[MilCom] MIL: 11175.0 USB - HEADBOARD; DECKBOAT; MEATHOOK; and ROOT ALUM

[Jeff Haverlah]

0005z  18 Apr 26

UTC 17 Apr 26

The first logged E6B restoral rebroadcast activity since the 0300z+/- time
period of UTC 13 Jul 26. Today's E6B deployed from ALBUQUERQUE/KIRTLAND to
the Gulf and returned to ABQ/KIRTLAND at the end of its mission. It also
broadcast its string prior to the NCS broadcast of same which might suggest
that the E6B was the CP that injected the string into the network.

[USSTRATCOM CP]
