US High Command offers its sincerest apologies for the recent return of Gen. Swimmer and his 2nd EFF to the States for leave, re-supply, and extended training. That said, this unit is currently returning to Europe. The main convoy shall land in the south of France around twenty-two hundred hours tomorrow (the twentieth of July). You will be glad to hear, however, that this unit has been enlarged and gone through further training during its respite from combat. Unfortunately, congress has not yet agreed to expanding the force by a significant amount. On the brighter side, the division that received the most extensive training and re-outfitting is the Marine Air Corps. In co-operation with the USAF, the Air Corps deployed in Europe are now outfitted with top of the line radar and jamming equipment packages in order to deal with the menace of Russian Aircraft.
On this note, the losses of several expensive aircraft and there pilots has become a large issue stateside. Although it has most definitely whipped the American people into a fighting state (and they are more than happy to return to being the "Arsenal of Democracy" for the Allied nations), congress is hesitant to deploy additional forces (or officially dedicate themselves to this war) until the ECA and its EU governing body are willing to dedicate resources to rescuing downed US pilots. When Europe proves it willingness to help the US in its fight against the Russian bear, we are at the ready to funnel our assets into this war.
On a similar topic, the US forces currently stationed in Europe (and General Swimmers forces en-route to fortify the Dutch line) are currently awaiting orders on locations to be fortified. Please brief generals "Swimmer" and "DerKrieger" on were you feel the best position to form a line is.
One last bit of good news- Congress has approved the use of naval aviation assets and the use of several other naval assets located in the Mediterranean sea to aid in the defense of Europe.
At Your Service,
USA CentCom

General Swimmers Briefing to His Staff
Ok, men, congress won't give us what we want. Its no different from the Navy not giving us the nescessary assets to do our job until now. But, what the hell, we're Marines here. Since when has a lack of equipment slowed us down. I want you to rally your men. Remind them they just got leave, remind them we're fighting for democracy. But, mostly, remind them what we're here to do- make the ground run red with ruskie blood. No, its not politically correct. That's why I'm a general, not the goddamn president. Anyway, you have your orders, get to your commands, rally your troops, and get ready to race through France to the Dutch line.
General Swimmers Speech to his men [televised]
We know the war is going badly. Every time we draw a line in the sand, the Russians push through it. I know, I know, they're tough. But you men know as well as I do that they are no were near invincible. We've hurt them before, hell, we've killed them before. This time, its going to be them going down. This time, we have the edge, and they don't know it. You have your orders, men. Fortify the Dutch line, let them move into the kill-zone, and let hell loose. I know you men can do this. Its time we turn the tide of this war with a little bit of combined-arms fire of our own. Avengers in the city, stop those TOPOL's. Tomahawk Launchers, provide counterbattery support. I want the raptors loaded up with the new
JSoW's. Lets torch some ruskie ass. Semper-Fi, men.

One more thing- lets play some AC/DC... just to freak 'em out. Back in Black anyone?
