Night Watch Team: STUTTGART - U.S. European Command started a simulation exercise Oct. 31. Known as Flexible Response, the exercise began with a series of notional explosions on a number of military installations in Europe. [Solon Group]

Flexible Response '06 tests EUCOM's command and control structure in the event of multiple attacks with weapons of mass destruction in Europe. This computer-assisted exercise focuses on the command's ability to rapidly coordinate response between U. S. military, host nations and other U. S. government agencies.

Marine Col. Jeff Satterfield, chief of EUCOM's Joint Training, Readiness and Exercises Division, said that since this is a computer-assisted exercise involving behind-the-scenes coordination with no acutal forces responding, the public will not notice increased activity.

The exercise consists of four phases. The first three phases, already conducted, included academic sessions to prepare the various staffs for the final phase, which focuses on the U. S. and her allies's ability to coordinate the emergency response.

The exercise ends Nov. 4.

Editor: EUCOM should have the notion that Tehran is planing those explosions and attack Iran first. It will reduce the impact of the rest of the war.
