[MVMA] Did anyone else receive a message like this and who/what is ETO?

[Mark Avery]

In this case, ETO stands for Emcomm Training Organization, 
https://emcomm-training.org/ - They now do monthly training Winlink 
Thursday events in addition to special events such as this one. The FEMA 
regions are numbered on this map 
<https://emcomm-training.org/images/fema-regions_6-25-21.jpg>. Region V 
includes Ohio. The Emcomm Training Organization has tactical Winlink 
addresses for each of the regions. In this case, it's ETO-05. The 
exercises vary from the most basic to fairly advanced use of Winlink as 
might be needed during and emergency.
