I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

I would imagine some of the plan revisions will be in respect of basing rights, or lack of them, RoE, force levels as well as target sets - Air Defence, offensive, logistics, infrastructure and so on.

In one exercise as we neared a political show-of-force demonstration we had expected the MNC to select a target and make an appropriate noise.

He didn't.

He selected a large target set, far in excess of what we expected, as he wanted to have a firm military effect as well as a simple political one.

I imagine there will be a similar dichotomy between your political and military leaders.
