Airbase Personnel 2000/2001

Maintenance of vehicles that have no fuel is... pointless.

Do you keep all 600 hundred maintaining the two trucks and hummer Or keep a few on that detail and use the rest to fight the Mexicans

That would not be my first choice of use for them, but I suspect that in many cases, there aren't a lot of good choices, or sources for reinforcements.

Of course they fight when needed but you dont simply throw away those skills. IMHO, skills and organization are the most important things in rebuilding.

Swag - I agree. Bases would be the center of rebuilding efforts. Now sure some are empty, destroyed, consolidated but there is no way 800 some bases around the world are all closed.

Kind of on topic

California Fire Department has, currently, 15 OV-10 Broncos in service in firefighting duty. The Phillipine Air Force as of last count had 10 OV-10s out of 24 originally assigned counter-insurgency duties in the 90's. 18 auxiliary-jet engine equipped target-towing models went to Federal Republic of Germany. If you want to know what to do with those surplus technicians, have them retrofit combat gear onto Broncos or whatever training craft that fall into their talented hands.
