Noble Resolve
Noble Resolve is a United States Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) experimentation campaign plan to enhance homeland defense and improve military support to civil authorities in advance of and following natural and man-made disasters. The Noble Resolve campaign will: prevent, and defeat threats and aggression aimed at the U.S., its territories, and interests. The U.S. Army and USJFCOM wargame Unified Quest 2006 determined the need for homeland defense experimentation. In 2006, U.S. Joint Forces Command explored the Department of Homeland Security’s scenario for an unaccounted for, "loose," 10 kiloton nuclear weapon. A number of research questions for  further experimentation and resolution were identified. To answer these questions, USJFCOM established an evolving Noble Resolve experiment campaign plan which started execution in April 2007 and continue over the next couple of years. This campaign is conducted by using discussions, computer-aided modeling and simulation and seminars. Participants include:
