This is quite possibly a made up conversation. National guard units, any military unit, and any major governmental or corporate organization has strict requirements about who gets to talk to members of the public. The position is typically called Public Information Officer. Unless the guy who picked up the phone identifies himself as a representative of the PI office, and I didn’t hear that, it’s probably a bogus conversation. To confirm the conversation is real, look for a press release from them with the same information. Stuff at that level of impact will always be backed with a formal press release.
