"Hypothetically" speaking one or two in theatres.
I'm sure one has been on station over Afghanistan before?

We certainly don't have enough airframes to send up north or east on patrol on R1 duties.

Then you have maintenance issues with going unserviceable also. I don't think it can be done using existing E-3D's
