Subelement T2, OPERATING PROCEDURES· Group T2C
Which of the following requires certification by a civil defense agency?
- A.ARES
- B.RACES (correct answer)
- C.MARS
- D.SKYWARN
WhyRACES is the emergency communications activity that requires certification by a civil defense agency. RACES, unlike the other emergency communications programs listed, specifically requires its participants to be certified as currently enrolled by a civil defense agency before they can operate under it, a formal requirement tied directly into §97.407(a) covered back in T1A10, answer B. ARES (A), MARS (C), and SKYWARN (D) are all real volunteer communications organizations, but none of them require this specific civil-defense certification to participate.
