Hmmm.

So the second MEU should be arriving any day now.  The 82nd Division Ready Brigade (do they still call it that) can arrive in 18hrs...probably less since the warning order has already been issued and they're primed to go.

SOCOM is probably already doing their thing or itching to do so which means that they're making this an all light infantry affair (well sorta light infantry....the 82nd once they do their complete mobilization will have more ground combat power than an equivalent Marine Unit).

Since this is gonna be all light fighters I have to wonder why the 101st wasn't deployed.  They have the greatest mobility of any Army division.  Tactically extremely mobile.  Strategically not so much.  They're hard to move (they really need to lobby for a fast transport ship to move their helicopters).

My thinking?

Raids to get the uranium.

Assaults to take a couple of islands.

Once that's completed victory will be declared, Iran will be left to rebuild and we'll go into the mode of conducting punitive strikes against any leader/scientist that poses a threat.
