The guy who's chair of this thing now is John Tobias, U.S. Department of the Army. The guy who used to be is Mitch Guthrie, consulting engineer from North Carolina. Why is the Army interested in lightning protection? They've had a few ammo dumps go in a lightning storm over the years. Get a nice lightning bolt right through your ammo and all of a sudden you don't have any ammo left. Not a good thing in a war. Not a good thing if you're anywhere near the ammo dump — it's a bad day. So that's why they're interested in it.
