Redstone Arsenal personnel can expect some interruptions to the workday on Wednesday, Aug. 25.
Thatâs because the Arsenal will be completing a full-scale exercise, a simulated emergency scenario designed to test and evaluate emergency response procedures. Tameline Black, a Garrison emergency management specialist and lead exercise planner, said this yearâs simulation will be a severe weather event.
Full-scale exercises occur every 18-24 months in accordance with the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program and are designed with the installationâs most likely threats in mind. The installationâs response will be evaluated by representatives from Installation Management Command.
The exercise will not only impact Redstone Arsenal tenants â Black said community stakeholders will also be involved, including Madison County EMA, Huntsville Utilities and HEMSI.

In a blockbuster 1997 film
Wag the Dog, Robert De Niro plays a fixer extraordinaire who’s summoned to the White House after a potential front-page scandal threatens to sink the president’s reelection. To deflect attention away from this controversy, De Niro and Hollywood producer Dustin Hoffman plan a fake war, or pageant, as they call it.
As De Niro famously quipped, “We’re not going to have a war. We’re going to have the
appearance of a war.” Playing on this sentiment, director Barry Levinson stressed, “We’re reaching a point where it’s no longer easy to differentiate between what’s fabricated and what’s real.”
