The intelligence organisations were often out of kilter as well. I recall carrying out a surveillance task on the way to Keflavik in the late 70's . The brief was perfunctory, and the task boring - found nothing. On return two days later, we were given the same task, but briefed by the USN - totally different and we found all sorts going on. The intelligence officer at ISK had a WTF? moment, but was quicky shut up by 18Gp. We were told to forget everything in the USN brief ...
Yep, very silent at times
