"The Reserve squadron of in-flight re-fuelers will remain." This is one of the things that I have respected about Rumsfeld's planning. We have re-fuelers and other support type aircraft all over the world to facilitate moving our CONUS based resources forward in a hurry.
Japan does not have a lot of actual attack aircraft deployed, but there are a lot of failities available to them on short notice, including re-fuelers and AWACS/JSTARS. That is why I'm somewhat perplexed by the move of the A-10s to Moody. Unless they have moved A-10s from Germany to Japan, which is not stipulated.

I dunno.

Rumsfeld has my deepest respect.

I hope he and other planners look at it.
