FYI - the key is that the Cadets draw equipment from Fort Carson - and it doesnt say "after 2-3 years waiting for the radiation background level to decrease to acceptable levels" or anything like that - that implies Carson is intact (or relatively so) and that the equipment is usable or can have the radiation cleaned off - which means you need uncontaminated water and cleaning supplies and lots of it to get any fallout off the CARC painted exteriors of the vehicles - and that they didnt burn up from the thermal pulse that would have hit the Fort for sure if a one megaton bomb had hit Cheyenne Mountain dead on
