DANEX 06:
There is hectic activity on the beach. British and Danish helicopters are flying over the area in large circles and fast rubber dinghies are going back and forth to land crew members and equipment.

The local authoriries in North Vendia are in desperate need of help and luckily the naval force is in the area. They now have to co-oiperate with the police and the Emergency Management Agency to stop the disaster.

The water was splashing around the armed crew members, who were  the first to jump ashore at Jerup Strand.

The security force was sitting in the front of the four large rubber dinghies which were sent ashore from the anchored ships, packed with equipment.

A Forward Command Element was established at the beach where the operation is coordinated and shortly thereafter the Danish Emergancy Management Agency from Northern Jutland and the Army’s 5. Logistic Battalion with their field hospotal.

They have been aboard HDMS ESBERN SNARE with all their vehicles and when they were landed at Naval Base Frederikshavn this morning, they quickly drove to the Forward Command Element at the beach.

The Emergency Management Agency immediately drove off to the city of Hvims which is severely affected wtih several fires, collapsed buildings and many wounded and people in panic.

Here the operational commander must try to get an overview of the situation, so that the fire can be extinguished and the wounded can be taken to the field hospital.
