>>What if it interferes with getting to that last Patriot battery and then a missile strike kills 50?

It shouldn't. Putting a weapon in condition 1 take about 1 second. Field stripping and lubing it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes for a rear area unit.

I wonder what their schedule was for that day.

Also, riding in a convoy in dusty conditions in trucks, it would seem to me that it would only take a few minute to redirty the guns. Maybe I'm wrong though.
