Able Archer 83 was a ten-day North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) command post exercise starting on November 2, 1983,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Able Archer 83 Sourcebook )〕 that spanned Western Europe, centered on the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) Headquarters in Casteau, north of the city of Mons. Able Archer exercises simulated a period of conflict escalation, culminating in a simulated DEFCON 1 coordinated nuclear attack. The exercise also introduced a new, unique format of coded communication, radio silences, and the participation of heads of government. The realistic nature of the 1983 exercise, coupled with deteriorating relations between the United States and the Soviet Union and the anticipated arrival of Pershing II nuclear missiles in Europe, led some members of the Soviet Politburo and military to believe that Able Archer 83 was a ruse of war, obscuring preparations for a genuine nuclear first strike.〔〔Andrew and Gordievsky, ''Comrade Kryuchkov's Instructions'', 85–7.〕〔Beth Fischer, ''Reagan Reversal'', 123, 131.〕〔Pry, ''War Scare'', 37–9.〕 In response, the Soviets readied their nuclear forces and placed air units in East Germany and Poland on alert.〔Oberdorfer, ''A New Era'', 66.〕〔''SNIE 11–10–84'' "Implications of Recent Soviet Military-Political Activities" Central Intelligence Agency, May 18, 1984.〕 The apparent threat of nuclear war ended with the conclusion of the exercise on November 11.〔Andrew and Gordievsky, ''Comrade Kryuchkov’s Instructions'', 87–8.〕〔Pry, ''War Scare'', 43–4.〕 Some historians have since argued that Able Archer 83 was one of the times when the world has come closest to nuclear war since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Others argue the only incident that brought the world closer to such a war was the Norwegian rocket incident of 1995. ==Prelude to NATO exercise==
