NOLA - New Orleans, Louisiana - The Big Easy

INTEL SITREP
May 6, 2011
“Operation Rally Point”


This “Recall to Duty” tasking authority is in accordance with military protocol and public affairs directives as directed by US Asian SOF SOP and SSgt Patrick Hall (USAF CCT, Ret).  With all the organized and scripted reunions planned over the years, an idea was born to just have fun and get back together.  It has been over 20 years for some of us to regroup and meet up for an “Asian Special Ops” mini-reunion.  Thanks to members of the Clark AB CCT who developed this concept and made the great effort in making contact with our SOF family.
 
The best place for this to happen would have been somewhere in Asia, but current intel advised that most members are stateside.  Since we couldn’t plan a massive get-together in Angeles City, I-Tae Won, Bangkok or Cambodia, then the next best thing was to have a location centralized within the CONUS that provided for the special needs of our global family.

 
The planned location will be in New Orleans, LA (initial meet at the Sheraton Hotel, 1600 hours).

Mission Statement:  To reorganize Asian Theater Special Ops Forces (USA &USAF) and rendezvous in New Orleans, LA between July 15-17, 2011.
Initial Rally Point:  Friday, July 15, 2011, at the New Orleans Sheraton Hotel, 1600 hours, main barroom.  Will remain on site until July 17, 2011 (Fri-Sun).
