Can you tell me any more of the relative reception? This element wasn't open to the attending media so I was unable to see it. Thanks,Angus Mordant

When I was notified of the exercise nearly a week ago it was known that it would be a bus and not a plane. The exercise wasn't about the plane as much as it was about the response. 

I assume that is a typo under the 'DEPARTURE' section, you would be going to the airport rather than back to the hotel I would assume.
