The 2026 Golden Eagle Exercise Series explored local capacity to respond to unplanned incidents during large special events. The series included local tabletop exercises, a regional Joint Information System workshop, and a regional functional / full-scale exercise. It brought opportunities to collaborate and coordinate between jurisdictions and agencies throughout the Bay Area. In the culminating regional exercise, participants practiced EOC activation and operations, public information, alternative communications, resource requests, regional common operating picture (COP), resource allocation, alert and warning components, and critical transportation coordination.

The Bay Area UASI conducted eight days of Full-Scale Active Attacker Exercises to enhance regional preparedness. These drills brought together law enforcement, fire services, emergency medical services, and dispatch personnel to strengthen their coordinated response to high-impact incidents.

Held across five locations, the exercises engaged 664 first responders in practicing core capabilities, including Operational Coordination, Operational Communications, Situational Assessment, On-Scene Security, and Rescue Task Force deployment. Each scenario simulated an active threat, requiring law enforcement to secure the scene, mitigate further harm, and activate multi-disciplinary rescue operations. As a result, Bay Area UASI Region first responders are more prepared and ready to keep us safe.
