Vermont was designated as the Army Schoolhouse for Information Operations by the National Security Agency. Atomic Tangerine reportedly supports a new US military cyber warfare training center on the campus of Norwich University, a military college that was recently named an NSA Information Security Education "Center of Excellence." The new cyber warfare center, which is officially run by the Vermont National Guard appears to be a future (and very secretive) training center for US and foreign military and government computer hackers.
