The NY Times article, Re-evaluation of National Security Orderedpoints to her criticisms of the exercise following her participation in T4 (another shortened version of the name that you can now forget).
Having participated in the design and conduct of T2 I can understand some of her frustrations. What some senior people do not understand is that most of the benefit of doing an exercise is in the "getting ready" for the event. I used exercises as a way to engage people and organizations that I normally would have a tough time reaching, if it were not for the exercise.
And, we do need a NLE that allows all the levels of government to participate simultaneously without levels of government being simulated as an exercise artificiality.
