USJFCOM gears up for Noble Resolve

Working closely with U.S. Northern Command to support its mission of homeland defense, U.S. Joint Forces Command will soon begin the Noble Resolve experimentation series which will examine ways to enhance homeland defense and improve military support to civil authorities in advance of and following natural and man-made disasters.

SUFFOLK, Va. - March 30, 2007) -U.S. Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) will bring together several partners to take a sharp look at homeland defense and relationships at various levels of government as it begins its first Noble Resolve experiment here April 23.

Noble Resolve is a USJFCOM-sponsored experimentation campaign in support of U.S. Northern Command's (NORTHCOM) efforts to enhance homeland defense and improve military support to civil authorities in advance of and following natural and man-made disasters.

USJFCOM will partner not only with major federal organizations like the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and NORTHCOM, but also with state-level organizations like the commonwealth of Virginia and, in a later phase, the state of Oregon.

The experimentation series, managed by USJFCOM's Joint Innovation and Experimentation Directorate (J9) here, will develop solutions for agencies and organizations by providing the means to deter, prevent, and defeat threats and aggression aimed at the U.S., its territories, and interests. It will also examine ways to provide improved defense support to civil authorities and build upon global partnerships.

Navy Capt. John M. Kersh, Jr., who heads J9's Joint Context and Homeland Defense Department, said the command established Noble Resolve to answer questions raised during the USJFCOM/U.S. Army Unified Quest 2006 wargame, which explored a DHS scenario for an unaccounted-for, "loose," ten kiloton nuclear weapon

I don't know what this is about just that they are looking at a drill on enacting Marshall Law and how 2 million people will react to it...:nuke:


The US Marines are also running “Emerald Express 07” in Virginia on April 24 as part of their Urban Warrior 07 drill package.

It is important to note the “Nobel Resolve” drills are dominated by NORTHCOM, the branch of “homeland defense” based in Colorado and responsible for shutting down the United States under martial law, as well as ushering in the merger of the US, Canada, and Mexico via the SPP.

Meanwhile the J9 Directorate, formulates various terror scenarios and uses advanced computer modeling to run drills and predict human reactions; Recent articles highlight how they are using virtual environments to create and manage realistic war scenarios with millions of “people.”

1. Thanks for the heads up.

Last time the services all ran drills at the same time something big happened on the east coast, but I don't remember when that was...

The news for Bush is getting bad enough now that it may be time to start buying puts on stocks that would be negatively affected if something were to happen that nobody could expect.
