Cytel Group, Inc., a Department of Homeland Security training coordinator headquartered near Oakland, California, is the training agency with the contract to do the exercise.

According to a Cytel Group, the company organized the same type of operation at Boston, just previous to the marathon bombing: http://www.cytelgroup.com (click here to see the company's website)

How much does a multi-state, multi-year, multi-agency operation like Urban Shield cost taxpayers? That's classified, but here's a clue. According to a recent article about the U.S. Senate, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's whiskey-making state of Kentucky realizes about $1.00 for every 0.66 cents paid in federal taxes across the board. Go figure.

If in need of personal guidance, refer to Mr. James Madison's master work, the “Bill of Rights,” the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution:
