Answer 1

The special military training exercise that was held in Utah was Atomic Bomb detonation training. In the 1950s, the US government conducted several nuclear tests in Nevada and Utah as part of the Atomic Energy Commission's (AEC) nuclear weapons testing program. These tests included Operation Upshot-Knothole in 1953, which involved the detonation of several atomic bombs in the Nevada Test Site, and Operation Teapot in 1955, which included the testing of new nuclear weapons designs in the Utah Test and Training Range.
