In the event of a submarine incident the ROV operations team are likely to be the first on site as part of the intervention effort, tasked with providing life support to the stricken submarine and preparing for the rescue. JFD's ROV operations training include:

• Manipulator operations training  
• Delivery of Emergency Life Support Stores via podposting
• Training in debris removal
• Training in undertaking surveys of the seabed and environment surrounding a stricken submarine

Keeping a vehicle or equipment in service and well-maintained is a critical component in any operation. The job of the maintainer is to ensure the systems are ready for operation when needed. By working alongside JFD's maintainers, the skills, foresight and best-practice operations are learnt by the trainee maintainer.
