"SNIP......
While a mob stormed the Capitol on January, pushing through barricades set up outside the building, the Department of Homeland Security sent an email to the Pentagon, reporting no major incidents of illegal activity at this time, Politico reports.
......SNIP"

(65,013 posts)Since the internet was kind of developed for the Pentagon's use, you'd think they'd have it.
Geez, they had network speeds in the building of a 100Mb back in the mid 90s.
Yet, nobody in that giant building was streaming any news?

(19,201 posts)Certainly not a normal, legitimate Department of Homeland Security. Everything in the federal government was tilted in his direction.
Of course when TFG stands in a room everything tilts in his direction; floor, walls, ceiling, tables, chairs etc.

(201 posts)LinkedIn job profile of Duty Director JF explains what the NOC does.
I didn't edit except to break it up into paragraphs.
The DHS National Operations Center Duty Director provides leadership and direction for a robust 24 hour watch staff comprised of the elements of the National Operations Center (NOC). The mission of the NOC is to serve as the primary National-level hub for domestic situational awareness, common operating picture, information fusion, information sharing, communications and operations coordination, pertaining to the prevention of terrorist attacks and domestic incident management. The position reports directly to the NOC Director.
The NOC operates a matrix organization and includes five major functional elements: (1) multi-agency NOC Watch, (2) Intelligence Watch and Warnings Division, (3) National Infrastructure Coordination Center, (4) National Response Coordination Center, and (5) Planning Element/Crisis Action Team. The NOC employs over 200 personnel, which includes government employees, contractors, Federal, State, Local and detailees from the DHS components.
The NOC Duty Director is responsible for the oversight of their shift to ensure functioning, collaboration and coordination of all five NOC elements to ensure teamwork and unity of effort. The NOC Duty Director is responsible for alerts and notifications to senior DHS leadership as well as the interagency, and transitioning the NOC and the DHS staff to crisis operations during domestic incidents or crisis.
The NOC Duty Director ensures the timely, accurate, and complete reporting of critical information requirements, making sure the right senior leaders have the right situational knowledge at the right time to make informed, risk-mitigated decisions. The NOC Duty Director therefore works and communicates routinely with the Secretary and Deputy Secretary of Homeland security and their support staff, the Presidents National Security Staff, and principals staffs of the federal, state and local interagency.

(36,053 posts)-- whichever LTC confirms sending that report -- can explain the sources of their situational knowledge. There's a way to at least map the messaging network on that day.
Thank you for this info.
