Multiple members of the military who were on duty during the #Benghazi attacks on 9/11/12 attempted to come forward to the @HouseBenghazi Select Committee with evidence of military assets in the Mediterranean region that were available but never deployed. (1/5)
Nick Noe, former 603d Air and Space Operations Center personnel member, working in combat operations based at Ramstein, Germany AFB was tracking assets through the Mediterranean using the CSS system on 9/11/12. His job was to know where military assets were at all times. (2/5)
Nick Noe confirmed that there were several drones, both armed and unarmed over open airspace in Libya. He confirmed that there were F-16s at Aviano, Italy AFB; F-15s at Lakenheath, England AFB; and a pararescue team ready to respond 24 hrs/day. (3/5)
Nick Noe was contacted after the #Benghazi attacks by a US Marine who was aboard the USS Bataan off the coast of Libya on 9/11/12. The USS Bataan is a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship that carried the 21st Marine Expeditionary Unit among other personnel. (4/5)
V-22 Ospreys on the deck of the USS Bataan were manned and awaiting deploy orders to respond to the #Benghazi attacks for 4 hours, but those orders never came. Instead, they were ordered to unload. (5/5)
