exercises in rivers, streams, and shallow pools, the K9 units are moved to indoor TZK9 deep pool facilities and don their lifejackets. It's important that trainers avoid causing anxiety or traumatic reactions while the animals take to the water and make their first swim.
