Against a background hum of voices, phones, beepers and television, each member of the DCG works his or her own part of the relief efforts. Two secret service people need boots. We need to transport some working dogs to the area. The television news wants to know if Tinker has increased security. Planes are arriving at base operations with loads of rescue personnel, military working dogs, and supplies to send downtown.
Veterinary support is needed for the military working dogs on the scene.
The disaster is not at Tinker, but help is. Everyone communicates with each other. It's a team, and if you're not busy, you're answering phones and relaying messages for other members. You don't have much time to think about the horror of it all. There's a television on all the time showing the news.
