Whenever something important was happening in a military unit, there was a standard procedure set up that many of you probably know as a "phone tree". Everyone knew who to call so the entire unit could be contacted and, in some cases, recalled. Now, nobody practices it any more and when e-mail goes down a command is paralyzed. | The United States military is at the mercy of e-mail? Yikes. | Shhhhh....the Chinese might read this.
Seriously, don't bet your life on it. My point was pedagogical to the students I was teaching. We adjust but it's painful. As a Communications Officer I *always* provide alternate comm means but people don't know how to use them. We still use radio by and large for Ground Combat and Air Support. | Ha! If intelligence was smart they'd communicate through Christian literature, one thing they know the Chinese are trying to keep their masses clear from, wouldn't want any Red Army soldiers falling under the study of the Christian doctrine.
