LOL, Rapid Deployment Force? Was that the one that rescued our hostages in Iran? I don't remember his efforts in this direction. I guess that guy scared me so much I'd have laughed at the thought.

No, the Rapid Deployment Force was about 100,000 troops mainly consisting of the 101 and 82 Airborne Divs, and the 24th Mech. The same units that were first sent to the Gulf in 1990. Really one of the very few good things to come out of the Carter administration.
