Alaska — Military units from South Korea and Japan joined U.S. flyers at Elmendorf Air Force base for war games.

The cannon can rain “non-line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight” shell fire on distant objects, using targeting data it obtains from other vehicles developed under the program......The drill will simulate a train emergency in the subway requiring the coordinated response of PATCO and emergency units from Camden, along with the evacuation of passengers from the train.
The drill will require PATCO to suspend operations between approximately 8:30 a.m. and 11a.m. Full service will resume in time for those who plan to ride PATCO to the Phillies game that afternoon..
