Bulletin 384 described the communications vans supported by the ACS Field Teams.
Bulletin 385 described four mobile earth stations, a mobile earth station hub and VHF and UHF radio caches for law enforcement and fire response mutual aid.
This bulletin describes additional State OES rolling assets.

There are eight OES Mobile Communications Unit meeting ICS Type 2 criteria. These Incident Support Units are mounted on various truck (i.e., 2 1/2 ton box) or motor home type chassis and are often seen at fire or law enforcement unit field deployments. They have self-contained power generation capability. They do NOT have a telephone switch aboard, but are pre-wired for telephone extensions.
Five of these units are configured to support Fire and Rescue operations, and are pre-positioned with Fire agencies in four of the six Mutual Aid Regions. Typical Fire radio complement (80 Channel Midland Syntech I radios):
1 VHF-Lo radio (46 MHz Fire frequencies)
2 VHF-High radios (150-174 MHz)
1 UHF radio (450-470 MHz)
1 800 MHz conventional (Non-NPSPAC) radio OES Fire Radio Network (Low/High VHF)
The remaining three units are configured for Law Enforcement incident support, and are positioned with a Sheriffs Office in three of the Mutual Aid Regions. Each of these units has space for two communications operators and office or conference activities.
Typical Law radio complement (300 Channel Midland Syntech 2 radios):
1 VHF-Lo radio (40 MHz Law frequencies)
2 VHF-High radios (150-174 MHz)
1 UHF radio (450-470 MHz)
1 UHF radio (470-490 MHz)
1 800 MHz conventional (Non-NPSPAC) radio (80 Channel Midland Syntech I radio)
1 Motorola Syntec 800 MHz NPSPAC OES California Law Enforcement Radio System (VHF Hi/UHF)
(Note: The above described radio packages are being replaced with Kenwood 690, 790, 890, VHF and UHF (w/CDF Version firmware providing 254-mode or channel and all 16 PL tones as selectable) and Motorola Syntec Astro 800 MHz NPSPAC radios.)(NPSPAC is an acronym for National Public Safety Planning Advisory Committee standard.)
It is important to keep in mind that these assets deploy as a result of requests from local City/County government or state or federal agency. OES is not a primary responder. In fact, requests for mutual aid are the fundamental basis of the deployment of these assets. A mutual aid region is a group of counties. More on the mutual aid system appears on the State OES web page. (www.oes.ca.gov)
