I think a lot of it depends on what, in your campaign, the US Government knows, and when.

If they know there'll be a nuclear war about XX date, and the Morrow Project expects to wake up about XX + 5 years ... Snake Eater teams should only be a tiny part of the official response.

Heh, the War could be caused by this revelation.

Somewhere in the Pentagon: "Our intelligence says this Morrow outfit expects a nuclear war to happen in mid-November. We'd better go to Defcon 2 that week!"

Meanwhile in Moscow: "Comrade General, the Americans have placed their strategic forces on high alert status! Your fears are correct!"

But with months or years of warning, and sufficient belief in the evidence to be dropping Special Forces guys into cryoberths ... all sorts of activity would be taking place. Like:
  • preparing Damocles or other "wierd" strategic schemes
  • stocking up FEMA on civil defense supplies
  • sending "national command authorities" off to "undisclosed locations"
  • stashing supplies in tunnels and mines
  • making sure every nuclear sub, bomber, missile, etc. is ready that month
  • preparing whatever "Star Wars" system you might be working on for the ultimate test

I agree with ArmySGT: there's not much reason to freeze an A-Team to help FEMA -- especially not five years after an Atomic War.
