So, Mr. Head, do you mind if I call you Dick?
Thanks for the sarcasm: mighty helpful. NOT.
Maybe I should rephrase/restate my question. My question wasn't "who are they?", so much
as how do they relate to this Qdrop surrounding the test Thursday?
Unless they don't relate. Just a random thought: Maybe something is going on in the Middle East that we need to keep an eye on?

The United States Central Command (USCENTCOM or CENTCOM) is a theater-level Unified Combatant Command of the U.S. Department of Defense. It was established in 1983, taking over the 1980 Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force (RDJTF) responsibilities.
The CENTCOM Area of Responsibility (AOR) includes countries in the West Asia, parts of North Africa, and Central Asia, most notably Afghanistan and Iraq. CENTCOM has been the main American presence in many military operations, including the Persian Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm, 1991), the War in Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom, 2001–2014), and the Iraq War (Operation Iraqi Freedom, 2003–2011). As of 2015, CENTCOM forces are deployed primarily in Afghanistan (Operation Resolute Support, 2015–present), Iraq and Syria (Operation Inherent Resolve, 2014–present) in supporting and advise-and-assist roles.
As of 1 September 2016, CENTCOM's commander was General Joseph Votel, U.S. Army.
