1. Who handles the nukes?

2. Force Projection would go to shite. That's not something you can just ramp up. Not in this day and age.
quote: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.
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.
quote: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.
4. What about the cyber mission force?

I was talking more in the realm of the Strategic Airlift capability. But I'm going to guess your response will be "Navy can do it."
I mean basically what you're advocating is that the Air Force just gets re-flagged as the Navy.

The issue isn't funding, the issue is PERSTEMPO. Unless you mean massively expanding the AGR positions. Us M-Day folks have full time jobs, and any more of a increase in PERSTEMPO would put our jobs at risk.

Not the Navy. You guys suck at cyber I will say an entire new branch is probably necessary. I've still got quite a few friends and colleagues on the active side in various cyber units, and one and all they say "Big Army/Navy/AirForce/etc" is killing their ability to keep technical skills up and be flexible.
