Operation Northern Exposure will include over 1,000 Michigan National Guard soldiers and will be the first time in history that local authorities have worked with the National Guard.

According to WoodTV.com, the drill will use a city landfill as the site for the simulated dirty bomb attack and a middle school for the "decontamination center."

"The public may notice more military vehicles in the area, as well as helicopters bringing crews to and from the sites, but the general public won't be impacted. Local officials said traffic in the area won't be affected."
