EXCLUSIVE: INSIDE THE MILITARY'S TOP SECRET PLANS IF CORONAVIRUS CRIPPLES THE GOVERNMENT
BY WILLIAM M. ARKIN ON 3/18/20 AT 7:00 AM EDT
But Coronavirus is also new territory, where the military itself is vulnerable and the disaster scenarios being contemplated -- including the possibility of widespread domestic violence as a result of food shortages -- are forcing planners to look at what are called "extraordinary circumstances".

(16,692 posts)That expression always makes me question the source. Top Secret is a classification level. There's nothing "above " it. After that, it's more of a case of just exactly who is "cleared" to have access. There are special clearances for various types of information.

These scenarios are about if all hell brakes loose. Basically they are for when the alternative is chaos and anarchy.
