Even the FAST teams in Spain would have to equip for the mission, same goes for the ops in Croatia training. They'd have to stage themselves and you'd probably need a plan. Basing this on flight time along isn't realistic, you know this.

Remember as well that the closest security team in Tripoli did deploy and got there at 1:30am.


There's a body of research out there that can't be denied. Multiple investigations seem to be reaching the same conclusions.

Not exactly that. But it doesn't take them hours to get ready, either. A FAST team can be in the air in less than an hour. Read the book Lone Survivor, you'll see how fast 12 SEALs can get a chopper in the air with zero warning.
