Volunteer disaster corps seeks leaders for Western North Carolina

The North Carolina Emergency Reserves (NCER) is seeking leaders for the area of the 2nd Brigade, which encompasses the western half of the state.

NCER is a statewide volunteer disaster-response organization.

Initially, NCER wants to identify qualified candidates for the position of regimental commanders. Ideal candidates should have extensive experience in either the military or public safety fields, good organizational skills, and a desire to serve the people of North Carolina in time of disaster.

Also being sought are unit commanders for battalion-sized units, which would cover a one or two county area within the regiment. The organization is headquartered in Fayetteville, near Fort Bragg, and the Western (2nd) Brigade currently has an active 1st Battalion in the 55th RGT, commanded by LTC Mike Hancock.

NCER currently has the state divided into areas of two brigades, which encompass a total of seven regiments.
Members receive free training in many areas of emergency and preparedness skills, including a wide assortment of FEMA courses.

Interested individuals should visit the Web site at www.ncer.us or call (910) 717-2627 for more information.
