:28:02
coincidentally scheduled for this month.
:28:04
Code designation, Fillabriglegs 62.
:28:08
Admiral Anderson?
:28:09
Yes, sir.
:28:10
The Navy will have more than 100 ships
in the maneuver,
:28:13
including four attack carriers,
:28:15
and we are also moving in the Enterprise.
:28:17
General Schoop.
:28:19
The task force will carry
and have the capability
:28:21
to land 40,000 combat ready marines,
:28:24
not including 4,000 in transit,
:28:26
and in residence in Guantanamo.
:28:28
The Army's 82nd and 101st Airborne
are being airlifted
:28:33
to a total 100,000 men in Florida.
:28:36
General LeMay.
:28:37
Strategic air command bombers
are being deployed
:28:40
from farther bases to make room
for tactical attack aircraft,
:28:43
air defense facilities
are being stripped outside
:28:45
the Cuban missile range,
and reinstalled in the southeast.
:28:48
We have 14,000 reservists on standby
recall to fly air transport
:28:52
in the event of an airborne invasion.
:28:54
Now, the initial raid will consist of
500 sorties
:28:57
striking at all missile sites,
military targets,
:29:00
airfields, ports, and gun emplacements.
:29:03
When will you be ready to launch
this air strike?
:29:09
October 23rd.
:29:12
Five days.
:29:13
Yes, sir.
:29:16
And how do you think the Russians
ill respond?
:29:21
They won't.
:29:24
Not at all?
:29:25
No, sir.
:29:30
Is that what you really think?
:29:36
Are you trying to tell me
that they'll let us bomb their missiles,
:29:39
kill a lot of Russians
and then do nothing?
:29:44
If they don't move in Cuba, General,
:29:45
they'll certainly do something in Berlin.
:29:51
We're in a pretty bad fix, Mr. President.
:29:55
You're in it with me.
