This Exercise Plan (ExPlan) was produced with input, advice, and assistance from the Operation Closed Campus Exercise Planning Team, which followed guidance set forth in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP). This ExPlan gives officials, observers, media personnel, and players from participating organizations information they need to observe or participate in a school shooting/domestic terrorism response exercise that focuses on participants emergency response plans, policies, and procedures as they pertain to school shooting. The information in this document is current at the date of publication, March 21, 2011, and is subject to change as dictated by the Exercise Planning Team.

Scenario: It is a seemingly typical Friday morning. Students have arrived at school in Treynor and the initial morning activities and classes have been completed. It is approximately 10:00 a.m. and the current period has let out. Students and staff floods into the hallways and common areas of the high school. Suspect 1 approaches a small group of minorities in the northeast corner of the cafeteria. Suspect 1 begins blurting racial slurs and that he is tired of them moving in and stealing jobs and money from Americans. As the altercation is about to become physical and is noticed by a staff member, Suspect 1 pulls a handgun from his waistband, shooting one of the minority students. As chaos ensues, suspect 2 yells “the Revolution begins” and pulls out a weapon himself. The suspects begin firing upon anyone in their path and chasing down anyone who is against their ill-perceived stand as they make good on their unanswered written warnings.

You see, the DHS wants to practice up on all of you Bible thumping, gun toting racists out there....

After hearing this old song, I always knew that Pottawattamie County must be a rowdy place.

Now arnold jones an` marybeth jensen`s in a `vette down by the deep rock
Had john denver on the 8-track, gettin` high
Marybeth`s wig was on the floor
An` arnold`s feet was out the door
When we shined our flashlight in arnold`s startled eyes
I says “what chew doin` boy?
Don`t chew know that`s against the law?
We just gonna hafta get this situation under control
Now my name is fairweather lewis an` this here`s willard clark
We the pottawattamie county love patrol.”

Then two hippies in a chevy`s puffin` grass an` sippin` wine
`bout fourteen mile south-east a` council bluffs
They`s passin` `round the peace-pipe
When we caught `em with our flashlight
An` willard`s hairy hands applied the cuffs.
I says, “boys you got some trouble
You committin` herb-i-cide.
We just gonna hafta get this situation under control
`cause i`m fairweather lewis, an` this here`s willard clark
We the pottawattamie county weed patrol.”

Then we spied ol` marvin kline a-headin` south on twenty-nine
Like a midnight auto ac-cessory store on wheels
His trunk was full a` hub caps
An` his back seat full a` tires
When we picked him up and made him spread his heels
I says, “hands up-on the wall, boy
You allowed t` make one call
We just gonna hafta get this situation under control
Cause, see, i`m fairweather lewis, an` this here`s willard clark
We the pottawattamie county rip-off patrol.”

Then orval hinkle left the go-go club on his brand-new motor-sickle
Runnin` stop-lights, raisin` hell an` causin` accidents
His brain was doin` wheelies
An` his blood was three-two beer
When we nailed him in his driveway at his residence
I says, “orval, you`re in trouble boy
But if you`ll blow this here balloon up
We gonna get your situation under control
Now i`m captain fairweather lewis an` this here`s willard clark
We the pottawattamie county juice patrol.”

Then we`s passin` by the dew drop inn when he heard this woman scream
So we pulled on in an` parked an` got the guns out
Well we bashed on through the lobby into unit seventeen
There`s twenty-eight folks in there without no clothes on.
I says “everbody up against the wall; show us yer identification.
We just gonna definitely get this situation under control
`cause my name is fairweather lewis, an` this here`s willard clark
We the pottawattamie county sin patrol.”

C`mon, willard, let`s go sneakin` `round in the dark some more, never know what yer gonna find.
