This article seems pretty thin to me. I think more should be added on the context of the exercises, along with sections on the units and equipment employed as well as logistics (i.e., which bases were used, etc.)
As a minor point, the US and Canadian air forces are not "air forces of the North American Aerospace Defense Command"

this article gives a bit more details on the cancelled 2014 exercises. I don't know if airforce-technology.com has been vetted at all for reliability, but presumably that information is available elsewhere if we decide the site is not good enough.
The citation for the cancelled 2014 exercises mentions that Japan would have taken part for the first time - this should be included as well.
This article gives some details on the 2013 exercises.
Parsecboy - I made these changes. On the airforce-technology reference, I found KTUU-TV as the original source of the report and cited it instead so there would be not future question as to the RS.
