Exercise Global Lightning Underway


Based on HF military traffic monitored in the last 24 hours, it appears that the USSTRATCOM exercise Global Lightning is underway.

Global Lightning is an annual USSTRATCOM-sponsored command-and-control/field training exercise, held in early November, designed to test and validate the ability of USSTRATCOM and its component forces to deter a military attack against the United States and employ forces as directed.

You can monitoring some of the action by monitoring the HF-GCS on the frequencies listed in the link below.
