For milcom monitors in the Empire State -- Vigilant Guard will begin November 1!
Vigilant Guard is an annual joint civilian and military response exercise which allows civilian and military first-responders to practice life-saving skills.
The scenario this year is a national earthquake and the week-long exercise will be held at the Spaulding Fiber Plant in Tonawanda, NY November 1-6.
It gets a bit hectic, so it will not be open directly to the public but civilian media are invited and encouraged to come.
