U.S. Army North Soldiers and civilians arrive at the Indianapolis International Airport July 12 and prepare to deploy to Camp Atterbury, Ind., to provide defense support in an exercise scenario based on the unthinkable — a 10-kiloton nuclear weapon exploding in a major U.S. city. Approximately 92 people from Joint Task Force – 51, Army North, based at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, augmented by disaster response personnel from the Army Reserve, Army National Guard, Air Force, Navy, Marines and others, set up a tactical operations center and began orchestrating a military support operation involving an initial 2,200 personnel from around the U.S. The force structure is projected to grow to 3,300 personnel by the end of the two-week exercise.
