Who want some Divisions?

[The Duke]

The US has decided to move the USS Theodore Roosevelt Aircraft Carrier battle group from Norfolk to San Diego, California.  We will also be moving the 1st Armored Division from its bases Germany to the Yuma Proving Grounds in Arizona.  As a result, the 24th Infantry Division will, as previously promised, move to Fort Riley, Kansas.

We also need someone to find a home for the Italy based 173rd Airborne Brigade and the 1st Infatnry Division.  Governors, who wants it?

[JohnFKennedy]

Give it to the Pacific!

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

The Southeastern Region would be delighted to have these Atlasian forces stationed within its borders.

[TheWildCard]

The Pacific would be honored to host this division

[YRABNNRM]

We, in the Northeast would be greatful if Secretary Ford considered us for the new division.

Do you think the Midwest region has enough water to hold any naval divisions?

You guys lost your coastline when we altered the regions.

How do you propose to get a naval division from the ocean into a lake? airlift?

LOL! That is a long way! I didn't even spot some of the connections, they are tiny on my map.

The 173rd Airborne Division would be better off in the flat plains of South Dakota.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

The 173rd Airborne Division would be better off in the flat plains of South Dakota.

Brigade, not Division, unless the Administration intends to increase its strength and use it reactive one of the historical Airborne Dividions from WW2, which would be a bit odd, since the 173rd Brigade is one of the few US Army units that does not have a unit history that goes back to WW2 in some shape pr fashion (altho its constituient battallions do.)

I'll take the brigade. Durring the Cold War The Dakotas and Nebraska were widely used as places to host air bases and nuculer scilos.

The 173 is not an air unit, it is designated as "airborne" because its forces are rapidly deployable and specialize in being rapidly deployed via airlift.

Pacific!!! We can be first response incase North Korea or China attacks us...

1st Infantry Division will be stationed in-- Nevada.

We will be using money saved from base closures in Germany, Italy, and Bosnia, to buy 100,000 acres of land adjacent to the Nellis range cmplex outside Las Vegas.  The Division will, as the 1st AD will, in desert warfare.


The 173rd Airborne will be stationed in-- Alaska.

Fort Greeley will provide a location within easy range of the Korean peninsula and sufficient rugged terrain to train for Korea and Afghanistan.

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

Hmmph.

[PBrunsel]

Oh shoot. My first challenge as Governor (only governor elect) and I fail.

[The Duke]

Actually, PB, you do get a Division.  The 24th Infantry Div. was only temporarily stationed in Arizona, but now with the 1st Armored moving in there, the 24th will be moved back to its original home in Fort Riley, Kansas.

Don, sorry, but you guys don't have any desert down there.  However, there is another opportunity in the wings.  Because the Atlantic Fleet is so cncentrated in Norfolk, and I don't like that, I am willing to move one Aircraft Carrier to a southern port if you guys put up the money.

[King]

SCORE x2...nothing like some good military bases
