Speaking of Hawaii, the t2k timeline is going to alter some things in the military situation on island.

1. Wheeler AAF may still be Wheeler AFB. It was transferred in the early 90s, ceasing to operate its complement of OV-10s. It’s only a 5000ft+runway, but could operate C-130s or C-17s in addition to air defense F-15s. There’s a hardened facility there for the Hawaii air defense operations center.

2. Dillingham AAF on the north shore of Oahu is still under lease from the army. It’s a light aviation and skydiving field also used by the 25th ID for training. Easy to see it’s 9000ft+ runway used for P-3s or to disperse ground alert TACAMO/ABCC assets out of Barbers Point or Hickam.

3. NAS Barbers Point is still a going concern. Hosts P-3s and the PACFLT TACAMO. Since things didn’t go they way of the peace dividend in t2k, there’s also a SOSUS site and WSA with NDBs.

4. NAVMAG Lualei and West Loch is still a going concern. That includes Waikele gulch with another WSA.

5. When you’re writing for 25th ID, the DIVARTY 155mm battery had 8 (later 6 in AoE) M198s with the nuclear mission in addition to being the division’s GS shooters.

So, more infrastructure and more potential targets…
