The summer of 2012 is fast approaching. As it inches closer, we will
start to see a major increase in US and foreign troop movements as well
as military equipment movements throughout the CONUS (Continental United
States). ~ Shepard Ambellas – Alex Thomas – related article

While many of the upcoming sightings may well be normal operations as
the military does like to do training in the summer, the fact is that
parts of our own military, along with foreign and UN troops, are
actively planning to take on the American people.

National Level Exercise drills have been in effect for years now and
have been covered by many alternative news sources, including The Intel Hub through our yearly Operation Overwatch which we use to gain intel and tips from the public in order to relay them to our readers.

Over the years many people have worried about the numerous National
Level Preparedness drills and, in most cases, for good reason.

In 2011, the NLE focused around an earthquake on the New Madrid Fault
Zone and the year before resulted in 70 thousand people being evacuated
from a Texas city after a fertilizer fire.

Interestingly enough, this years FEMA national preparedness drill is
focusing on the threat of a major cyber attack on America’s
infrastructure.

The last year has seen dozens of cyber attacks on government websites
as well as government propagandists pushing the fear of a cyber attack
on the populace. Now we have the Department of Homeland Security making
cyber security the main component of their annual preparedness drill.

Although only a small amount of information has been released on
NLE2012, we can see from FEMA’s own website what it primary consists of.

FEMA’s website released the following PDF;

National Level Exercise (NLE) 2012Continental

National Level Exercise (NLE) 2012 is part of a series of
congressionally mandated preparedness exercises designed to educate and
prepare participants for potential catastrophic events.

The NLE 2012 process will examine the nation’s ability to
coordinate and implement prevention, preparedness, response and recovery
plans and capabilities pertaining to a significant cyber event or a
series of events.

NLE 2012 will examine national response plans and procedures,
including the National Response Framework (NRF), NRF Cyber Incident
Annex, Interim National Cyber Incident Response Plan (NCIRP) and the
International Strategy for Cyberspace.

Unique to NLE 2012 will be an emphasis on the shared
responsibility among all levels of government, the private sector and
the international community to secure cyberspace and respond together to
a significant cyber incident.

Obsidian Analysisthe company heading up NLE12 for the private sector, states on their website:

NLE 2012 will comprise four major exercises, including a
capstone event. These exercises will share common scenario elements,
planning efforts and governance structure.

Participation in each exercise will be determined respectively, but
the NLE 2012 process includes the Executive Office of the President;
federal, state, local, tribal and territorial department and agency
officials and emergency operations elements, nongovernmental and private
sector organizations and international partners. These four major
exercises include:

Information Exchange: This discussion-based exercise
is designed to evaluate the sharing of cyber related information among
the intelligence community, law enforcement, federal, state, tribal and
local governments, the private sector and international partners, as
appropriate

Cyber Incident Management/Virtual Effects: This
exercise will examine the coordination and communication processes
between public and private stakeholders in response to a significant
cyber incident. This will include examining challenges related to
managing a cyber event with national security implications.

NLE Capstone/Cyber Physical Effects: This functional
exercise will examine challenges related to managing a cyber event with
physical consequences and national security implications. This will
include addressing cyber and physical interdependencies and impacts
while coordinating a Whole Community level cyber and physical response.

Continuity Exercise/Eagle Horizon: This
operations-based exercise will evaluate the continuity capability of
federal departments and agencies. A component will include a nationwide
exercise examining communications capability of the homeland security
enterprise under conditions in which critical systems have been degraded
or lost.

In addition to the major exercises, the NLE 2012 process will include
senior level exercises, building-block events (i.e., seminars, tabletop
exercises, and training) and routine exercise planning conferences.

As more information is released on these upcoming national
preparedness drills, we will bring it to our readers
attention via IntelHub.
