My insight is that I had some involvement in War Books in the 80s and 90s, when comparable measures were planned.
If the answer is NO, then, in these troubled times, I would disband and redeploy the Reds.
The aircraft have no combat role but the pilots and groundcrew could be back at their last units in a few hours.
