Nov 4-6 Communications Interoperability Training

I do not see anything on the DOD website, however ARRL has this webpage:

The DOD has, apparently, announced a CME simulation blackout drill.

Will the power grid be down, also?

This article gave me some concern:

I found out this simulation was planned over the past year, and is strictly a simulation.
