MM4, The problem with an EAW when compared to a CTG is that it cannot "poise". It either moves forward to a FOB or it stays in UK, there is no in between mode. Thus the political decision to deploy will always be set at a far higher bar than for a CTG and in consequence it's ability to influence is weak. That is assuming a friendly FOB can be found near the area to be influenced.
Not sure what this has to do with the original post but hey, we are on page three.
