Description

A document entitled "NORAD Exercises Hijack Summary" from the 9/11 Commission's files. It lists air defense training exercises involving hijackings for approximately four years before 9/11.

The exercises included a version of 'Vigilant Guardian' in which a suicide hijack targeting New York took place two days before 9/11; the document details 9 versions of Vigilant Guardian which took place the week before 9/11, all of which involve hijacking. A version on 9/6/01 involved a shoot-down by fighter jets.

The document is from the Neads Trip 2 of 3 folder, Box 20, Team 8 files, Miles Kara Work Files series.

On his blog, Miles Kara confirmed that he created the document, saying it is "one of many work papers I created during my work on the 9-11 Commission Staff" and "The document was prepared to list what we knew about exercises before we traveled to NORAD Headquarters."
