We only need a ground force bigger than RIC if Johny G gets ashore. That will relieve the AT pressure, CIV or MIL. It will be much simpler reinforcing the Islands with mud movers and additional interceptors via 8500 ft of black top at MPA than it would have been in '82 via 3500 ft at Stanley. Admittedly, the pressure would still be on the AAR assets.
