HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES AT OPERATION MOUNTAIN VICTORY III

    Operation Mountain Victory will take place at an active military installation.  As such there are a few items to mention regarding safety.

1. There will be various types of ordinance on the ground.  These can include loose and belted ammo and flares.  Do not pick anything up and do not take anything as a souvenir.  Consider everything to be live.
2. Be careful where you walk and watch out for coils of abandoned barbed, razor wire and possibly snakes.  These can ruin your day if you are not careful.
3. Watch out where you sit since there are many types of cactus in the area.  If not, you may have to ask you buddy to pull spines out of your butt.  : 0
4. Ft Carson is at 6000 ft elevation and those coming from near sea level should get in shape before the event to minimize the effects of altitude.  
5. Make sure you carry an ample supply of water as the weather can be hot and you dehydrate faster due to the low humidity and elevation.  
6. Everyone should pack a personal medical kit for minor cuts, etc.  Include some mole skin if you have issues with new footwear.  Better safe than sorry.
7. This event may include various armored vehicles operating in proximity to ground troops.  Keep your eyes and ears open and give them a wide birth.  Remember the driver’s vision out of an armored vehicle is restricted.  Don’t get into his blind spot.
8. We will be using an urban warfare facility with building and streets.  Be aware of your surroundings and use caution around corners and at windows and doors.  Quick reflexive actions when you unexpectedly meet someone can result in injury.  Keep your finger off the trigger until you can safely assess the situation.  Remember and follow the safety rules.
9. Edged weapons are not to be used in action.  Leave them in their scabbard.  Better yet, leave them home if you don’t need them
10. All vehicle drivers are strongly encouraged to include a medical kit and water with their vehicle.  
11. Hearing protection is strongly recommended and a necessity in the buildings where the sound is multiplied.  Use extra caution in and around buildings.

The CMHG is please to announce the creation of a new unit, 3. Ersatzgruppe. 

This unit will focus on the Deutsches Heer branch of the Wehrmacht taking inspiration from the 11th, 16th, and 21st Panzer Divisions. This unit is a hardcore group, which compliments their hardcore allied counterparts, the 9th ID.

For more information, please contact sstextilwerk@lycos.com or on the unit Facebook page.

The 3. Ersatzgruppe webpage will be launched within the week.

The CMHG website as well as the 9th ID site will be undergoing maintenance and receiving updates over the course of the next few days. Some features and pages may or may not be available while these changes are being implemented. Thank you for your patience.

Thanks again to everyone who came out to OMV II for such a fantastic event, we hope to see you all again soon!

Due to overwhelming interest in Operation Mountain Victory II this year, we have decided to extend registration for the event until Saturday, August 29th!

For those of you who are still sitting on the fence, or were late to our first wave of registration, this is your chance to come to one of the biggest reenacting events of the year!

Due to the nature of our preparations, anyone who is sending in a late registration will not be able to take part in our offered meal plan because our deadline for a headcount has already passed.

Late registrations will also have to include late registration fee of $5.

If there are any questions or concerns about late registration, please email admin@cmhg.net

We look forward to seeing you all out in September! 

If you are sending in your registration via e-form, please read these instructions below.

Right click the download E-Form link on the main OMV II or OMV II FAQ page, and click save as. Once you have a copy of the form downloaded onto your computer, you can then fill it out and attach it to your email as normal. If you try to fill out the form by just clicking the link, rather than right clicking and using save-as, it will not save your info that you filled out. And we will receive a blank form. Thank you!
