I'm a military contractor. I have lots of military buddies in almost every branch.

Back in November, my pilot buddies (O3, O4) in the AF received chain of command in contested power transfer briefings. Basically the guy who was in charge last stays in charge until everything is ironed out. Something about the Prometheus protocol (a nickname, not its official name).

My Navy and Army buddies did not receive any briefing like this.

Take this information however you will.
