Ask yourself why it may be advantageous to jam GPS is a war scenario,
and just how GPS is likely to be used by both sides.
Then consider how it may be done in a sensible manner, how to avoid
excessive fratricide and why excercises such as these may have to be
performed.

Ask yourself why Selective Availability was removed some years ago.

May like to also wonder if the substation located at exactly that
specified location could have anything to do with the exercise.
