Yes, Barksdale was involved in that exercise too....we played "games" at both bases simultaneously!!! We didn't put any of our birds to the sky that day....but we were all told to be ready to launch at any time. Once the initial shock was over, we were told to download all weapons and start pre-flighting for deployment. I LOVED DIEGO GARCIA!!!!
