#1 Should add Psyops and Civil Affairs units from Ft. Bragg.

Speaking of Psyops, they should let it be known that they are deploying some Mortuary Affairs and Graves Registration teams.

#2 Good mix of combat support and Core MP. Given, many of the salty MP's are in the hot zones, this mix should be interesting if cross platform logistics works. But seeing the line up, the HQ will be formed with very experienced units in this endeavor.

And if you need any other help, I was Personally handling this the last time 30,000 people were streaming into here. It was a little known place called GTMO - but then with Haitians and Cubans.

#3 so other than a couple of combat units, treating this s a "police"/public relations action? I remember them calling Korea a "police action"; look how that turned out.

#4 Korea? No fear! "Volunteers"
Have only deployed in our rears
(and they haven't much armor...
ask factory or farmer
or builder or foodie!) for years.

#5 If I recall correctly "salty" is a mild term for some of those Military Police who served in Afghanistan and Iraq . Again IIRC , They did convoy duty, base protection and body guard . They whipped some ass with firearms and did interrogation on the survivors. "Shoot First, Ask Questions later. "
