(FFN Editors note: These same "Vigilant Guardian" drills were being run on 9-11 in order to deplete the NORAD air defenses and set up fake hijackings. More coming soon on these drills in August...)

Media Invited to Embed with Canadian Army

Members of the broadcast and print media are being invited to embed with the Canadian Army, and to experience a "battle rhythm" of combat-related activities and exercises.

Some 2,500 soldiers from across Ontario will be involved in what's called a "practise Full-Spectrum Operation" during EXERCISE VIGILANT GUARDIAN '06, to be held in Petawawa, ON from Saturday, August 19 to Sunday, August 27.

The exercise is described as a chance for reporters and news crews to experience the embedding process and to get an inside look at life in a Forward Operating Base; living with, patrolling with, and reporting on Canadian soldiers in an operation-like setting.

Opportunities include: cordon-and-search operations, presence patrolling, raids and vehicle checkpoints. As well, there will be opportunities to cover artillery live-fire and armoured reconnaissance.

Embedding media can sign up for as long as they want, up to the duration of the Exercise.

There will be high-speed Internet connections available at an Exercise Public Information Centre to assist media in sending/filing their stories from Petawawa; media are advised to bring their own laptop computers for composing stories.

For embeds, the ideal is to plan for a two-and-a-half day embed, with a first half-day for orientation prior embedding on the first evening. The second day reporters would integrate with soldiers as the troops ready themselves in a planning and preparation cycle. Reporters are given insight into battle procedure, and will accompany the soldiers on assignment the third day.

The exercise will involve all 40 of the Reserve units of Land Force Central Area (LFCA), the Army command in Ontario. Air Force, Communication, and Field Ambulance Reservists will also deploy to support the exercise.

Full-spectrum operations can include simultaneous combination of humanitarian assistance, stabilization and/or peace support operations, generally set within the context of medium-intensity fighting, exercise spokepeople describe. As the culmination of a year of training, Vigilant Guardian '06 is designed to demonstrate the skills and cohesion of the units involved and will simulate as closely as possible actual overseas operations.

A suggested packing list of personal gear and clothing for media is provided to the media, with notes on clothing to be worn and suggested items for a small knapsack.

Packing List for Embedded Media – based on a 48-72 hour embed:

(FFN Editor's note: This is a major nuclear warfare drill and could be used to bootleg an attack on Iran. This information was taken from the following MUST READ white paper from STRATCOM, which describes in depth their plans for nuclear war, space war, and Cheney's CONPLAN 8022 to be used against Iran following a terror provocation: Click here to read the full report.

Global Strike: A Chronology

24 October – 8 November 2006: STRATCOM sponsored Global Strike exercise Global Lightning 07 scheduled.

October 2006 (early FY 2007): The Enhanced Effectiveness (E2) Demonstration Program was scheduled to culminate in a Trident II flight test and provide final demonstration assessment report and recommended transition plan to the Navy and STRATCOM for increasing the accuracy of the W76/Mk4 to GPS-like accuracy. Congress cut funding for E2 in 2004, but the Navy and Lockheed Martin continued the program with other funding.

(FFN Editor's note: Here is more on Global Lighting. This was how they ran last year's exercise)

(from William Arkin 2005- http://omega.twoday.net/stories/1108990/)

Global Lightning practices the American nuclear retaliation after Vigilant Shield. This year's is the second of an annual exercise series allowing the Omaha-based command to flex bigger muscles assigned by President Bush. In 2003, the President assigned STRATCOM overarching responsibility for missile defenses, "strategic" information warfare in support of national operations, and global strike missions -- nuclear and conventional.

Global Lightning exercises, according to STRATCOM documents, practices "nuclear combat readiness, proficiency and training" and "provides a bridging exercise between nuclear and non-nuclear forces." In other words, it practices escalation from conventional to nuclear war and implementation of the Bush administration's new global strike war plan, named CONPLAN 8022.

Operation Vigilant Shield, year's largest terror drill, to take place December 4-14

(FFN: We now have the dates of the biggest CENTCOM drill of the year, Vigilant Shield, which simulates a nuclear strike from North Korea and the ensuing martial law shutdown. These link to the Global Lightning drills that we published before.)

From William Arkin's "Early Warning "Washington Post blog: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/earlywarning/2005/10/nuclear_war_in_alabama.html

Though Vigilant Shield is officially a "homeland security" exercise, the focus is military and federal government "consequence management" after spectacular terrorist and North Korea nuclear strikes, and the resulting, not kidding, global nuclear war....

Scratch the surface of Vigilant Shield and it's clear that fighting the war on terrorism domestically is only fun when it is part of the senior varsity of administration interest: global nuclear war. In addition to the North Korean missile attack, as best I can piece together, the Vigilant Shield scenario includes the administration and Rumsfeld favorite ballistic missile defenses (trying to) shoot down incoming missiles, implementation of continuity of operations plans and evacuation to alternative command posts, mobilization of the 18-wheeler mobile command center to test emergency Presidential communications, the intercept of Soviet-like long-range bombers entering U.S. and Canadian airspace, and military "consequence management" after missiles land on Washington. There are a few modern day twists -- terrorist attacks, cyber warfare or what the military calls "information operations."

Global Lightning practices the American nuclear retaliation after Vigilant Shield. This year's is the second of an annual exercise series allowing the Omaha-based command to flex bigger muscles assigned by President Bush.
