DEM Joint Training

Typically, at least once a year the URT conducts a joint

training exercise with the Department of Environmental

Management (DEM). The joint training consisted of DEM

taking the team on one of their patrol boats to conduct a

deep-water dive in Narragansett Bay. The joint training

exercises provide a great benefit to the URT as it allows

not only for the team to practice deep water dive drills in

the open ocean, but also allowed for the team to communicate with DEM officers to

learn their policies and procedures in the event the team is requested by DEM in the

future.
