It was also known the NV had captured US man pack radios. These where used to monitor military communications. There were versions with encryption, but were extremely bulky.

It might be a secret credit card number to use, billed direct to the government, when ordering out a pizza for deliver.

Happened a couple days ago.

I tend to be skeptical when folks make assumptions without and evidence at all. 
 

I've made more than a few SWAG's in my day. But they always had some evidence and science behind them.

Well that message went out then a bunch of tanker planes shipped out overseas.  Could be coincidence, might be reality.  Strange times right now.

 

I hate this movie.

I will grant you that my time in the USAF was fifty years ago. But, it wasn't unusual to put folks on alert and shift assets during times of international upheaval. It's possibly a preplanned response to existing conditions. 

in olden days the USAF had a concept called "Prime Beef" or cannon fodder as we called it. The idea was a group of folks equipped and trained to respond quickly (relatively speaking) to events around the globe. We were supposed to set up what today are called FOP's to rearm, refuel and provide light maintenance of aircraft. In my case it would be tactical assets like Phantoms and Wild Weasels. 
 

I can't count the number of times between ORI's (operational readiness inspections) and actual crises we were alerted. The Cold War tended to warm up from time to time. Mostly without the general public having a clue. 
 

I'm pretty sure those orders were transmitted with the highest encryption of the time.

with nothing showing up on the current Military Exercise calendar,  and all those transport planes landing at various support centers for the middle east, you kind of have to add 2+2..  Or as my dad used to say  $hit+2=4 and a fart = a whirlwind.

Just because it look like it, doesn't mean it is.  But in this case I think the cat squished the roof.

I had familiarization training on those, but never actually used one. What I went away with was the feeling that if I ever had to use one in actual combat, I wouldn't remember how. By the late 1970s, they were in some vehicles, but I never saw one in a ground-pounder unit.

We had the SINCGARS radios when I was in. They came out shortly after Desert Storm. We were not allowed to use them in Germany at that time since the constant frequency hopping messed with German civilian communications and broadcast stations.
