Someone asked about the impact of the ash cloud on medevacs from the Afghan theatre, which are apparently going direct to ADW. NY Times reports today:

"The shutdown has also affected American military operations. Military supplies for operations in Afghanistan have been disrupted, and a spokeswoman for the Pentagon said that all medical evacuation flights from Iraq and Afghanistan to Germany, where most injured soldiers are typically treated, were being diverted directly to Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland."
