ALLIED FORCES
French force position:
Forbin is off the coast of Libya now. CdG battle group departing Toulon on Sunday. Istres (France), Solenzara (Corsica) and N'Djemena (Chad) are on high alert getting reinforced squadrons and supplies for the campaign. Over 100 fighters are being made ready. Joan of Arc 2011 has yet to depart the Eastern Med which includes Mistral and Georges Leygues .
British force position:
Frigates HMS Cumberland and HMS Westminster in international Med waters. Malta has allowed a couple AWACs stationed. RAF Akrotiri is on high alert with several Typhoon and GR4s coming along with tankers. 2 Nimrods facing scrap have been delayed. Up to 40 combat aircraft will be provided by RAF.
US force position:
USN will only launch TLAMs against the IADS. Obama made it clear "I am not authorizing any soldiers or fighter planes." If push comes to shove, the Big-E can come but not likely. Support flights will come out of Italian bases. 2 ABs, 1 LPD, 1 LPH and 1 SSN are in the Med. More SSNs are said to be dispatched.
