Here are two mainstream news articles from Colorado that say three states in the US and two provinces in Canada are going to be involved in a government training exercise that spans the northern continent. The government of both the US and Canada are gearing up for an attack from land, sea, and air...and putting a high emphasis on intelligence.

The drill will last for five days. The types of threats covered in the drills will include bombs, nukes, and chemical attacks. Staying one step ahead of the adversary is the key.

Colonel Gene Pino is the Director of Training and Exercises at Peterson Air Force Base, "We are at war with a smart thinking enemy and we must continue to stay just as smart and think just as hard about these events as they do, when we stop doing that, I think that's when we'll be in danger."

"Every one of these events is built on a very strong intelligence platform. It starts to work with the synchronization, the sharing of information, the integration of information all the way up to the national level to ensure we are posed and poised to engage a threat," said Col. Gene Pino.
