While stationed at Fort Hood, got to take part in a map-ex run by the 1st Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division (that's right! I got to walk message forms from one table to another!!
) The Brigade S-3 was excited because part of the map-ex was to use a tactical nuke to destroy an enemy regiment.
The highlight of the map-ex was the S-3 personally plotting the target location for the tac nuke...
The Brigade Commander calmly watched the whole process and when it came time for him to request release of the nuke, asked the S-3 "Have you confirmed the target location?"
"Yes Sir!"
"You do realize that the grid that you gave is the location of our headquarters?"
