It&#8217;s unclear what early warning system triggered the alert. Once it was apparent there was not an actual strike coming they chalked the experience up to a training exercise.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In a seemingly odd sequence of events today, The War Zone was made aware that Ramstein Air Base in Germany, America&#8217;s massive central European military hub, alerted its personnel of a potential incoming missile strike. After the strike never materialized, the sprawling installation&#8217;s command post put out a notice stating that &#8220;the missile launch was then assessed to be part of a training exercise&#8221; and wasn&#8217;t deemed a threat to the base.<\/p>\n<p>You can read the entire message below:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Attention Team Ramstein, Today, the Ramstein Air Base Command Post was notified via an alert notification system of a real-world missile launch in the European theater. The Command Post followed proper procedure and provided timely and accurate notifications to personnel in the Kaiserslautern Military Community. The missile launch was then assessed to be part of a training exercise and not a threat to the KMC area. The situation is all clear. We\u2019d like to thank our Command Post members for their quick response to ensure our people stay informed so they can take the proper safety precautions.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>More at the source; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedrive.com\/the-war-zone\/38131\/ramstein-air-base-in-germany-experiences-potential-incoming-missile-scare\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Drive<\/a><\/p>\n<p>***UPDATE***<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t just a missile alert.
