Emergency Response Force 1

Emergency Response Force 1 is an all-hazards disaster response unit based out of Sector 2. The unit is a joint unit primarily supported by Central Command, United Security Operations, and Communications and Data. It was created to consolidate all emergency and disaster response-tasked units assigned to Sector 2, into one single overarching unit and chain of command. The unit is setup similar to a Task Force and is divided into four Detachments, each focusing on a functional area of operations. The unit was designed to be modular, meaning it prescribes to a flexible operational structure and personnel receive a great deal of cross-training to allow them to fulfill multiple roles as needed.

Service Dress Uniform Class A

Service Dress Uniform Class B

Responder Garrison Uniform Class C

Responder Utility Uniform Class C
