These who received the orders were already on 96-hour prepare-to-deploy status, which has now been shortened to 24 hours.

So, how do I imagine this. Does this mean everything already packed up and ready to go, with everyone relieved from any regular duty, ready to put on boots and walk to the planes at any moment?
