2. Force Projection would go to shite. That's not something you can just ramp up. Not in this day and age.

Force projection is the Navy's thing man. They're the best in the world at it and it's pretty much their mission in life.

3. The loss of knowledge at the tactical and strategic level. Again, not something you can just ramp up in this day and age. And not something the National Guard can effectively maintain. It's a full time job.

Meh. We can obviously keep some guys on as full timers to maintain the knowledge base as a cadre. Under my plan the guard would be a lot better funded than they are now.

4. What about the cyber mission force?

The Navy or perhaps even create a new branch all together to conduct this mission. It's not unprecedented. We created a whole new branch the last time a brand new facet of warfare was developed with the Air Force. Although arguable that never should've happened.
