SUBJECT: CRISIS MANAGEMENT EXERCISE MISSION ITALY -
DECEMBER 14 and 16, 2005.



1. (SBU) Mission Italy will host an unclassified Crisis
Management Exercise (CME) on December 14 at Turin, Italy and
December 16, at American Embassy Rome. The exercise will be
facilitated by Douglas Kinney, Crisis Management Training
Division, Leadership and Management School, Foreign Service
Institute. The purpose of this special Mission Italy CME is
to exercise crisis planning and execution by Mission Italy,
including the Olympics Security Coordination team in Turin
consisting of members of DSS, FBI, DOD, FEST,POL/MIL, and
non-security members of the Olympics Coordination team
(Consular, Public Affairs)under the direction of Consul
General Milan, and Rome's Emergency Action Committee.


2. (SBU) Security participants in Turin are expected to be
the actual agency operational personnel who will be assigned
to the USG Olympics Security Coordination (OSC) team in
Turin during the Winter Olympics. The following agencies
are asked to have a representative on hand for the Turin
exercise as those elements will plan a role in the day to
day operations of the Turin Operations and Threat
Integration Center. Due to the limited size of this exercise
and other constraints, each agency may provide only the
following number of persons; DSS (2),FBI (2) , FEST (4),
DOD (EUCOM) (2),Pol/Mil (1) ,TSA (1) ,OSAC (1),NGA (1)
DOE (1),DOJ (1),NSA (1),USSS (1),and NCTC (1) . Due to
the structure of the exercise in Turin, not all contributing
agencies will be required to sit at the OSC Command Group
Table but will be expected to be on hand and available to
the OSC Command Group for consultation and taskings.
Security agencies are asked not to send non-participating
supervisors or office directors as observers, as the
security aspect of this exercise is designed specifically
for USG Olympics Security Coordination team members who will
be present in an operational capacity during the 2006 Winter
Games. The non-security members of the USG Olympics Coordination
team planning to be present in Turin for the Winter Olympics
will constitute the rest of the players in Turin.


3. (SBU) American Embassy Rome's Emergency Action Committee
will participate from Rome for the Turin exercise on
December 14 as will Turin for the Rome exercise on December
16, 2005. Consulate General Milan's EAC, staffed according
to the plans during the Turin Olympics, will participate
from Milan. American Embassy Rome will have ultimate
operational control for all aspects of this exercise.


4. (SBU) For that part of the exercise conducted in Rome on
December 16, Rome's Emergency Action Committee will handle a
series of incidents affecting Mission Italy, focused on
threats in Rome and including Olympic-related events, with
Turin's Olympic team participating from Turin.

Requests for country clearance must be sent to American
Embassy Rome.
