TZJC Operation Stormstep

ZAZZU

TZJC elements gathered for cold weather equipment tests, patrol movement drills, and signals run-throughs with K9 training support in a foothills peak ascent in a pre-dawn granite-step trail environment.

Two team elements left the departure point and moved from dense brush to hilltop along designated rally points. A forward scout element located and identified light source contacts. Contacts were tracked as they moved rapidly through the operation area.

“ Watch the light and be ready to flash. ”

Junior Corps team members broke into separate signals elements to conduct coded light signals reception and relay. As dawn broke, the TZJC returned back to the departure point and declared the operation in honor of a new TZ member designated WEW. Go Teame!

ROBOT ARM ASSEMBLY: Zazzu Junior Corps practiced following detailed step by step instructions to assemble a working robotic arm from prefabricated parts.
Keywords: - Robots - - DIY - - -
The robot arm features four points of articulation. It is electrically powered by an on-board battery connected by Junior Corps members following simple wiring diagrams. Fundamental machine principles such as screws, levers, fulcrums, and powered motion are practically demonstrated by the rotating, lifting, and grasping robotic arm.

FISH FARMERS: A visit to a fish hatchery allows TZ JC members to inspect a hatchery facility and answer questions to fish and game officials.
Keywords: - Nature - - Public Policy - - Fish -
Over 200 thousand fish per year are raised and released into rivers, streams and lakes from this facility. Teame members were taken through the entire process, learning interesting facts at each step along the way. The process of liquid water oxygenation and mobile high population transport methods were particular subjects of focus during question and answer sessions.

TZ SWARM ATTACK: Swarm intelligence is the collective behaviour of decentralized, self-organized systems, natural or artificial.
Keywords: - Drones - - Flying - - Mindset - - Readiness - - Swarm -
When Teame Zazzu arial operations come under a drone swarming attack, flight crews respond to repel the attack and out-maneuver the swarm.

TZ Junior Corps playtime with ROV.4 and ROV.5!
Keywords: - -
TZJC members played tag and capture the flag, as well as practicing giving commands and interactions in a human/ROV free-play environment. Compressed-air launched projectiles were fired to compare accuracy against ROV.5 MLRS modules. Practice moving around, forming up, sharing duties, and safely handling ROV units were important skills to practice TZJC focus on safety, adventure, science and technology learning was a key aspect.
