Russian assault forces will head to Colorado in May to train with U.S. soldiers. The magazine said the training exercises had been publicized in a variety of Russian media for weeks.

The exercises will include a raid on a fictional terrorist camp:

The Russian soldiers are here as invited guests of the U.S. government; this is part of a formal bilateral exchange program between the U.S. and Russia that seeks to develop transparency and promote defense reform," Cmdr. Wendy L. Snyder, U.S. Defense Press Officer for policy, told The New American in an e-mail. "This is the first time that American and Russian special operations troops have participated in a bilateral exercise."

According to Snyder, the exercises — which she said would last about three weeks in all — will serve to train and improve skills related to terror-war fighting. About 20 Russian soldiers will be participating, with most of the training to take place on the Fort Carson, Colorado, Army base and a mountain training area several hours away.

"Aside from typical military training, the exchange will include discussions on the rule of land warfare, developing appropriate rules of engagement, and employing cultural literacy and competency in the tactical environment," Snyder explained. "This type of training is routinely conducted by 10th Special Forces Group

Apparently there are plans being made to evacuate Chicago due to a nuclear threat of some kind also.  Naturally this is being called a "simulation" and "exercise" at this point...
