Military Assault Training Exercise on American Civilians Called Off

Following objections that the Army National Guard was planning a military training exercise on the streets of Arcadia, Iowa, the commanding officers have called off the mock “invasion.”

The Guard had planned a four-day urban military operation, sending troops to take over the town and search door-to-door for a suspected weapons dealer.
