Summary The CAW's East Coast Initiative 2008 is designed to enhance the state of Maine's and Virginia's coordination and response capabilities to a WMD event through a complex, scenario-based exercise, utilizing the experience and unique capabilities of the U.S. Navy's Center for Asymmetric Warfare (CAW).
