Thanks for the reply. I would have loved to have been part of this exercise. It sounded pretty cool from all that I've read in the press releases.
Unless you are command and control or perhaps a pilot, the people involved in these excersizes don't usually see much. I was a microwave radio tech, and my orders usually went something like..."You guys go to these coordinates(usually a hilltop) and set up a link with these freqs over to that hilltop over there. You will need to set up a defensive perimeter, as we may or may not send up an Opposition Force to neutralize you."
Then we would sit there for 2 weeks playing cards. Once in awhile we even saw an airplane. It was probably either protecting us or taking us out (we usually didn't even know until after the excersize.)
