Next three entries of timeline used from same source cited in my post 36
Around 12:30 a.m. (6:30 p.m. ET): The Pentagon issues an order to a special operations team in Europe to move to Sigonella, Sicily – less than one hour’s flight away from Benghazi. Over the next three hours an additional special operations team based in the U.S. is ordered to deploy to Sigonella. Neither arrived in time.
1:00 a.m. (7 p.m. ET): The first of two unmanned U.S. Predator DRONES, which already had been flying over eastern Libya, is diverted to Benghazi, as reported by CBS News’ Sharyl Attkisson and David Martin on Oct. 15.
1:30 a.m. (7:30 p.m. ET): A U.S. security team from Embassy Tripoli lands in Benghazi and learn that the ambassador is missing. They try to arrange for transportation into town, with the goal of locating Stevens.

PS: That last entry isn’t quite correct. They knew Stevens was missing. The security team from Tripoli (who had chartered a private plane) landed in Benghazi at 1am, but they were DETAINED at Benghazi Airport for THREE HOURS.
According to several reports, Stevens was taken to Benghazi Hosp at 1am (Benghazi time). It is not clear if hospital knew immediately who the patient was or at what time it was reported to Washington that Stevens was in the hospital. Doctors worked on him for 45 min and pronounced him dead.
At some point in time the Tripoli team purposed to go to hospital to claim Steven’s body but could not because the hospital was surrounded with Al Qaeda. They went to the Annex instead, where Doherty (and Woods, who was already there) lost his life.
IIRC, these facts are established, but timeline needs firmed up on these points.
So many moving parts, but getting an accurate timeline has been nearly impossible.
Here’s a good clear example of Biden notetaking/handwriting...
I’d post the pic but it’s AP.
Have you seen “Update 4” at the original story link...
Notice the timeline moving forward from here...
“11 p.m. (5 p.m. ET): Just ahead of the weekly meeting with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Chairman of Joint Chiefs Martin Dempsey, White House National Security Advisor Tom Donilon tells President Obama of the attack and the fire at the main villa. The president is updated several times throughout the evening.”
