PR Brigades

[kalos72]

Anyone have any material on the status of the 193rd or the 92nd from Puerto Rico?

I saw some articles that had the 193rd moved to PR instead of getting deactivated, like that line. Depending on your thoughts on the Canal itself that is...

Anything on the Army/Navy forces on PR during T2K?

Some of my groups thoughts on this area:

United States Southern Command

U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command & U.S. Fourth Fleet - Stuck at NS Roosevelt Roads, PR.
United States Army South - Evacuated Panama and moved to NS Roosevelt Roads, PR.
Joint Task Force Bravo - Evacuated Honduras moved to NS Roosevelt Roads, PR.
Joint Task Force Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO) - Evacuated Gitmo moved to NS Roosevelt Roads, PR.
Joint Interagency Task Force South , U.S. Marine Corps Forces, South and Special Operations Command South - Consolidated to Naval Air Station Key West

Not sure where HQ for the Command was at this timeline...so that's a gap. We are thinking this is in line with the Gitmo closing. We seem to feel the two brigades above would be stuck there along with various other assets as listed.

Thoughts?

If you want some awesome stories about the 92nd IRL PM me.

I have the 1st Battalion, 228th Aviation Regiment which was part of Joint Tast Force Bravo as having joined the 173rd Airborne when it was deployed to Kenya. My Sourcebook had the 173rd starting the war in Honduras fighting Soviet and Nicaraguan guerrillas and then being deployed from there to Kenya.

When Olefin? I am trying to find the reference to Gitmo in canon material to start a theoretical timeline here.

I think USOSUTHCOM was HQ'd in Panama with Army South so them moving to PR, the closest base in the Caribbean, makes sense to us.

If the 173rd was there at the time, them moving to PR as well works...they have always been a question mark in our timeline honestly.

Still trying to work out naval assets originally assigned to Roosevelt Roads/the Caribbean at the time as well as the 193rd and 92 IB's orbats.

the movement of the 173rd is basically canon as Frank Frey identified them as going to Kenya as part of his unpublished module - we know when they went there (per what Frank stated here on various threads) so I had them in my sourcebook as initially in Honduras after they were first reconstituted, then sent to Kenya from there and taking the 1st of the 228th along for the ride to provide them helo lift

Frank had part of the 228th going but not specifically the 1st if I remember correctly

When where they reconstituted in your timeline? Sent to Kenya?

The Kenya line was always odd to me but I loved the work none the less.
