Now to get the rest of the timeline catching up to where the players were

March 5, 2001

California

The 177th Brigade (OPFOR Brigade) out of Fort Irwin and the 40th Infantry attack the Mexican 1st Brigada’s position near Edwards Air Force Base in the first offensive against the Mexicans in two years in California.

Norfolk

The 1st Armored Division, along with 600 replacements from Omega and 800 new recruits fresh out of training leaves for Texas to reinforce the units near Brownsville and begin the offensive to retake the Gulf Coast and drive the Russians out of San Antonio. In Texas the Port Isabel Refinery is about to begin production again of refined products.

To add power to the division every operational helicopter that MilGov has at Norfolk is sent to create an Aviation Brigade for the 1st Armored. A total of four AH-1 Cobras, three AH-64 Apaches, five UH-1, three UH-60 and the CH-47 that evacuated the rear guard at Bremen are sent. In addition they have loaded ammo and weapons for the helos, plus every tech and spare part they could find.

Memphis

A single survivor of the two platoons of the 197th sent to investigate what is going on in the Ozarks returns back to friendly lines telling of being attacked from the air by a dirigible and ultra lights.

Maryland/Virginia

The 38th Infantry Division begins an operation to clear out marauders and other groups near Harpers Ferry and in the Shenandoah Valley so as to put that area under MilGov control again.

Korea

The USMC, in order to consolidate the logistical troops and free up more combat manpower, combines the three USMC divisions in Korea into two. The 16th Regiment of the 6th Marine Division joins the
23rd Regiment of the 4th Division, bringing the 4th to 1000 men and thirteen M60A4 tanks. The Marines have also started their own boot camp to train some 900 sailors whose ships have been sunk or damaged beyond repair into Marines.

The Army, looking to streamline its own forces, combines the 25th and 45th Infantry Divisions, with the resulting 25th Infantry Division now having 2600 men.

Poland

The XI Corps, having survived the winter, begins to make plans to attempt to get back to Germany. They have made contact with the III Corps HQ that stayed in Germany. While they know they are stuck in Europe for now, at the least they can be with fellow Americans in a NATO country instead of cutoff in an enemy country.
