Noble Resolve is a U.S. Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) experimentation campaign plan to enhance homeland defense and improve military support to civil authorities in advance of and following natural and man-made disasters.
The Noble Resolve campaign will:
• develop solutions for U.S. agencies and organizations by providing the means to deter, prevent, and defeat threats and aggression aimed at the U.S., its territories, and interests;...
Air Force Col. Gene Taylor, the USJFCOM Noble Resolve lead, explained each of the scenarios.
"The piece about population movement with FEMA will be a microcosm spurred by natural disaster to allow them to look at how they would deal with large population movement," he said. "There will be an earthquake in order to stimulate our FEMA region 3 partners in Indiana and some of the associated responders to a defense support civil authorities' role.
"We'll have some simultaneous scenarios going on to include an MDA- type threat to both the east and west coast to simulate particular fusion centers there to drive the information sharing that we want to measure at the end of year event."
Davenport said during a national crisis, the biggest challenge is sharing information and coordinating procedures amongst all of the civil authorities. The two Noble Resolve experiments in 2007 built a foundation and established many of the partnerships and information-sharing and coordination procedures that need to be in place in order to prepare for future crisis. Noble Resolve 08 will benefit from this foundation.
"We were successful in establishing many of those partnerships, establishing some of those procedures, evaluating some tools that can be put into place and evaluating some of the command and control structures between the state, federal, local and DoD organizations," he said." Much of that work will carry into the future efforts and so there are similarities in the themes from last year to what we're doing this year, but we're advancing those capabilities and those experiments for this year."
This year, instead of having two main experimentation events like last year, there will be a number of workshops and limited objective experiments throughout the year focused on specific objectives and research questions. These will culminate into one major event in late July.
If it needs to be moved or closed then by all means.

Awareness of the project. Military speculation, whatever you want.

Gulf of Tonkin was a combination of things, factual event (as believed by those directly involved) and an event used by politics to further their own goals. 11 September 2001, your prerogative, I have no desire to convince anyone of what's true with regard to that event.

If you have any HONOR it is your DUTY to know what you are talking about before you randomly spout nonsense. Are you aware that the surviving pilot ordered to "return fire " on the NV "PT boats" has publicly stated that there was nothing there but clear blue ocean? His name is Admiral James Stockdale. I think I'll trust the statements of him, since he was there and has earned a high rank for his meritorius service to our COUNTRY. Who the F are you? A cadet?
How about another "nobody" named former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara who is on recently released whitehouse tapes discussing the staged GOT "attack" with LBJ, openly pondering if it will be sufficient to convince the american public and hence Congress to declare war without any U.S. casualties, or if another event with some dead U.S. servicemen "will be needed" to sway public opinion to start an illegal war?
McNamara himself alludes to this in his recent book in a "If I did it" manner justifying the lie to the american people as being necessary. 5,000,000 VietNam veterans, 60,000 of whom were KILLED in this illegal war and over 2 million murdered VietNamese people might disagree with a "cadets" musings about something he obviously knows NOTHING about.

Done deal. I don't understand how after that why we shouldn't be looking for operations taking place in the military that may be indicators of things to come.

Who's doing an apples to apples comparison? If this administration wasn't such a friggin evidence manipulator, constitution eraser, and was really trustworthy, I'd love nothing more than to wash my hands of it and not come at it from this angle. But suffice it to say I am extremely suspicious of anything they do. And it's not because of the military, it's because of the way their leaders are using them. I fully trust that military will execute orders given. No question of that.
I see I must of hit some sore spots. Christ, we haven't even discussed the actual plan yet, and instead are off politicizing. But I am sorry, that plan, while at face value can seem like a great thing to do to coordinate authorities, has all the makings imo of what the NWO is about. Too bad you don't share the same opinion.

Well being in the Military, and seeing countless excercises go on, I just don't get startled that they might want to have some training for that sort of event. I think we can agree that the handling of Katrina's after effects could've been significantly better. Would you prefer that we not train, and then play it by ear whenever things come up?
(my emphasis)
Noble Resolve will use intricate computer-based models and long distance virtual connections to provide the environment for participants to make decisions and work together as they would in case of a real crisis. By using the models, no troops or emergency personnel will actually have to deploy or respond to events, saving money and time.

"The major efforts that we're focused on are maritime domain awareness. We're also looking at improving our detection, identification, and tracking of weapons of mass destruction. [We'll look at] mass population movement from a national disaster or other challenge and the long-term sustainment of a reaction for us for a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or explosive event," he said.
