3 GENERAL INFORMATION
3.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document and associated annexes is to establish a single, unified scenario
and ground truth that is scientifically plausible and maximizes the opportunity for all National
Exercise Program Capstone Exercise shareholders to perform agency-specific objectives.
3.2 National Exercise Program Capstone Exercise 2014 Overview
The Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act requires that the Administrator of the
Federal Emergency Management Agency periodically, but not less than biennially, conducts
national exercises to test and evaluate the Nations ability to detect, disrupt, and prevent
catastrophic acts of terrorism or to respond to and recover from catastrophic incidents. The
National Exercise Program Capstone Exercise 2014 will serve as the culminating event for the
2013-2014 Nation Exercise Program cycle, engaging the whole community to address all four
Principals Objectives, associated core capabilities, and exercise-specific objectives.
National Exercise Program Capstone Exercise 2014 will focus on the Nations continuity,
mitigation, emergency response, and disaster recovery capabilities. The Capstone Exercise will
link several existing National Exercise Program exercises, which are discussed below. A key
component event, Alaska Shield 2014, will provide the core framework for the Capstone
Exercise. Sponsored by the State of Alaska, Alaska Shield 2014 commemorates the 50th
anniversary of the 1964 Great Alaskan Earthquake, which resulted in significant damage and
triggered a tsunami that affected the greater Pacific Northwest. The Capstone Exercise will also
build upon several preparedness activities sponsored by other departments and agencies that are
designed to educate and prepare officials and representatives across the whole community for
complex, large-scale disasters and emergencies.
Events within the Capstone Exercise are aligned with the four Principals Objectives of the
2013-2014 National Exercise Program cycle and examine the collective ability of the Nation to
coordinate and implement risk assessments, core capabilities, and plans across four mission
areas: prevention, mitigation, response, and recovery.
National Exercise Program Capstone Exercise 2014 will involve stakeholders in emergency
management and homeland security from all levels of government, non-governmental
organizations, the private sector, and select representatives from the international community.
The Capstone Exercise will focus on the Nations ability to respond to and recover from a
catastrophic incident using the National Response Framework, National Disaster Recovery
Framework, and other applicable plans. Maximizing available support resources, the Capstone
Exercise will use pre-selected whole-community exercises that will progress from initial
response and recovery and culminate with an in-depth examination of long-term recovery.
Linking these exercises under the National Exercise Program Capstone Exercise 2014 construct
provides a single exercise environment for operational management, resource allocation, and
decision-making.

TRUSTED AGENTS ONLY TRUSTED AGENTS ONLY
3.3 Principals Objectives
1. Exchange intelligence, information, data, or knowledge to enable timely and informed
decision-making prior to and during an incident that threatens the security of the Nation.
2. Identify threats and hazards and share prompt, reliable, and actionable risk information with
the public, including actions to be taken and assistance made available during the onset of
any hazard that threatens the security of the Nation.
3. Establish and maintain a unified and coordinated operational structure and process, capable
of identifying, prioritizing, and delivering resources across all hazards and lead-federal
agency authorities, including catastrophic incidents where a Stafford Act declaration is not
likely and domestic response to foreign nations overwhelmed by disaster.
4. Establish and maintain plans, authorities, responsibilities, and coordination capabilities that
support the recovery of local communities affected by catastrophic disasters.
3.4 Capstone Exercise 2014 Objectives
1. Assess the ability of local, state, tribal, federal, and other whole community officials to
exchange intelligence and information and achieve common and accurate situational
awareness.
2. Demonstrate the ability of local, state, tribal, and federal government officials to establish
and maintain coordinated risk communication measures following a catastrophic event in the
United States.
3. Examine the ability of senior government officials to establish and promulgate initial
response activities, establish recovery priorities, and allocate critical resources to affected
communities in accordance with the National Response Framework, National Disaster
Recovery Framework, and other applicable plans and frameworks.
4. Assess the ability of federal officials to activate continuity plans, perform their respective
Primary Mission Essential Functions and Mission Essential Functions at alternate facilities,
and plan for reconstitution operations in accordance with established continuity plans and
directives.
5. Examine the National Disaster Recovery Framework and National Mitigation Framework
and assess the capability of the whole community to implement recovery strategies and
coordinate, support, and sustain long-term recovery efforts following a catastrophic event in
the United States.
3.5 Exercise Structure
National Exercise Program Capstone Exercise 2014 uses several pre-existing whole-community
exercises to maximize use of available resources. Silver Phoenix, a recovery-focused national
exercise, will be threaded through these whole-community exercises and will culminate in a
long-term recovery tabletop exercise to ensure a complete Capstone Exercise. Linked by a
unified scenario and sequence of events, the Capstone Exercise will not be a series of five
separate, unrelated exercises. This national-level exercise will be structured as a one-
exercise/one-world concept for the purpose of enabling operational and resource allocation

decisions. The multi-component approach permits greater participation across the whole
community and facilitates the examination of a wide range of policy and planning issues,
including recovery operations, long-term recovery planning, and event-driven mitigation. Figure
1 illustrates the theme of each Capstone component.

Figure 1. Component Themes
Taken together, these efforts afford National Exercise Program Capstone Exercise 2014
participants an environment to examine the four Principals Objectives, coordinate national-level
play across the selected exercises, and implement a common national-level and whole
community evaluation process. National Exercise Program component events include: Alaska
Shield 2014, Ardent Sentry 2014, Nuclear Weapon Accident Incident Exercise 2014, Eagle
Horizon 2014, and Silver Phoenix 2014. Table 1 provides a timeline for National Exercise
Program Capstone Exercise 2014.
3.5.1 Alaska Shield 2014
Type: Full-scale
Duration: Seven days
Date: Thursday, March 27, to Wednesday, April 2, 2014
Location: Alaska (multiple locations)
Focus: Alaska Shield 2014 commemorates the anniversary of the 9.2-magnitude 1964 Great
Alaskan Earthquake, and replicates the earthquakes and corresponding tsunami effects,
which resulted in significant damage and affected the Pacific Northwest. The exercise will
emphasize disaster operations with the first portion of the exercise focusing on the collective
ability to share information among local, state, tribal, federal, and other whole community
officials; achieve common and accurate situational awareness; and communicate meaningful
risk information to the public. As the exercise progresses, focus shifts to unified
coordination essential to identifying short- and long-term recovery considerations.
3.5.2 Ardent Sentry 2014
Type: Full-scale
4
Location: Alaska, Colorado, and Mexico
Focus: The U.S. Department of Defense has aligned key components of the annual Ardent
Sentry exercise with Alaska Shield 2014, focusing on Defense Support to Civilian
Authorities mission, Homeland Defense Mission Assurance, and Foreign Humanitarian
Assistance/Disaster Response operations.
3.5.3 Nuclear Weapon Accident Incident Exercise 2014
Type: Full-scale
Duration: Three days
Date: Tuesday, April 1, to Thursday, April 3, 2014
Location: Vicinity of Grand Junction, Colorado
Focus: Nuclear Weapon Accident Incident Exercise 2014 features an accident occurring to a
secure transportation convoy of nuclear weapons within the Continental United States.
Intelligence and national leadership will need to quickly determine the cause and significance
of the accident. Although the accident is not the result of a terrorist attack, government
officials will need to address multiple events simultaneously.
3.5.4 Eagle Horizon 2014
Type: Full-scale
Duration: Two days
Date: Tuesday, April 1, to Wednesday, April 2, 2014
Location: Department/Agency alternate facilities
Focus: Eagle Horizon 2014 focuses on continuity of operations and reconstitution planning.
Eagle Horizon requires federal departments and agencies to activate continuity plans and
perform their Primary Mission Essential Functions and Mission Essential Functions during
transition to, and while at, their primary alternate facilities. Departments and agencies are
required to plan for reconstitution operations; however, there will be no operational aspects
(e.g., full-scale movements of resources or establishing/activating additional facilities)
associated with reconstitution planning during the Capstone Exercise.
3.5.5 Silver Phoenix 2014
Type: Full-scale (Phase I) and Table Top Exercise (Phase II)
Phase I
Location: National Capital Region
Phase II
Duration: Three days
Date: Tuesday, April 22, to Thursday, April 24, 2014
Location: National Capital Region
Focus: Silver Phoenix 2014 occurs throughout the Capstone Exercise, with recovery
elements spread across all component events and culminating in a 3-day Table Top Exercise
focused on long-term recovery issues. This exercise explores challenges associated with
5

examining, prioritizing, and conducting recovery activities involving multiple geographically
dispersed, competing events using the National Disaster Recovery Framework. Participants
will also consider potential outputs in support of the National Mitigation Framework.

4.1.1.2 Matanuska-Susitna Borough
Matanuska-Susitna Borough, approximately 40 miles northeast of Anchorage, is comprised of
the lush farmlands of the Matanuska and Susitna Valleys with a current population of 93,801.
Low housing costs, the rural lifestyle, and a reasonable commute to Anchorage for employment
and services has made the borough one of the fastest growing areas of Alaska in recent years.
The area accesses both the Glenn and George Parks Highways. Commercial airlines serve the
nearby Anchorage International Airport, but a local municipal airport supports private and
chartered services. The Alaska Rail Road provides for delivery of ocean freight.
4.1.1.3 Kenai Peninsula Borough
Kenai Peninsula Borough is comprised of the Kenai Peninsula, Cook Inlet, and a large
unpopulated area northeast of the Alaska Peninsula with a current population of about 57,000.
The borough includes portions of the Chugach National Forest, Kenai National Wildlife Refuge,
Kenai Fjords National Park, Lake Clark National Park, and Katmai National Park. The cities of
Kenai and Soldotna are the population centers of the borough. The Kenai Peninsula, located 60
air miles south of Anchorage, is filled with stunning scenery, fascinating history, and a rich
cultural heritage. The Kenai River is a major sport fishing location for Anchorage residents and
tourists. The river is world-renowned for trophy salmon and trout fishing. The peninsula is
well-traveled by sportsmen during summer months. The area has well-capitalized infrastructure
including airports, roads, public schools, and energy-related facilities. The economy of the
borough consists of heritage industries, including commercial fishing, mining, and timber, as
well as tourism and petroleum industry activities. The natural beauty and recreational activities
have led to a growing tourism industry with a well-developed list of attractions. Although many
fishing boats are based in Kenai, it does not have a formal port and harbor. There are docks for
offloading catch, but commercial fishing boats are generally moored offshore in the Kenai River.
4.1.1.4 Valdez
Valdez is located on the north shore of Port Valdez, a deep-water fjord in Prince William Sound.
It lies 305 road miles east of Anchorage and 364 road miles south of Fairbanks with a current
population of just over 4,000 residents. Valdez is a commercial and sport fishing port. Limited
freight moves through Valdez bound for the interior of Alaska. Richardson Highway, the only
overland route connecting Valdez to the rest of the Alaska roadway network, goes through
Thompson Pass northeast of Valdez. Thompson Pass is the snowiest place in Alaska and is
subject to avalanches. Sightseeing, viewing marine life and glaciers, sport fishing, and heliskiing
support a large tourist industry. The community has been marked by a number of significant
events: the 1964 Great Alaskan Earthquake, being chosen as the terminus of the Trans-Alaska
Pipeline System, and the 1989 Exxon Valdez Oil Spill.
4.1.1.5 Cordova
Cordova is located at the southeastern end of Prince William Sound in the Gulf of Alaska with a
current full-time population of about 2,300. The community was built on Orca Inlet at the base
of Eyak Mountain. It lies 52 air miles southeast of Valdez and 150 miles southeast of
Anchorage. Cordova has a significant Eyak-Athabaskan population with an active village
council. Commercial fishing is the main industry in Cordova. Half of all households in Cordova
have at least one person involved in commercial fishing or processing.

4.1.1.6 Kodiak
Kodiak Island is located on the western side of the Gulf of Alaska with a current population of
just over 14,000. It lies 252 air miles south of Anchorage (a 55-minute flight), and is a 3-hour
flight from Seattle. The climate of the Kodiak Islands is dominated by a strong marine influence.
There is little or no freezing weather, moderate precipitation, and frequent cloud cover and fog.
Severe storms are common from December through February. Transportation to and from the
island is provided by ferry service on the Alaska Marine Highway as well as local commercial
airlines. Kodiak is a major commercial fishing center. Tourism, mainly those seeking outdoor
adventure trips, is a lesser economic influence.

An approximate 400-person chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, explosive subject
matter expert element from the Washington Homeland Response Force; Hawaii and Oregon
Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive Enhanced Response Force Packages;
and portions of the California, Nevada, Indiana, and Nebraska Civil Support Teams have
been deployed to Alaska to help support the Arctic Winter Games in Fairbanks on March 15-
22. Following the Arctic Winter Games, these Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear,
Explosive units will start training on or about March 27 with the Alaska National Guard to
fulfill their annual training requirement and external evaluation. Some of these units will
remain in Alaska to participate in the Hazardous Material Symposium in Kodiak planned for
April 1-3, 2014.
The 101st Civil Support Team is in Kodiak for training.
Headquarters & Headquarters Troop/1-297

There will be no damage to Trans-Alaska Pipeline System; however, it will be shut down and
require inspections.
There will be no damage to Delta Junction, a major thoroughfare, which sits on the Delta
River at the intersection of the Richardson Highway and the Alaska Highway following the
7.8-magnitude aftershock on March 28. The aftershock is needed to drive play at Fort Greely
for the Alaska National Guard.
The National Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer continues its operational capability at a
marginal level with potential latent structural damage.
4.3.5 Timeline
Joint Logistics over the Shore deployment is artificially accelerated to allow this event to
take place during the timeframe of the exercise.
The arrival timing and transportation methods will be artificiality for personnel and
equipment participating in full-scale exercise play during the exercise. Logistics constraints
based on notional earthquake and tsunami damage will not affect the real world deployment
of these exercise participants to ensure their participation can take place during the timeframe
of the exercise.
4.3.6 Other
The aftershocks only impact the communities listed.
The Matanuska-Susitna Borough Emergency Operations Center personnel will already be
assembled on March 27 to participate in a training event, so activation will be expedited.
The estimated sheltering, feeding, and hydration numbers exceed the population of Valdez.
The assumption is that these numbers represent visitors.
The equipment for the Alaska Medical Station will be pre-staged at the fairgrounds.
There are currently 6,000 tourists, business travelers, and family visitors in the Anchorage
area.
At the time of the earthquake, 14,000 Matanuska-Susitna Borough residents are in the
Municipality of Anchorage. 10,000 of them desire to return to their homes north of the Knik
River.

4.4 Alaska Earthquake Scenario
4.4.1 Initiating Event4
4.4.1.1 Earthquake
At 10:10 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time on March 27, an earthquake occurs in Alaska. The shaking,
which lasts nearly 5 minutes, has caught most of the affected areas population either at work or
school. Preliminary estimates indicate a 9.2-magnitude earthquake initiated approximately 70
miles east of Anchorage and 50 miles west of Valdez at a depth of 16 miles, rupturing a fault that
spans an area from beyond the western edge of Kodiak Island to the eastern side of Prince
William Sound and from well offshore to inland near upper Cook Inlet. This event is felt
throughout most of Alaska, as far east as White Horse Yukon Territory, Canada, and south to

TRUSTED AGENTS ONLY
British Columbia and northern Washington State. Over the next several days Alaska will
experience 13 aftershocks ranging from 5.1 magnitude to 7.8 magnitude.
The U.S. Geological Survey and Alaska Earthquake Information Center have determined that an
area of the Alaska-Aleutian megathrust, approximately 400 miles long and several hundred miles
wide, has slipped causing the North American Plate to override the Pacific Plate. Movement on
the megathrust has been responsible for many historic earthquakes in this region, including the
1964 Great Alaskan Earthquake.
4.4.1.2 Tsunami
At 10:15 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time, the National Tsunami Warning Center (formerly the
Alaska Tsunami Warning Center) issues a tsunami warning to all coastal areas in Southeast
Alaska, Southcentral Alaska, the Aleutian Islands, British Columbia, Canada, the Northwestern
United States, Hawaii, and the Pacific Rim countries.
4.4.1.3 Avalanche
The initial shaking causes avalanche activity in many of the slide zones in the affected area.
Additional aftershocks will bring down the more solid snow slabs, disrupting rail and road traffic
throughout the region.
4.4.1.4 Immediate Consequences
Most communication pathways in Southcentral Alaska are out of service, making damage
reporting and requests for fire and emergency medical service nearly impossible; telephone lines,
communication towers, and fiber optic cables are down or damaged.
Motorists are stranded on nearly every road and highway in Southcentral Alaska. Roadways are
blocked by snow and ice from avalanche activity from Healy and Glenn Allen in the north to
Seward and Homer in the south. Bridges are damaged throughout the region; some have been
affected by the shaking others by liquefaction. People are being forced to find alternate routes
around the damaged areas. The distinct odor of natural gas is present in most populated
neighborhoods of Southcentral Alaska.
As tsunami warnings are issued, residents head for the safety of higher ground. Structural
damage, debris, and snow slow their progress. Additionally, roadways on some tsunami routes
are impassable because of avalanches.
4.4.1.5 Anticipated Immediate Action
The State of Alaska is expected to request a Presidential Disaster Declaration within hours of the
initiating event, using established protocols. Additionally, a recommendation to request a Duel
Status Commander is expected from the Alaska National Guard Adjutant General to the
Governor of Alaska. Approval for the Duel Status Commander from the Secretary of Defense is
expected to occur on day one of the exercise.
Joint Staff J1 (manpower, personnel, and administration) is expected to direct a state-wide
Department of Defense Personnel Disaster Accountability report as specified in the Federal
Emergency Management Agency Region X All-Hazards Plan.

4.5.2 Consequences to Emergency Services
Many fire, law enforcement, and Emergency Medical Service facilities have sustained
damage and have limited communication capabilities.
Information and specific intelligence about the disaster is spotty and unreliable.
Facilities with emergency generators are able to partially and temporarily compensate for
disruptions in commercial power. Generator-dependent facilities will require fuel to continue
operations.
Significant numbers of off-duty first responders are not available for immediate recall to duty
due to communications disruptions and infrastructure damage. Others need to tend to injured
family members and damaged homes before reporting for duty.
Fire departments and other first responders in minimally-affected surrounding areas are
mobilizing and offering mutual aid support.
Law enforcement personnel are stretched extremely thin as they are:
o Participating in rescue operations
o Performing damage assessments
o Providing security at critical sites
o Performing traffic control duties
Table 15 through Table 18 provide information on the status of emergency services.

4.5.3 Consequences to Transportation
The following section describes damage to roads and bridges, ports, ferries, railroads, and
airports and runways in the affected region.
4.5.3.1 Roads and Bridges
All bridges and roads in Southcentral Alaska have sustained extensive damage.
Immediately after the earthquake, abandoned vehicles clog many roads in the affected area,
hampering first responder movement.
The initial earthquake will require the inspection of all roads, bridges, and overpasses north
of Anchorage to the Knik River Bridge and south of Anchorage to the Kenai Peninsula
before they can be reopened for other than emergency traffic.
5

Each subsequent aftershock will necessitate the reinspection of all roads, bridges, and
overpasses within the affected area.
Table 19 lists the status of roads and bridges in Alaska.

4.5.3.2 Ports
A number of ports are significantly damaged and require both inspections and repairs to
reopen.
Ports experiencing tsunami are heavily clogged with debris of various types and sizes.
The U.S. Coast Guard will need to conduct hydrographic survey of the shipping channels
following the earthquake.
Ports may experience unstable currents and be unsafe for certain types of vessels.
Normal commercial traffic expected to arrive in port on Saturday may need to be rerouted
based on identified damage.

4.5.3.5 Airports and Runways
All air navigation aids that experience an earthquake of 5.0-magnitude or greater require
inspection by the Federal Aviation Administration. Until inspection and any required
repairs/recertification are completed, the airfields that the navigation aids support will
operate under visual flight rules only. Each subsequent aftershock of 5.0-magnitude or
greater will necessitate reinspection.
Damage to approach and runway lights may result in additional airfield restrictions, such as
Visual Flight Rules and daylight only operations.
Portions of National Weather Service products that support pre-flight planning will be
unavailable, additional details are available in the National Exercise Program Capstone
Exercise 2014 Scenario Ground Truth For Official Use Only Annex.
In addition to airport buildings and runways, runway lights, ground support equipment,
navigation aids, radar, and fuel supplies may be damaged by the earthquake and subsequent
aftershocks resulting in reduced operations and capacity.

4.5.4 Consequences to Communications Systems
Lines of communication have been widely but unevenly degraded in Southcentral Alaskan
communities nearest the epicenter of the earthquake.
All primary and secondary forms of communication are intermittent and unreliable. Systems
affected include:
o Cell phones
o Land lines
o Internet via fiber lines
o Alaska Land Mobile Radio
o Cable television
o Amplitude modulation/frequency modulation radio stations (power to transmit
will likely be the fail point, backup generators may not survive)
The following communications systems are operating on battery power, once the battery dies,
communications will go down unless there are sufficient backup generators and fuel to
support sustained operations:
o Amateur Radio Emergency Services (all repeaters have backup generator
systems)
o Marine band
o Air band
o Satellite phones
o Simplex line of sight only-repeaters down
o Portable satellite systems
o Internal tactical communications available to deploy
Table 24 and Table 25 provide information on communications damage and functionality.

4.5.5 Consequences to Utilities
The following information describes the general impacts to the utilities (i.e., electric, natural gas,
water, and wastewater/sewer) in the affected area statewide.
4.5.5.1 Electric
There is power in large portions of the electric grid in the affected area.
Widespread outages are largely a result of structural damage to generating stations,
substations, transmission towers, and transformers, including damage and slippage to
transformer bushings. Localized outages occur as a result of feeder line burn-down and
blown fuses.
Inspection will be required to determine if outages are a result of damage or automated
system shutdowns.
Initial earthquake damage is compounded by subsequent aftershocks. Previously inspected
and repaired power electrical facilities will require additional inspection and repair.

4.5.5.2 Natural Gas
The natural gas distribution system has been significantly damaged. Damages include
pipeline breaks, main breaks, and disruptions to pressure and measurement instruments.
Systems experiencing breakages also experience significantly reduced pressure.
Gas system leakage necessitates evacuation in many areas.
Customer-side damage including meter movement and line breakage as a result of ground
displacement will require extensive repair.
In addition to breaks and damage, the utilities will shut off gas service to facilitate inspection
and mitigate leaks.
Table 27 provides information on damage to the natural gas system.

4.5.5.3 Water System
Service main and line breaks result in reduced water pressure in affected areas. Pressure
reductions could reduce fire-fighting capability.
Water utilities will shut down system components in an attempt to mitigate damage from
pressure loss and pipe leaks and breaks inside of buildings.
To mitigate possible public health threats in both urban and rural areas, public health
authorities may issues boil water advisories.
Following repair, systems will require quality testing and system flushing to ensure
potability.
Table 28 provides information on damage to the water system.

4.5.5.4 Wastewater and Sewer System
Wastewater and sewer system damage includes cracked pipe walls, pipe section collapse, and
separation between pipe joints.
Liquefaction has pushed some pipes up, which reduced the downward gradient of the system,
causing it to stop flowing and/or backup in some areas.
Sewer pump stations and their pressure mains have suffered varying damage. Some will
require complete replacement. As a result, it is possible that effluent is being pumped into
waterways and the sea.
Wastewater and sewer breaks have occurred near potable water line damage putting the
potable water systems at risk. Authorities may issue boil water notices to mitigate public
health threats.

4.7 Fairbanks/North Pole Specific Scenario Narrative
City of North Pole has experienced problems with their water and sewer plant systems
throughout the winter and has had several break downs, but otherwise there are no significant
events occurring.
4.7.1.1 Monday, March 24, 2014
North Pole Public Works starts to receive phone calls from residents complaining about low
water pressure problems, and some complain they have no water.
4.7.1.2 Tuesday, March 25, 2014
On Tuesday, the North Pole Water Plant started to see a significant decline in its ability to
produce water for the city. North Pole Public Works musters employees to check the city water
system to determine the cause of the problem. Large pools of water are found in several remote
locations of the city. North Pole Public Works makes arrangements for a contractor to bring in a
remote camera to travel inside the water system/piping. The contractor is coming from
Anchorage and will arrive on Wednesday evening.
4.7.1.3 Wednesday, March 26, 2014
At midday Wednesday, the North Pole Sewer Plant starts to receive high-level sewage alarms.
The plant and lagoon are checked, revealing large amounts of sewage backing up. By
Wednesday evening, residents start to report sewage backing up in their homes. Police patrol
officers also report puddles forming around sewer manhole covers in the street. Sewage is
backing up throughout the city, causing a strong aroma of sewage that is being reported
throughout the city.
On Wednesday evening, the North Pole Mayor calls a meeting of key leaders to get an update on
the situation. A decision is made to open the North Pole Emergency Operations Center at 8:00
a.m. Alaska Daylight Time on Thursday morning.

4.7.1.4 Thursday, March 27, 2014
At 8:00 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time, the North Pole Emergency Operation Center is operational.
The camera contractor, Vivid Water, is setting up equipment to scope the interior of the North
Pole water pipes. At about 10:15 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time, ground movement/shakes are
noted by workers but passed off as normal day-to-day earthquakes. At 10:30 a.m. Alaska
Daylight Time, as public works employees take their morning union-mandated break, they start
checking social media and begin seeing reports that a massive earthquake occurred in
Anchorage.
Fairbanks and the interior of Alaska felt the earthquake; however, due to degraded
communications the total effects of the earthquake is uncertain. Information on location of the
earthquake or subsequent damage is initially unknown. The Fairbanks Emergency Operations
Center as well as political leaders is receiving bits and pieces of information advising that there
is significant damage south of the Alaska Range. Dispatchers as well as local governmental
officials are receiving inquiries for information from local residences as well as the media.
Rumors abound of a tragedy of great magnitude in Anchorage, but they cannot be verified.
Increasing numbers of calls are being received by dispatch regarding concerns for the welfare of
family members that live south of the range. Cell phone communication is spotty at best. Some
calls go through, some are cut off. The cell system quickly becomes overloaded and unusable.
Alaska Land Mobil Radio communication is working but is experiencing outages. Agencies
have to revert to conventional very high frequency and ultra high frequency radio
communications for local use.
Governmental officials and emergency management staff for the Cities of Fairbanks and North
Pole gather in their respective communities and decide to activate their Emergency Operations
Center. City of North Poles Emergency Operations Center is already operational due to their
water and sewer system issues.
As the Emergency Operations Center ramp up, attempts to communicate with the State
Emergency Operations Center are unsuccessful by conventional means (i.e., telephone and
ALMR). No cell phone voice communication is available either. The Emergency Operations
Center establishes satellite phone communications. Also, an arctic amateur radio user (Ham
radio) is contacted and responds to the Emergency Operations Center to help establish alternate
communications.
As communications are established with the State Emergency Operations Center, information
begins to flow in on the magnitude of the quake and resulting damage. The State Emergency
Operations Center also begins to inquire on available resources from the interior that can assist
with damage assessments and urban search and rescue for collapsed structures in Anchorage.
Local Emergency Operations Centers are now assessing local damage (if any) and estimating
potential future affects the quake may have on the interior. The Emergency Operations Center is
also working to mobilize local Urban Search and Rescue resources into a strike team. This
Urban Search and Rescue strike team will travel to Anchorage to assist in Urban Search and
Rescue operations.
As Emergency Operations Center gathers damage assessments, they are receiving requests from
hospitals in Anchorage, Matanuska-Susitna, and Valdez to assist with relocating patients
currently at local hospitals to make room for the large number of trauma injuries coming in due
101

to the earthquake. SEOC is coordinating with Alaska Department of Health and Social Services
to coordinate to evacuate patients out of the affected areas.
At about 4:00 p.m. Alaska Daylight Time, North Pole crews find several 12-inch water mains
(pipes) broken/cracked underground. There are also reports from citizens of North Pole coming
into North Pole City Hall that several streets have large puddles. At 5:15 p.m., the fire
department is dispatched for a motor vehicle crash involving two vehicles on Fifth Avenue. As
police and EMS arrive, they find the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Elf Boulevard is covered
with 8 inches of water. There is a Sport Utility Vehicle and a sedan with their front ends down
in what appears to be a hole. Both vehicles have water up to the drivers doors. Firefighters
wade through the water and remove the occupants of both vehicles.
A North Pole water plant operator reports all five of the city water pumps are running and are
starting to cavitate. They cannot keep up with the water discharge. At 6:30 p.m. Alaska
Daylight Time, one of the pumps starts to overheat and is shut down. At about midnight, there is
a catastrophic failure of three more pumps. One of the pumps explodes, seriously injuring the
plant operator and two public works employees. At this point no water is available in the city for
domestic use or firefighting operations.
At 8:00 p.m. Alaska Daylight Time, the State Emergency Operations Center requests Urban
Search and Rescue support from the Fairbanks North Star Borough Emergency Operations
Center.
4.7.1.5 Friday, March 28, 2014
At 2:00 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time, the North Pole Public Works Director and Fire Chief are
called and advised of the outage. The mayor is notified, and an emergency meeting of Fire and
Public Works is set for 3:00 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time to establish situational
awareness/common operating picture at the Emergency Operations Center.
At 4:00 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time, the Fairbanks Emergency Operations Center disseminates
information regarding the earthquake in Anchorage. Situational awareness/ common operating
picture information indicates an extensive amount of resources from the interior will be required
to support disaster operations efforts in Anchorage. This movement of resources will affect the
daily operations of all areas.
At about 6:00 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time, North Pole residents start calling the Police and Fire
Departments complaining about no water.
At 7:00 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time, Interior Fire Departments led by Fairbanks Fire Department
assemble available Urban Search and Rescue resources at the Regional Fire Training Center in
Fairbanks to form a strike team to deploy to Anchorage. There also happens to be a Chemical
Support Team Guard Unit in Fairbanks at the Armory. This unit receives notification through
their communication channels that Urban Search and Rescue resources are needed. They gather
with local responders at the Fire Training Center and become part of the Urban Search and
Rescue strike team. Alaska State Troopers contact the Emergency Operations Center and advise
that a local organization of Search and Rescue dogs, PAWS, are available and willing to respond
with the strike team. Members of PAWS also respond to the Fire Training Center to check in for
the assignment.
102
TRUSTED AGENTS ONLY
At 7:30 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time, the Fairbanks Emergency Operations Center receives a
request from State Emergency Operations Center that a Hazardous Material tech group also
respond with the Urban Search and Rescue strike team because there are numerous collapsed
structures and derailed train cars leaking Hazardous Material of an undetermined origin. The
train manifest must be checked to determine type and amount. Quick action should limit ground
contamination.
At 7:45 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time, the Fairbanks Emergency Operations Center contacts the
local Hazardous Material response team and requests assistance. Members of the 103rd Civil
Support Team are also in town for quarterly training and offer assistance in response. Both the
Hazardous Material response team and 103rd Civil Support Team report to the Fire Training
Center for check in and response.
At 8:00 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time, the Urban Search and Rescue strike team and Hazardous
Material response team have assembled and are ready to depart for Anchorage. (The strike team
will simulate the trip to Anchorage. They will respond as a group out to Ft. Wainwright training
grounds to conduct a Urban Search and Rescue exercise on the rubble pile. (This same event
will also take place on March 29-30

for purposes of training multiple crews.)

At 8:30 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time, the North Pole Mayor makes a public statement to the press
regarding the public works situation in North Pole.
At 9:00 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time, North Pole schools are calling North Pole City Hall about no
water. City officials determine that no potable water is available; the decision is made to close
the schools.
North Pole Police are called to local stores because of a sudden rush to purchase bottle water.
This rush has caused tempers to flare and small arguments and scuffles are occurring. North
Pole Police resources are stretched thin.
North Pole Police are also receiving reports from owners of service stations that they are running
out of fuel and customers are becoming irate.
4.7.1.6 Saturday, March 29, 2014
Irate people are at North Pole City Hall/Police Department, demanding water. The city clerk is
worried that the crowd will harm her. North Pole City Emergency Operations Center security is
at risk. Doyon Security at the two refineries is reporting several breeches in the security fences
where people have tried to gain access for fuel.
At 12:00 p.m. Alaska Daylight Time, the Emergency Operations Center activates the City
Security Master Plan. Alaska State Troopers are unable to assist with security as their resources
were deployed to the valley. The city requests U.S. Air Force Security Forces to augment the
North Pole Police Department to provide security for city facilities and refineries.
North Pole Public Works has determined there is no way to restore the water without needed
parts. The Public Works Director meets with Emergency Operations Center staff and, at 5:00
p.m. Alaska Daylight Time, the North Pole Emergency Operations Center sends a request to the
Fairbanks Emergency Operations Center for the water purification trailer. This is required to
produce clean drinking water for their local residents.

4.7.1.7 Sunday, March 30, 2014
Fairbanks Emergency Operations Center coordinates with City Public Works and Fairbanks
Memorial Hospital to deploy the water purification unit to North Pole. At about 8:00 a.m.
Alaska Daylight Time, the water purification unit departs the city warm storage facility enroute
to North Pole Public Works.
The water purification trailer arrives in North Pole at about 9:00 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time.
At 10:00 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time, the North Pole Public Information Officer makes a public
statement to the press informing residents that fresh water will be available to the public starting
at 11:00 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time at North Pole Plaza.
At 11:00 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time, North Pole Public Works establishes a point of distribution
at North Pole Plaza to distribute water to residents.
At 12:00 p.m. Alaska Daylight Time, Eielson Air Force Base Security Forces depart base
enroute to North Pole to help secure critical infrastructure.
At 1:30 p.m. Alaska Daylight Time, security forces secure a perimeter around refineries and
Santa Claus House.
At 4:00 p.m. Alaska Daylight Time, repair parts arrive for the North Pole Water and Sewer Plant.
At 6:00 p.m. Alaska Daylight Time, the North Pole Water and Sewer plant is back online.

4.8.2 U. S. Pacific Command
The U.S. Pacific Command is not participating in Ardent Sentry/Arctic Edge and/or the
Capstone Exercise. U.S. Pacific Command will provide support via a small response cell. The
response cell is expected to give operational control of Alaskan Command forces to U.S.
Northern Command; this includes but is not limited to Joint Task Force-Alaska and other land-
based Title 10 assets.
While normal request and reporting procedures dictate these actions go through U.S. Army
Pacific or Air Force Higher Headquarters, the Pacific Command Response Cell will be the
responding agency for Ardent Sentry 2014 and Arctic Edge 2014.
Additionally, Tactical Command of a West Coast Maritime Command Element is expected to be
given to U.S. Navy North through the appropriate U.S. Northern Command coordination and in
accordance with Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Pacific Command Defense Support to
Civilian Authority Execute Orders. Other Pacific Fleet assets may be included based in Defense
Support to Civilian Authority A-Float objectives in this exercise. These will be managed by the
Pacific Command Response Cell. Administrative Control will be managed through the Pacific
Command Response Cell unless otherwise directed and/or coordinated. Exercise casualty and
personnel reporting by Title 10 assets in Alaska will also be to/through the Pacific Command
Response Cell.

4.8.3 Aerospace Operations
North American Aerospace Defense Command will conduct Operation Noble Eagle to exercise
reduced capability in support of the Alaska earthquake event. The integration of Civil Air Patrol
in Field Training Exercise missions will require coordination of airspace management, SAR
operations, and exercise the overlap of Title 10 and Title 32 air mobility assets. With the
exception of the live fly Field Training Exercise Operation Noble Eagle mission in Northern
Oregon that will exercise Operation Noble Eagle low-altitude and/or over wind farms operations,
all aerospace events are in support of the Alaska earthquake scenario.
4.8.3.1 Aerospace Venues
Below are the twelve aerospace venues with expected blue player action/reaction included:
Alaskan North American Aerospace Defense Command Region is requesting back-fill for
mission from Canadian North American Aerospace Defense Command Region, Alaskan North
American Aerospace Defense Command Region Runway Inspection Event, Alaskan North
American Aerospace Defense Command Region Aircraft Inspection Event, and RADAR link

ii. Aircraft Type: Both Baron and Civil Air Patrol (Cessna 182)
iii. Mission Scenarios: This Field Training Exercise is associated with Ardent Sentry
2014, but it is a stand-alone North American Aerospace Defense Command-focused
event. The Field Training Exercise is being planned and coordinated primarily by
Western Air Defense Sector such that it will look like a FELIX HAWK to North
American Aerospace Defense Command entities. The scenario is a pop-up General
Aviation threat to critical infrastructure in the Pacific Northwest.
4. Defense Support to Civilian Authority Civil Air Patrol: Exercise Civil Air Patrol in a
disaster operations situation. Civil Air Patrol National Operations Center to put out a
warning order to the Alaska wing and the western states to prepare for incoming support
from the State Emergency Operations Center and Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Alaska wing will open a mission base and move aircraft into to position to support Defense
Support to Civilian Authority requests. In real-world events the first request would be from
the states and depending on the size of the disaster, Federal Emergency Management Agency
mission assistance would follow. U.S. Air Force Auxiliary should be able to start imaging
targets the next day. Over the next month, Civil Air Patrol will work with the state and
Federal Emergency Management Agency on the imagery delivery process and targets.

5. Defense Support to Civilian AuthoritySearch and Rescue: In the air venue, United States
Northern Command will conduct a catastrophic incident event in Alaska, resulting in
consequence management and support to civil authorities. The 9.2-magnitude earthquake
will trigger requests for assistance from the State of Alaska. Alaska has a finite amount of
Search and Rescue assets within the state. All other assets are in U.S. Northern Command
proper Continental United States or Pacific Command Outside Continental United States. In
this unique situation/environment, the State of Alaska will rely heavily on Title 10 assets
before Emergency Management Assistance Compacts can arrive, contradictory to what is
done in the lower 48 states. The disaster operations for rescue will be a mix of Title 10, Title
32, and other local, state, tribal, and federal agencies. An objective is to work with the State
of Alaska to establish an automatic trigger for a Department of Defense response based on
the severity (Richter) of the earthquake. (In the Cascadia Subduction Zone and the New
Madrid Seismic Zone, both have automatic triggers for a Department of Defense response of
8.0). Once the Mission Assistance or vocal order to support is received, the U.S. Northern
Command Joint Personnel Recovery Center will move Search and Rescue Liaison Officers to
Alaska to support the stated Search and Rescue Supported Commander Northern Command
Future Operations Center has to create/publish the Frag Order designating the Joint Task
Force-Alaska Coordination Center as the Search and Rescue Supported Commander for the
Joint Operations Area (Alaska), currently it is the Air Forces Northern Coordination Center
for U.S. Northern Command. Another objective is to work the movement to alternate
airports (Fairbanks International Airport or others) and ground transport to the affected area
during these austere winter conditions. This will trigger an augmentation requirement for the
Joint Personnel Recovery Center at Tyndall Air Force Base for Continental United States
coverage and if an isolating event occurs (personnel recovery). The Joint Personnel
Recovery Center Liaison Officer will conduct a hasty mission analysis to illuminate and fill
shortfalls in the Search and Rescue enterprise. In conjunction with the State of Alaska, the
United States Northern Command Joint Personnel Recovery Center will refine Prescript
Mission Assignments, shape the Request for Forces for the Defense Support to Civilian
Authority Execute Order Categories 2-4 Search and Rescue forces, and airlift for the Federal
Emergency Management Agency Urban Search and Rescue teams. Joint Task Force Alaska
does in Alaska, what U.S. Army North does in the lower 48 states with less than a quarter of
the manpower. The Search and Rescue window of opportunity to save lives is 1 to 72 hours,
some instances (i.e., prudent measures such as blankets, food, water, etc. stored for

4.9 Vigilant Guard Alaska
Vigilant Guard Alaska is an organization-wide full scale exercise involving both Air and Army
Guard elements of the Alaska National Guard as well as several regional partners. There are few
exceptions that will be allowed for non-participation from Alaska National Guard units. The
Alaska National Guard will provide one or more joint task forces with trained command
elements to exercise command and control for Defense Support to Civilian Authority missions
during Vigilant Guard Alaska. The Alaska National Guard will perform domestic emergency
tasks with emphasis on initial response, stability, and recovery efforts to restore critical services,
security, distribution systems, and port operations. Task force commanders will conduct daily
risk assessments to ensure the safety of all personnel throughout the exercise. The Joint Forces
Headquarters Alaska /Joint Task Force-49 will provide situational awareness to Department of
Defense authorities to assist in coordinating federal activities.
The Vigilant Guard Alaska exercise objectives have been compiled into three overarching
objectives listed below:
Exercise Dual Status Command (this is the primary focus area for the Alaska National
Guard)
Demonstrate proficiency of State of Alaska mission tasks (i.e., Madden 9)
Operate within the National Incident Management System environment
A complete list of the Vigilant Guard Alaska exercise goals is as follows.
Establish Joint Reception, Staging, Onward Movement, and Integration
Activate JTF-49 responseemploy multiple task forces
Request/Implement Duel Status Command of Title 10/Title 32 forces in coordination with
Alaska Command Alaska Command headquarters (Conduct Command and Control of T10
forces)
Activate a Joint Interagency Task Force with local and regional Chemical, Biological,
Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive elements
Validate Alaska National Guard Operations Plan 3500-13 all hazards and establish/improve a
Common Operation Picture
Exercise Emergency Management Assistance Compact and Pacific Northwest Emergency
Management Assistance process
Establish an Emergency Family Assistance Control Center
Alaska National Guard participate in public outreach effortsearthquake awareness
As a state agency, the Alaska National Guard will react to requests for assistance/capabilities
from the Alaska State Emergency Operations Center. In the May 2013 State of Alaska
Emergency Operations Plan, it is identified that the Department of Military and Veterans
Affairs/Alaska National Guard has a support responsibility to every Essential Support
Function; thus, there should be ample stimulus from the state requesting the Alaska National
Guard to fill missions. It is envisioned that for the Vigilant Guard Alaska to achieve its
objectives specifically demonstrating proficiency in the Alaskan mission task there will need to
be many requests from the state to the Alaska National Guard for capabilities. Some of these
119
TRUSTED AGENTS ONLY
requests will need to happen on March 27 to allow for Alaska National Guard Field Training
Exercise play to line up with the Command Post Exercise scenario.
Vigilant Guard Alaska is just one of many linked and/or partnered exercise with Alaska Shield
2014. Some of these linkages include the Joint Task Force/Alaska Arctic Edge 2014, National
Exercise Program Capstone Exercise 2014, North American Aerospace Defense Command
Northern Command Ardent Sentry 2014, and U.S. Transportation Command Turbo Challenge
and Ultimate Caduceus 2014. The goal of all the linked exercises is to complement/augment
each exercise by using the same overarching Alaska Shield 2014 exercise while satisfying all
exercise objectives. With all these linkages, simulating external agencies will be at a minimum;
this is due to the fact that most local, state, region, federal, Combat Command, etc. are
participating. A challenge with this will be on exercise design; that is, the exercise will need to
be designed in a manner that will force some decisions to ensure a units exercise objectives are
met.
4.9.1 Anchorage
Multiple Alaska National Guard units will operate out of and within the city of Anchorage. The
Alaska National Guard Joint Forces Headquarters Joint-Staff and Joint Task Force-49 will
operate out of its normal day-to-day location on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and will
mirror the state hours of play from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., daily from March 27 to April 2. A
National Guard Bureau Domestic All-Hazards Response Team (eight people) and a Joint
Enabling Team (four people) will deploy to support the Alaska National Guard Joint Operations
Center, and will also provide staff augmentation. The Washington Homeland Response Force
will deploy a 50-person Subject Matter Expert element that will integrate operations with Joint
Task Force-49. The Alaska National Guard Medical Detachment will deploy and setup the
Alaskan Medical Station at Raven Hall, Alaska State Fairgrounds. The Oregon Chemical,
Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive Enhanced Response Force Package will deploy
with 202 people and equipment, and will conduct operations on the rubble pile in Anchorage on
March 28-30; augmenting this will be 133 people from the Hawaii Chemical, Biological,
Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive Enhanced Response Force Package. Also, the 103rd Alaska
Civil Support Team and 72nd Nebraska Civil Support Team will operate on the Anchorage
rubble pile. Key tasks that will be conducted are hazardous materials operations at the
Anchorage rubble pile (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive Enhanced
Response Force Package, Homeland Response Force, two Civil Support Teams), State Crime
Lab (72 Civil Support Team), Joint Operations Center operations, and maintain Common
Operating Picture. Movement and replenishment Joint Reception, Staging, Onward Movement,
and Integration for units deploying to Alaska will be accomplished on Joint Base Elmendorf-
Richardson at the Joint Mobility Complex and at Ted Stevens International Airport.
The Joint Visitors Bureau will be open March 27-April 1, from 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Alaska
Daylight Time. Distinguished visitors are permitted to visit or view selected segments of the
exercise, but do not play in the exercise and do not perform any control or data collection
functions. Distinguished Visitors will view the exercise from a designated observation area and
will be asked to remain within the observation area during the exercise. The Joint Visitors
Bureau is a blue player entity and all Distinguished Visitors will be directed to the Joint Visitors
Bureau at the Flight Operations Center, Bryant Army Airfield. Currently, the Distinguished
Visitor days are scheduled for March 29 (9:00a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) and March 31 (9:00 a.m. to 3:00
120
TRUSTED AGENTS ONLY
p.m.). On March 29, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., events will include the armory operations tour,
shaker cottage simulation, capability briefs, lunch, and rubble pile tour. On March 31, from 9:00
a.m.-3:00 p.m., events will include the Joint Field Office operations floor tour, lunch, panel
discussion, and Joint Logistics Over the Shore tour.
It is expected that through blue player actions, the Alaska National Guard and Alaska
government will request that Dual Status Command be established the afternoon of March 27.
Master Scenario Events List #VGAK 011.
The Vigilant Guard Alaska Exercise Control Cell will be located in Anchorage on Joint Base
Elmendorf-Richardson. The Exercise Control Cell will consist of exercise control and the
simulation cell. ECC will be located in building 10471, room B102, and will be manned 24/7
from 8:00 a.m. on March 27 until 4:00 p.m. on April 2. The simulation cell will mirror the
Exercise Control Cell hours of operation and will simulate all Title 32 units for the exercise and
any Title 10 units that are chopped (Frag Ordered) to the Alaska National Guard Dual Status
Command.
There will also be observers monitoring Alaska National Guard activities from the 39th
Canadian Brigade and the Mongolian National Emergency Management Agency. Mongolia is
an Alaska National Guard partnership nation and they routinely observe each others events. In
addition the National Guard Bureau Chief has invited the Chief of the Israel Defense Forces to
observe the exercise; status at this time is to be determined.
The Vigilant Guard Alaska team will coordinate, develop, and release three 2 to 3 minute video
media reports that will focus on the destruction at the outlying communities (will try and
replicate the local news). These videos will be release on the following dates/times: March 27

The information in this section was developed by U.S. Department of Energy planners to meet
Nuclear Weapon Accident Incident Exercise 2014 objectives. This information will drive play at
the National level to achieve broader National Exercise Program Capstone Exercise 2014
objectives. The information below is provided as an overview of the scenario ground truth for
this event. The detailed nuclear weapons accident scenario ground truth information is for
official use only and can be found in the National Exercise Program CAPSTONE Exercise 2014
Scenario Ground Truth For Official Use Only Annex.
5.1 Initiating Event
At 7:00 a.m. local time, a government convoy transporting nuclear weapons travels westbound at
65 miles per hour along a mostly rural section of I-70. The convoy includes three fully loaded
Secure Government Transports and requisite escorts. Meanwhile, a tanker truck carrying 3,500
gallons of diesel fuel heads eastward on I-70, traveling toward the Secure Government
Transports convoy at 65 mph.
The front left tire of the tanker ruptures suddenly as it nears the government convoy. The
drowsy tanker driver over-corrects and drives over the median into the westbound highway lane.
The tanker strikes the lead transport vehicles catwalkthe platform in-between the cab and the
trailercausing the Secure Government Transport to tumble to the right off of the highway. The
SGT lands on its tires after completely rolling over once, and the tanker ends up abutting the
transport on the side of the road. The force of the impact causes the tanker to crack and begin
leaking diesel onto the side of the highway where it pools around both vehicles and catches fire.
Flames rapidly engulf the tanker and the transport. The transports driver is feared dead.
Meanwhile, the driver of the tanker lies face down on the right side of the westbound lanes; he
suffered severe trauma and burns after being ejected from the truck cab and landing near the
raging fire.
Three civilian vehicles are also caught up in the accident. A van with one driver and five
passengers swerves to avoid the colliding trucks, but flips and rolls down the embankment. It
lands adjacent to the growing fire surrounding the transport. The five passengers are injured and
the vans driver is killed. Additionally, a sedan with only one driver traveling in the eastbound
lane reacts to the accident, rear ending a second sedan carrying three persons, including the
driver and one child. The second sedan (with passengers) spins out of control and comes to rest
after hitting vegetation on the side of the eastbound road. The second sedans driver and front
passenger cry out in pain, as does the child in the back seat. The first sedans driver appears
unharmed.

6 CYBER OPERATIONS
The cyber attacks in the exercise scenario will be against U.S. Department of Defense assets only
and were primarily developed to meet Ardent Sentry 2014 exercise objectives. The results and
reporting of these attacks will be visible to the broader National Exercise Program Capstone
Exercise 2014 audience.
6.1 Cyber Operations
The Cyber operations Joint Master Scenario Events List and other exercise injects will be
developed, maintained, and delivered using the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network with
placeholder events in unclassified JOINT MASTER SCENARIO EVENTS LIST for visibility.
If you have questions on cyber operations contact the appropriate North American Aerospace
Defense Command Northern Command White Cell Controller; the number can be found in the
Control Cell Phonebook.
Background information to support cyber play:
The U.S. Northern Command mission of Defense Support to Civil Authorities has led to
increased activity by some anti-government organizations. Currently, the most vocal
organization is Free Americans against Socialist Tyranny; using social media, they advertise
anti-U.S. rhetoric focusing on the Department of Defense as well as to recruit like-minded
individuals to join their cause.
While some Free Americans against Socialist Tyranny members are capable of conducting
adverse cyber operations, the greatest threat is current government employees sympathetic to
their cause. It is believed that there are employees within US Northern Command, U.S. Air
Force, U.S. Army, National Guard, and Defense Information Systems Agency that may support
Free Americans against Socialist Tyranny doctrine based on individual comments on social
media sites. Free Americans against Socialist Tyranny sympathizers may include both former
and current members of the military with training on satellite communications, computer
network defense, network operations, as well as military command and control. Recent
reductions in force and early separation requirements have raised concern for disgruntled
military and Department of Defense civilians. Based on the possible insider threat, the below
capabilities could be compromised or targeted during military operations:
Critical commercial and Department of Defense Information Networks communications
infrastructure, especially concentration points or nodes, to amplify confusion and decapitate
the enemy control.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command Northern Command networks and
information technology infrastructure that support command operations
Critical infrastructure and single points of failure within the affected region
U.S. Northern Command plans and responses to events such as those for Defense Support to
Civil Authorities response
Means of communications to other agencies. Mark these communications means for later
attack, exploitation, and deception or denial of use.
It is believed Free Americans against Socialist Tyranny members share their techniques through
social media, public accounts as well as networks. Cyber security assessments indicate there is
126
TRUSTED AGENTS ONLY
not currently a threat nexus to the North American Aerospace Defense Command Northern
Command enclaves or mission systems. It should be noted that any illegal activity is the
responsibility of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement agencies.
Additionally, this targeting affects personnel using the Network Effects Emulation System.
Cyber security assessments do, however, indicate the possibility that North American Aerospace
Defense Command Northern Command personnel sympathetic to Free Americans against
Socialist Tyranny have targeted "pre-selected systems" on the North American Aerospace
Defense Command Northern Command Non-classified Internet Protocol Router and SIPR
Secret Internet Protocol Router Network enclaves.
Some cyber activities will be visible to all participants via the WNN or Social Media
SIMDECK sites. These activities will include accusations that the government is responsible for
the Alaska earthquake and a hacktivist manifesto.

8 MARITIME
The AMALGAM MAKO maritime scenario events were developed by Northern Command
planners to meet Ardent Sentry 2014 exercise objectives. These events will be visible to the
broader National Exercise Plan Capstone Exercise 2014 audience.
8.1 Maritime Operations
AMALGAM MAKO Event I involves a Vessel of Interest transiting from Asia, originating in
Thailand with a port call in Hong Kong before transiting the Pacific Ocean enroute to
Vancouver, British Columbia, with a subsequent scheduled port call in Seattle, Washington.
The Merchant Vessel REQUIEM, a bulk carrier, departed Thailand on February 28. It made an
intermediate stop in Hong Kong on March 10. The vessel continued to North America with
planned port calls in Vancouver, British Columbia, on April 1, and Seattle, Washington, on April
4. This is a regularly traveled route with no unusual history.
On March 26, Joint Task Force Pacific (Canada) will release a Vessel of Interest Spot Report
message to Canadian and U.S. maritime agencies indicating the Vessel of Interest has been
designated a CAT1B2. On March 27, AMALGAM MAKO 14-2 execution begins; the exercise
will begin with the vessel in the U.S. NORTHERN COMMAND Area of Responsibility
transiting at a constant speed of about 10.5 knots or less. The vessel is taking a normal path
approximating a great circle route that takes it near the Aleutian Island chain.
The vessel will continue transiting towards North America and has previously given a 96-hour
arrival notice to Canadian authorities. On March 27, the Merchant Vessel REQUIEM provides a
96-hour notice of arrival to the U.S. Coast Guard. U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Intelligence
Fusion Center/Pacific is expected to release a Vessel of Interest SPOTREP with updated
information on its U.S. arrival to the port in Seattle, Washington.
AMALGAM MAKO Event II involves a large cruise ship (owned by a major cruise line) that
collides with a merchant vessel off the coast of San Diego. The Cruise Ship SHANGRI-LA
departed Los Angeles on March 26, made port in Mazatlan, Mexico, on March 28, then arrived
in port Ensenada, Mexico, on March 29. Cruise Ship SHANGRI-LA departed Ensenada on
March 31, after 2 hours at sea, the Merchant Vessel BBC Houston collided with the cruise ship
southeast of San Clemente Island, 30 nautical miles north of the U.S./Mexico International
Border. The vessel lost propulsion, main power and rapidly began taking on water in the
starboard stern. Distress calls were made to U.S. Coast Guard that a collision occurred. The
Captain of the Cruise Ship SHANGRI-LA ordered 3,400 passengers and crew to abandon ship.
The vessel is located 60 to 70 miles from San Diego, 20 to 40 miles north of the U.S./Mexico
International Maritime Border, and approximately 30 miles southeast of San Clemente Island.
An advocacy group for U.S. military combat wounded has booked this trip for 400 service
members affected during combat operations overseas in the past decade. There are 250 spouses
and 130 children accompanying them. As part of a non-partisan national campaign to recognize
their contribution and service to America, there is a delegation of 10 Senators and Congressmen
onboard along with local General and Flag Officers from San Diego, Camp Pendleton, and Fort
Irwin. This trip has gained national media attention in an effort to raise money for Disabled
Combat Veterans Fund.

10 APPENDIX B ALASKA COMMUNITY
INFORMATION
10.1 Background
Alaska is the most active seismic area in the United States, with as many as 4,000 earthquakes,
of varying depth, annually. During the 70-year period from 1899 to 1969 eight large
earthquakes, measuring 8.0 or greater in magnitude, have rocked Alaska. Most were centered in
remote, unpopulated areas of the state and did little or no damage to the states fragile
infrastructure. The most dramatic and memorable example of these earthquakes was the 1964
Great Alaskan Earthquake. Measuring 9.2 in magnitude and centered near Alaskas most
populated areas, the earthquake caused extensive damage. In total, 131 people died as a result of
the 1964 earthquake, 115 of those deaths occurred in Alaska. Loss of life during the 1964
earthquake could have been much greater. Many attribute the low casualty numbers to time of
day; many people were on their way home from work and not still in their office buildings, while
others had the day off for the Good Friday holiday. Schools were closed and relatively few
people were in the most heavily damaged downtown Anchorage area. This seismic event left
homes twisted and destroyed and buildings in shambles, and the ensuing tsunamis
damaged/destroyed some of Alaskas coastal communities. Deaths from this earthquake were
recorded as far south as California and the affects from powerful waves caused damage to sea
side towns in Hawaii.

10.2 1964 Earthquake Background Information
10.2.1 Demographics
Pre-event Alaska population was less than 250,000.
The number of deaths from the earthquake totaled 131; 115 in Alaska and 16 in Oregon and
California. The death toll was extremely small for a quake of this magnitude due to low
population density, the time of day and the fact that it was a holiday, and the type of material
used to construct many buildings (wood). (Source: Alaska Earthquake Information Center)

11 APPENDIX C TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
After Shock A smaller earthquake that occurs after a previous large earthquake, in the same
area of the main shock. If an aftershock is larger than the main shock, the aftershock is
redesigned as the main shock and the original main shock is redesigned as a foreshock.
Deep Water Fjord A long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created by glacial erosion.
A fjord is formed when a glacier cuts a U-shaped valley by ice segregation and abrasion of the
surrounding bedrock. Glacial melting is accompanied by the rebounding of the Earths crust as
the ice load and eroded sediment is removed. Most fjords are deeper than the adjacent sea.
Federal Emergency Management Agency Region IX Federal Emergency Management
Agency Region Region 9s area of responsibility includes: Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada,
Guam, American Samoa, Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Republic of Marshall
Islands, Federated State of Micronesia, and more than 150 sovereign tribal entities.
Federal Emergency Management Agency Region Region X Federal Emergency
Management Agency Region Region 10s areas of responsibility includes: Alaska, Idaho,
Oregon, and Washington.
Inundation Maps Inundation maps translate flood data into operational maps that
communicate risk and the consequences of current and forecasted flooding.
Liquefaction Soil liquefaction is the process where soils lose sufficient strength due to
earthquake shaking, causing it to behave like a liquid.
National Tsunami Warning Center (NTWC) The NTWC is one of two tsunami warning
centers that are operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the United
States. It was called the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center (WC/ATWC) until
October 1, 2013. The name was changed to reflect its geographical zone of responsibility.
Headquartered in Palmer, Alaska, the NTWC is part of an international tsunami warning system
(TWS) program and serves as the operational center for TWS of all coastal regions of Canada
and the United States, except Hawaii, the Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico.
National Exercise Program Whole Community Whole community is an approach to
emergency management that reinforces the fact that Federal Emergency Management Agency
Region is only one part of the nations emergency management team and that all resources must
be leveraged in preparing for, protecting against, mitigating against, responding to, and
recovering from all hazards; collectively to meet the needs of the entire community.
Paws Paws is a volunteer non-profit organization based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that
provides specially trained people and dogs to assist in locating missing persons.
Shake Maps A shake map is a product of the U.S. Geological Survey Earthquake Hazards
Program in conjunction with regional seismic network operators. Shake map sites provide near-
real-time maps of ground motion and shaking intensity following significant earthquakes. These
maps are used by federal, state, and local organizations, both public and private, for post-
earthquake response and recovery, public and scientific information, as well as for preparedness
exercises and disaster planning.
Slide Tsunami A tsunami caused by an underwater landslide.
C-2
TRUSTED AGENTS ONLY
Stafford Act A U.S. federal law designed to bring an orderly and systemic means of federal
natural disaster assistance for state and local governments in carrying out their responsibilities to
aid citizens. Congress intention was to encourage states and localities to develop
comprehensive disaster preparedness plans, prepare for better intergovernmental coordination in
the face of a disaster, encourage the use of insurance coverage, and provide federal assistance
programs for losses due to a disaster.
Tsunami A series of water waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of a body of
water, generally an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater
explosions (including detonations of underwater nuclear devices), landslides, glacier calvings,
meteorite impacts, and other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate
a tsunami.
Tsunami Wave Amplitude The height of a tsunami water wave.
