Thank you from an ops point of view. I guess, a larger issue would be rounding up civilians. Certainly our guys would hustle within minutes and be on board. BTW... My perceptio is the USGS boys would have seen the reader measurements going 8-9... and have located the epicenter. Using simple trig, they could have tri-angulated the forecast in direction and velocity of affected areas. Then, the Navy would have immediate, if not concurrent calculus, and issued orders that they dee fit based upon our troops and civilians. Am I sort of right on this logical asessment?
Come back with your response. I am a cause, and effect, planner, thinker.
BTW, Merry Christmas. And if y'all don't like it, I'll have to shoot ya. (kidding). Series, If I don't hear from you by 01 Jan 2005, Have a Tee-rific New Year's .. Year.
I am certain that Washington would let them know about the earthquake and Tsunnami -- our government tried to issue warnings but other governments did not have provisions for it.
Anything to evacuate the base would have to be down with approval on the command chain, and certainly they would have some sort of communication way before they needed to start evacuating.
But there can always be a SNAFU.
