  2. the recruiting and training of such unit personnel needed to meet the needs and expectations of the sponsoring (governing) State, Region or Local Area agency, department or organization;
  3. furthering the goals and the mission of the ACS or RACES through meetings, public appearances, conferences, written and radio communications;

Such services typically include the provision of ACS or RACES personnel and resources to support any mutual aid requirements;
