Not based on reality
Vigilant Warrior was an operation from 1994. Clark probably misspoke and said Vigilant Warrior rather than Vigilant Guardian. This is understandable a Clark most likely had a big role in Viglant Warrior with Bush Sr.
Northern Vigilance and Vigilant Guardian are the same exercises. As both took place at NORAD in Colorado, either the names have been mixed up or they were two difference parts of the same training exercise.
At ant rate it seems Vigilant Guardian, Northern Vigilance, and Vigilant Warrior are in reality one training exercise.
The reference to the term Northern Guardian in the Toronto Star, December 9, 2001 is BS. It does not exist.
So we most likely have one exercise at NORAD.
So (From the above link.)
An hour into his shift, something unscripted happens. NORAD's Northeast Air Defence Sector (NEADS), based in Rome, N.Y., contacts the mountain.
The Federal Aviation Administration has evidence of a hijacking and is asking for NORAD support. This is not part of the exercise.
In a flash, Operation Northern Vigilance is called off. Any simulated information, what's known as an "inject," is purged from the screens.
Someone shouted to look at the monitor displaying CNN.
"At that point, we saw the World Trade Center, one of the towers, smoke coming out of it. And a minute later, we watched the live feed as the second aircraft swung around into the second tower," says Jellinek.
He had one question for the people on the line from NEADS: "Was that the hijacked aircraft you were dealing with?" he asked.
Yes, it was, came the reply.
The folks at NORAD did not even know about the attack until the first plane hit. This makes sense as NORAD is tasked with monitoring incoming air space not the airspace in the USA. Someone had to call them to let them know what was happening. Once they knew, they canceled the exercise and attempted to figure out what to do. No one at NORAD seemed to be confused between the exercise and the real attack. There is a reason for this NORAD does not have any reason to hold exercises simulating an internal attack.

The NRO “war game” is amusing to say the least. The scenario calls for a small plane to crash into the building and folks have to figure out what exits to take. I can really see how this was critical to the 9/11 plot going off without a hitch LOL.
The biowar exercise in New York is also pretty amusing when one tries to imply that it was useful for the “inside” terrorists. How having FEMA in town with the attacks occurring before the exercise started seem to have no bearing on the ability to pull off 9/11. If anyone can tell me please speak up.

In summary
There was one NORAD exercise on 9/11 not three. Not exactly amazing as NORAD holds training exercises all the time. Because NORAD watches for attacks form the outside-in they don’t even know we are under attack until someone calls them. Once they know they scrap the exercise.
The NRO exercise is an evacuation drill that tests the employee’s reaction if some stairwells are closed. The folks at the NRO are so important that everyone except those critical to the operation are let go after the attacks.
The biowar training did not take place and I hope one of you 9/11 investigators can tell me how having a bunch of FEMA guys and first reponders in NYC is critical to the attacks happening, please let the world know.
