Perhaps a better way to look at the problem is this...I'd suggest that the major training bases would serve as "nodes" for MILGOV, they tend to have more barracks and support facilities, extra equipment, as well as training cadre so they can support replacement drafts as well as local needs.
Next up would be bases that are in position to control key points (Fort Riley to control the central plains, Camp Shelby to control the New Orleans-Mobile Gulf Coast, just to name two).
Then there would be the need to control key ports, not just Newport News, but perhaps smaller ports, large enough to handle a couple of cargo ships and an escort.
Once MILGOV had an area under control, then they could branch out to control another strategic point, Memphis-Cario perhaps, and then linking down river to Vicksburg.
Just a few thoughts while stuck in traffic.....I HATE THIS DC Commute!!!
