General alert raised for millions of US servicemen
The United States and Allied forces worldwide were placed on general military alert as a precaution amid tensions over the Middle East. At Norfolk and other bases, ships returned crews, leaves were canceled, and security tightened while officials weighed selective reductions. The move followed United Nations talks and Soviet diplomacy, with no confirmed troop movements in or out of the United States.
