Last call to base (when Grady's wife speaks to him)


What I wonder is the purpose of calling in that last time if they cannot receive verbal orders at that point. Is it to update Omaha on their status? Get alternate orders? They are instructed to call in for a reason. Is it even possible they could be given order to bomb an alternate site, sparing Moscow?

They mention that the purpose is to relay information about the results of the bombing

Makes sense.
