Recommended Military Course of Action for Benghazi on 9/11/12

Created by T.L. on May 18, 2013

The purpose of this petition is to find out what the AFRICOM Commander's (General Carter Hamm's) recommended course of action was for responding to the attack in Benghazi on 9/11/12. The unclassified Accountability Review Board Report states only that there was not enough time for a military response. There was enough time to get an AFRICOM unarmed surveillance aircraft and a backup there. Why not other assets? Did Mullen and Pickering question General Hamm or any of his staff? This is not addressed in the Accountability Review Board Report.
