These are serious troops that conduct very, very significant missions on short notice
And you don't you don't send them.
They're obviously ready to go.
They're kind of a 9-1-1 force, but you don't send them if you don't intend to use them.
Yeah, so you listen for things like prepare to deploy orders.
This is where the Pentagon notifies units days or weeks in advance to be ready.
And in order to do that, they often become public because, you know, you've got to let these units know.
Those units have to let their families know and their support infrastructure at home know.
So often that gets out into public.
So I'm listening for prepare to deploy orders and rumors and leaks about that because I think that tells you a lot about not only
what they're going to send, the capabilities they want to send, but in what scale, what size.
So listen for preparedness to deploy orders.
I think also now that the two groups of troops that we're talking about, Marines, who are trained for these expeditionary ops, and the 82nd Airborne, which is America's 911 force, an emergency force, they're designed for short-term deployments.
In other words, get going quickly, get on the ground, and then usually the mission doesn't last that long.
So when I'm listening, I'm listening also for are they sending logistics?
Are they sending medical and medical service support?
Are they sending more aviation assets and what kind of aviation assets?
And then, of course, are they going to be sending traditional infantry ground units?
These are units that take a lot longer to mobilize and to get on station, but are able to sustain themselves for a long period of time.
You start hearing about that and you start thinking.
