#1 Of course if you're building facilities like this, you need to put in place all the associated infrastructure - roads, bridging, communications equipment, depots, etc. You know, exactly the same things you'd need to have for forward assembly areas , sort of like those we had in Kuwait just before we rolled into Iraq. And if they are in place, the amount of build up time before crossing the LD drops to hours rather than weeks.

The next time we need someone to run a similar operation like Iraq, we'll be sure to call you. Send your C.V. to the Pentagon 'K?
