It's like intense.

So all these carriers are tied into this joint commander that's probably in gutter, and they run what they call an air tasking order.

So the air component commander will be leading an orchestration of targets that have been selected years ago, weeks ago, months ago, built up.

We'll know where a lot of this stuff is.

Targets assigned to the specific airframes from the Air Force, from the Navy.

assigned to our TLAM.

A lot of TLAMs will be used, probably already been used.

So that'll be orchestrated.

All the communications are together and that cycle of targeting that goes on on a, it's a 24 hour basis that we're just constantly

assessing, evaluating, and going after targets.

If we see that we missed something, we'll go back after it.

If we see something moving, those are time-sensitive targets.

We'll go after the time-sensitive targets.

So that process is well honed since Desert Storm, where the Navy and the Air Force really started getting together in what they call the Joint Force Air Component Commander concept to coordinate and orchestrate our air operations, not just with aircraft, but with our Navy ships and submarines and their

T-LAM and all fires, all fires from all services.

All services that are involved that are able to project power will be coordinated through this system that we have.

And everybody is dialed into this and is aware of what's going on in not just only their portion, but the larger portion.

And so if somebody gets taken out in one sector, a leadership role can be taken by another place.

So if somebody were to take out the JFAC in Gutter, we could
