This Guard exercise trains for hypersonic missile attacks on major US cities (1 Aug 2022)
In a simulated training exercise, hypersonic missiles strike New York City, Chicago and Philadelphia near simultaneously, spreading unknown contaminants across these major metropolitan areas. A group of more than 400 military members and another 150 local, state and federal emergency workers flood into Philadelphia where the “strike” has collapsed Lincoln Financial Field structures and derailed a train at the CSX railyard, which triggered a chlorine leak that’s spreading fast.

Hundreds of military members and emergency workers gathered in Philadelphia last week to simulate the aftermath of a simultaneous hypersonic missile strike on Philadelphia, New York City and Chicago, according to the Army Times. The Dense Urban Terrain (DUT) exercise imagines a hypothetical scenario the military calls “America’s worst day.” Emergency workers and soldiers aided at least 150 role players sporting fake wounds and acting out potential symptoms from an unknown chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear (CBRN) attack.

The DUT exercise was led by Army National Guard’s Task Force 46, which mainly includes soldiers from the Michigan National Guard. Over 600 additional personnel from federal, state, local, academic and private partners took part in the three-day exercise, according to the Guard.

In addition to running through scenarios that included rescuing role players trapped in collapsed buildings or subways following hypersonic missile attacks, troops and emergency workers used detection and decontamination gear to deal with the aftermath of a potential CBRN fallout.
