"This week and into next, NorthCom and NORAD are conducting a joint exercise called “Vigilant Shield ’09. The focus will be on “homeland
defense and civil support,” a NorthCom press release states. From November 12-18, it will be testing a “synchronized response of federal, state,
local and international partners in preparation for homeland defense, homeland security, and civil support missions in the United States and
abroad.”
"Vigilant Shield ’09 “will include scenarios to achieve exercise objectives within the maritime, aerospace, ballistic missile defense, cyber,
consequence management, strategic communications, and counter terrorism domains,” the press release states. NorthCom’s press release also says
that other participants in the exercise include the U.S. Strategic Command’s “Global Lightning 09,” which is a plan to use nuclear weapons in a
surprise attack."
This is some terrifying stuff.
