Bliss 13-14 for briefings on Army Air Defense and observa tion of missile firings by SNAP units. The units they watch will not be components of the Omaha-Lincoln Defense. The SNAP program was un dertaken at the missile range last July. Units, accustomed for years to annual return visits to the range for refresher practice firing of missiles against aerial targets for which months of advance warning was given, now were placed on continuous alert for practice firings.

The SNAP program is designed to help eliminate any tendency of units to "point" toward once-a-year visits to the firing range.
