From another site, ex-mil member posted this, I'd ping people but I can't remember who was interested, probably most would be:

Oh, the warning orders went out yesterday. Sources on the ground confirmed that for me last night.

But the .mil is s o s l o w to get moving any more. I'm glad I don't have to deal with it personally any more. For example, the 82nd Airborne is supposedly the nation's contingency force, with a brigade supposedly ready to deploy in hours. But there are no C-130s at Pope any more, so they have to SEND OUT for aircraft.

Suppose you called an ambulance and they had to get one sent over from the next state....

“It would be helpful to continue a direct dialog with the U.S. President on the sidelines of international events that are scheduled to take place in the near future, in Paris, for example,” Putin said Tuesday at the Kremlin, RT reported.

The suggestion comes as U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton is in Moscow to meet with the Russian defense minister and also Putin, who made the comment while speaking with Bolton, RT reported.

Bolton reportedly then told Putin that Trump “would be glad” to have a meeting in Paris.

The White House nor Trump have confirmed that the President would meet with Putin.

The two leaders last met in July at a summit in Helsinki, Finland.

This isn’t a contingency force op, the ‘caravan’ ain’t going anywhere, there is time. Getting aircraft if they are @ Pope or not has the same process. Having them @ Pope wouldn’t change the reaction time much if at all.
