On the original 2001 National War College's Homeland Security webpage outlining their courses [which were scheduled to begin on 9-11-2001]... there was a nondescript course scheduled to begin Nov 6 right before the "Dark Winter" courses were scheduled to begin...
Here is that overview I copied from that original website back in 2001:
Topic Nine
CURRENT INITIATIVES
Tuesday
6 November 2001
1530-1730
Homeland security is a rapidly evolving mission. Major changes in programs and policies have occurred in less than a few months. Depending upon current initiatives in Congress, the Administration and the Pentagon, the specific topic for this class period will be assigned on week seven.
All readings required for this topic will be provided directly to the students on week seven.
Topics Ten
Eleven & Twelve
DARK WINTER
Tuesday
13, 20, 27 November 2001
1530-1730
DARK WINTER is an exercise originally designed to highlight the challenges that Federal and state leaders would face during a major attack on the American homeland. Several scenarios were examined, but the exercise developers, the ANSER Institute for Homeland Security and the Johns Hopkins Center for Civilian Biodefense Studies, decided that a bioattack during an international crisis and overseas military deployment would best demonstrate the deficiencies and fault lines. Many homeland defense/security exercises focus on consequence management. DARK WINTER creates a situation where senior leaders must face the challenges of crisis management, consequence management and international response in parallel, not sequence.
Goals and Objectives:
· Consider impact of a biological attack on US national security
· Examine State and Federal reaction to a crisis that is simultaneously local, national, and global in scope
· Evaluate life and death decisions in a resource constrained environment
· Address information management needs and the role of the media
· Handle ethical, political, cultural, economic, operational and legal challenges
Students will be assigned roles during week four and will need to research the various public laws, policies, doctrines, assets and capabilities of the organizations they will represent during the exercise.
Required Readings:
Federal Response Plan:

Right after 9-11, I copied the website's info [partly pasted below] and posted it on several forums. But as usual, I received no meaningful response.

As I was watching TV news this morning about the draconian covid lockdowns in California... once again I heard the recently oft repeated term, "Dark Winter". As I have posted here, the original 2001 National War College's Homeland Security terrorism course was scheduled to begin on September 11, 2001... and the last part of the course, entitled, "Dark Winter" included a bioterrorism attack.
After 9-11, I compared the 9-11 attack to Rev 18's fall of Babylon. Interestingly, Rev 18:2 - Babylon is fallen, is fallen - infers a twin fall, a similitude to the WTC [WORLD TRADE CENTER] twin towers. But there may be an even greater similitude. If 9-11 was the beginning first fall... maybe "Dark Winter" is the final fall of Babylon! Rev 18 also puts great emphasis on the global economic fallout of the fall of Babylon which is happening today due to the covid lockdowns and forced repeated and prolonged closing of businesses.

Fauci as Gestapo chief: Regime will “mandate” COVID vaccines if “hardcore group” of patriots continue refusing the jab
(Natural News) Last year when then-President Donald Trump's "Operation Warp Speed" was producing three new COVID-19 vaccines in record time, the nation's chief immunologist, Dr. Anthony Fauci, was among several Democrats who claimed, truthfully, that the federal government had no authority to mandate them.
