[Oremem/Idamem] Important information

[ke7et]

After our Emergency scenario last Saturday, I followed our traffic from our
Oregon Gateway to the Western Area gateway. I found that Leo did a great job
of posting it to the Western area gateway and they posted it
immediatley.After a few days it was taken off the Gateway . The question
becomes what happened to  it and did it get delivered?
In an actual emergency of the maginitude of our simulated emergency we MUST
know that the traffic is getting delivered and acted upon.
To this end , I have sent a request to our SMD to ask Chief of Army
Mars,Robert Sutton, about these issues.
The following is a copy of the email I sent to our SMD, and his response.
 I hope you all feel this is important enough to keep it alive until we get
the issues resolved.Thank you.
