[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1933455, member: 42"] Yup...nature of the business. Family members that don't understand the business are the worst rumor mongers out there. The military runs/works off op plans. I'm sure there are more than a few op plans out there that involve various scenarios in response to an attack on a NATO partner. Ground support? Mobilize XXX units. Air Support? Mobilize XXX units. Combined support? Mobilize XXX units. Most of the time the "Warning Order" comes well in advance of an "Execute Order" and commanders are notorious for doing what we called "Leaning Forward"....in other words packing up all their crap and telling troops to "get ready" before they've even received a Warning Order. Leaning Forward doesn't mean a Warning Order is coming. A Warning Order doesn't mean an Execute Order is coming. An Execute Order doesn't mean you'll even make it to your port of embarkation before the whole damn thing gets cancelled. [/QUOTE]
