However, General Ralph Eberhart told the 9/11 Commission "it took about 30 seconds" to make the adjustment to the real-world situation (note 116 to chapter 1). The Vigilant Guardian war game was discussed in chapter 1, footnote 116 of the 9/11 Commission Report: "On 9/11, NORAD was scheduled to conduct a military exercise, Vigilant Guardian, which postulated a bomber attack from the former Soviet Union. We investigated whether military preparations for the large-scale exercise compromised the military's response to the real-world terrorist attack on 9/11. According to General Eberhart, "it took about 30 seconds" to make the adjustment to the real-world situation. Ralph Eberhart testimony, June 17, 2004. We found that the response was, if anything, expedited by the increased number of staff at the sectors and at NORAD because of the scheduled exercise. See Robert Marr interview (Jan. 23, 2004)."
