Scenarios

Atlantic Storm
January 14, 2005

Atlantic Storm simulated a bioterrorist attack on the nations of the transatlantic community. During this "table-top" exercise, former prime ministers and other senior government officials from the transatlantic community played the roles of the heads of government of their respective nations. (Available online: background information, conference materials, and the after-action report.)

Dark Winter
June 22-23, 2001

The Dark Winter exercise portrayed a fictional scenario depicting a covert smallpox attack on U.S. citizens. The scenario is set in three successive National Security Council (NSC) meetings which take place over 2 weeks. Former senior government officials played the roles of NSC members; media representatives were among the observers and played journalists during the mock press conferences. The exercise was held at Andrews Air Force Base, Washington, D.C. (Available online: background information, participant list, the Dark Winter script, briefing materials, and several articles.)
