From: tedrick@ernie.Berkeley.EDU (Tom Tedrick) How many transport planes would be required to move one division with heavy equipment to a remote area of the world (such as Saudi Arabia), in one day? The "Pax Britannica" was based largely on British seapower. It seems to me we could be entering a "Pax Americana" period, based on American air power (assuming enough air transport capability is developed to quickly move sufficient force to remote trouble spots). Hope this isn't too political for this group.
