National Anti Terrorism Exercises (NATEXs) also known as National Counter Terrorism Exercises (NCTE) are an exercise program involving the Australian Federal Government and all States and Territories.〔()〕 Australia’s national anti-terrorist arrangements are well practised with two major NATEXs held annually.〔() 〕 The Attorney General's Department manages the Counter-Terrorism Branch (CTB) which supports the National Counter-Terrorism Committee (NCTC) who run the exercise program.〔() 〕 The program includes discussion exercises, tactical response exercises, investigation and consequence management exercises and multi-jurisdictional exercises.〔()〕 Such incidents practised include recapturing buildings, freeing hostages, cordoning off areas or responding to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or explosive attack. NATEX exercises of various types are run and tested several times per year testing various elements of the Australian Defence Force such as the Tactical Assault Group (West & East), Special Operations Command (Australia) and Incident Response Regiment. Exercises involve various elements of State/Territory Police Forces such as their respective Police Tactical Group and various intelligence agencies and units such as ASIO.〔() 〕 As well as involving various elements of the Federal Government exercises also test the capability, co-ordination and response of the State/Territory Government, State Emergency Services, the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department, the Australian Defence Force, the Australian Federal Police and other Commonwealth agencies. Exercises are tailored to prepare for specific events such as the 2000 Sydney Olympic games, 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games and the 2007 Sydney APEC forum. ==Types of exercises== The National Counter Terrorism Co-ordination Centre maintains what is known as the 'National Exercise Program'. This program involves a range of tactical, operational and strategic level exercises, which are conducted on a rotational basis throughout all Australian States and Territories.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Anti-terrorism exercise to test Melbourne's underground rail network )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tasmania tests terrorism response )〕 There are four main counter terrorism exercises conducted under the NCTC National Exercise Program:〔()〕 * MJEX (Multi-Jurisdictional Exercise) * ICMEX (Investigation and Consequence Management Exercise) * TACREX (Tactical Response Exercise) * DISCEX (Discussion Exercise) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Anti Terrorism Exercise」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
