The Delaware Army National Guard's 153rd Military Police Company joined soldiers of the Army Central Forces Command-Saudi Arabia in a three-day readiness exercise designed to test the responsiveness of the Eskan Village emergency responders. The lane training, developed in accordance with the Eight-step Training Model, presented three scenarios to the training soldiers, one new scenario each day.

Day one's exercise included a terrorist-controlled bus crashing into the main gate of the installation. A bomb aboard the bus subsequently exploded. Day two featured a chemical attack and responders operated in MOPP 4. And day three included a Scud launch, terrorist breach into the installation, and a sniper attack - all while incorporating civilian media trying to cover the story.
