 This is CNN breaking news. Senior US officials have been up all night monitoring the situation in the situation room. Sir, here's the latest intel. Convene the crisis action. Yes, sir. This is received information that we're going to be deploying forces. This will be accomplished by an AR-20, an AR-95. We'll need to go ahead and work on this connoisseur. It's planned on three hours from now. At the same time, let's make sure we get the AMOGs alerted, get the contingency cells set up here. Any questions? OK, thanks. We'll see you in three hours. What you got? Sir, the situation is deteriorating rapidly. 8-130s over to the theater. They have to be in the air at 36 hours. 10-141s, 6-C5s, and 4-C17s. You with me, camera? Yes, sir. OK, Roger, that just got a tasking down for 8-C130s. We're going to need 12 crews. 8-4-C17s. 6-C5, over complement, logman at AR. 30,000 pounds of fuel off load. We'll need to be able to sustain that initially for a 24-hour period. OK, we'll be looking to set up a Northeast tanker task for support. We'll ask for the National Guard and reserve to help us out up there. I was calling for McGuire Cat, I went and checked in. Seeing none of your bases are expecting any exception, everybody should be above 300 feet. Profoundness, the kind of sacrifice that our men and women make in the military. The importance of their mission. I've seen the Air Mobility Command folks operate in the field, coming in here and opening up this contingency base. It was a tremendous success during this search period as we went through that. Air power and the ability to get anywhere in the world quickly and deliver substantial combat power. We've been in virtually every country in the world in the last year, some kind of operation, be it mill to mill or humanitarian or air operation. So I think we're well positioned for this world we live in. You are living up to the great traditions of the armed forces of the United States, protecting our nation's interests by keeping a fire out on behalf of all the American people. I come here, most of all, to thank you for the superb job you are doing on this historic mission. The sun never sets on Air Mobility Command and its global mission. And after we provide the planes and the gas and the communications and all the other resources, in the end, it's our men and women, our air crews, our maintenance people, our aerial porters, our doctors, our nurses, and all the other men and women active, guard, reserve, and civilian who provide global reach for America.
