Who's to say all ships ended up in Norfolk?
It's quite probable that those slated (or volunteered) to go to the middle east went straight there either around the bottom of Africa or landing in Israel and marching across land.
Any units intended for the mid west may have landed somewhere on the Caribbean coastline - that's upwards of 5-6 thousand mouths (more or less) that don't even see Norfolk let alone land there.
I believe Howling Wilderness is written as of sometime in 2001, after the troops have landed (I'll need to check later). If so, then the numbers and situation described therein should include the Omega troops.
