Indo-Pacific Command is in the Pacific.
So each one of them has an area of operation.
JSOC is a subordinate of Special Operations Command.
They are the ones that hold these guys.
They're given a mission, say, go conduct a counterterrorism operation or snatch a body out of some place.
And they do it very well.
But when you're talking about an invasion, you're looking at land routes, logistics operations, sea forces, air forces.
And they don't do that from a bigger contingency.
So just saying that JSOC had been given the mission to plan an invasion of Greenland.
Greenland has about 50,000 citizens on the island.
About 80% of that island is ice.
So I'm not sure what an invasion looks like.
Would they take over the towns of Nuuk, which is the capital of Greenland, which has a bunch of very beautiful colored buildings?
Do they reinforce what used to be called Thule Air Base on the northeastern portion of the island, which is now
I can't pronounce the name, Patafik Space Force Base, which is where the American forces are now on the island.
I mean, I just don't know.
Whenever you give a mission to invade somewhere, like World War II, Eisenhower was given a one-paragraph mission.
Enter the continent of Europe and defeat the Nazi war machine.
I don't know what the mission would be.
