DEPLOYMENT ORDERS |
|
CONTEXT
The National Security Council and the Joint Chiefs of Staff informed the President of increasing global tensions, including possible border skirmishes between Thailand and Burma. President Gore decided that it was in the direct interest of the United States to prevent (or stop) an armed conflict between Thailand and Burma. The President ordered the deployment of significant Navy and Marine Corps assets beginning with Carrier Strike Group One and Submarine Squadron 3. All of the aircraft from Carrier Air Wing Three were properly loaded aboard the USS Nimitz as the carrier and the other ships were prepared to set sail into the Pacific Ocean. Measures were taken to ensure that the fleet was well-prepared for this deployment with the appropriate amount of food, water, ammunition, weapons, and all other necessities needed for the mission to be a success.
