ANNEX a TO JCS/FEMA EXPLAN NINE LIVES {U) EXERCISE SCENARIO (U)

d. ( U) GtNERAL

.a. (OJ the scenario for Exercise NINE LIVES consists of

two major parts• ·±he Background Scenario and the Control

Staff lnst~uctions (COSIN) Chronology.

/b. (U) The Background Scenario is a summary of the

worldwide situation prior to STARTEX, It provides

players an overview of the world situation as.it affects

their region or field of operations and is the rationale

for the ~ajority of prescrlpted exercise controlled

events.

,.c. {U) The Chronology, distributed for controllers' eyes

only as an annex to the Control Staff Instruction (COSINJ,

is a programmed sequence of events, injected into exercise

play by the controllers. These events are designed to

trigger players' response/action •.

·d. (C} Appe~ix I contains the intelligence Background

Scenario for NINE LIVES. The political and military

situations provided by the scenario do not reflect

rfficial intelligence estimates of existing real-world

{conditions, trendsl or problems~ nor are they to be

interpreted as projections of future international

developments.. The scena.rio has bee,n devise--:\ to portray

hypothetical situation in the world which requires us \

military forces and governmenta~ agencies to implement

appropriate plans and exercise procedures.
