I'll try that hotlink again:

Scroll to page 20 for some of the more interesting stuff.

The spelling errors and word substitutions alone are enough to scare me! Must've been typed by a government employee.

Same result using http://www.doncio.navy.mil/y2k

Maybe just down for maintenance.

Thanks, Pudd. Wonder what the Russkies action plan looks like (does anyone recall that even our government has admitted that the Russians are intensively penetrating our information systems in 1999 as an act that amounts to low-level cyberwar? The Chinese? Saddam? Oops, I meant "contingency" plan.

"A connection with the server could not be established."

I get the same thing. If anybody is lucky enough to get in and get to page 20, would you paste it for us to read.

Thanks

Uncle Bob, I just got in at 1:55 eastern time. I'm also on an ADSL line. It may be that if you don't have a high speed connection that your machine is going to have trouble with this document format.

I tried to cut and paste, but I cannot do it in that format. It's either PDF or very similar.

Let me paraphrase a little for you. Basically, the Air Force Reserve command is not sitting on it's hands assuming that this is going to be a non-event. The document (as I read it) discusses the possiblity of full federalization and mmobilization of up to one million reservists for up to 24 months for all types of domestic assistance. It cites specific "DoD Directives" concerning military support of civilian authorities.

Personally, the only thing sinister I see about the document is the disconnect between the military and Koskinen/Bennett. The military, wisely in my opinion, does not want to be caught with its pants down. As we all know, the Administration apparently does not have this same fear.

Maybe someone with more computer skills can cut-and-paste.

I got on the site last night. It is a Word document, and clicking on the link will spawn your external Word viewer, if you have Word. Maybe if you don't have MS Word it gives you the "server could not be established" message.

Puddintame, it seemed to me (though it was late last night when I read it)that the AF contingency plan is most concerned with problems arising in this order:

1. Internal computer problems due directly to Y2K glitches
2. cyber warfare opportunism
3. civil problems due to service and supply disruptions
4. Problems due to social unrest

Is this the way it looked to you, too?
