They use wind speed / wind direction to calculate bullet drift and windage to the target. They might use any of those things you just mentioned, depending on what they have available to them.

The only cords (lanyards) worn are by the Infantry they are sky blue. Generals Aids also are authorized a gold cord. A long time ago you wore the color of your branch, when they stopped the Infantry kept doing it. Blue - Infantry Gold - Cavalry Gold/Green - Armor Red - Artillery White -...

It is because of the Nigerian on Christmas day. He was trained and supplied by an Al Qaeda cell in Yemen before his failed attempt on the flight in Detroit. We are currently working with Yemeni authorities to see what we can do to help them stamp out their terrorist cells.
