If one was dedicated to the Cherry Point, Beaufort, New River tasks.....would it not be able to do all three tasks due to its speed and range. The deletion of the 46 Pedro at Cherry Point would mean the Range Security troops would have to go by boat if I am not mistaken. Perhaps that mission could be handled by a UH-1 and base it out of Atlantic OLF.

Actually....it sounds like a mission tailored made for a commerical helicopter operator!
