A curious scenario from a National Guard exercise.

I just found this and I have to say the scenario for this command post exercise is revealing. The fact the objective media calls the scenario "timely" is to be expected. Don't confuse them with the facts.

Mock Disaster Training Exercise in Scioto County

PORTSMOUTH, Ohio (WSAZ) -- A dead science teacher, weapons of mass destruction, first responders in hazmat suits and the Ohio Army National Guard all near the Municipal Stadium in Portsmouth, Thursday. There's no cause for alarm -- this is just a drill!

The mock disaster training exercise is being done with Scioto County first responders and the Ohio Army National Guard 52nd Civil Support Unit.

"It's the reality of the world we live in," says Portsmouth Police Chief Bill Raisin. "Don't forget there is such a thing as domestic terrorism. This helps us all be prepared."

The make-believe scenario is timely. Two school employees who are disgruntled over the government's interpretation of the Second Amendment, plot to use chemical, biological and radiological agents against members of the local community.scenario "timely" is to be expected. Don't confuse them with the facts.

Now the fact a National Guard unit is training for handling a local law enforcement is not troubling. They are a state asset (unless mobilized) and can be used for a police function. But the scenario is unrealistic. It would more likely be Ted Kaczynski or Rebecca Rubin, not right wing agitators. But again, don't confuse these people with the facts. And using a more realist enemy may make for better training, but it's not allowed right now.
