Secret

Twenty four hours had passed and by now, all of the sailors, airmen, marines, soldiers and equipment would be on board the ships. All of the ships during this period would have been fully fuelled, all stocks would be completely full and ammunition would be full.

Out of Naval Station Norfolk, the USS Boxer, the USS Valley Forge, The USS' Milius, The Hopper, the USS Ross, the USNS Benjamin Isherwood, the USNS Sacagawea and the USNS Mendonca would all begin to depart from dock, at five minute intervals for each ship, mooring ropes would be released and tug boats would begin to guide the ships out of the naval station, the five minute intervals gave each ship enough time to make distance between one and the other to ensure that no accidents happened between them. Out of Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, however, the USS Colorado and USS Indiana would be unmoored and again guided at by Tugboats, the Submarine would have be fully fuelled and armed as listed above. The USS Antietam and USS Alaska, again however, would need five minute intervals as they both depart from Naval Station Mayport.

The ships from Norfolk would leave via FM and those from Submarine Base in Kings Bay would leave via FN. They were to both travel to GN and meet up to continue the rest of the Journey together. They would go from GN>HO>IP>JO. All radars and systems that havent been mentioned would be running to their maximum. They would take around 42 hours to get there.

Out of Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, the ten B-2 Bombers would have been fully fuelled and have its armaments put in place. One by one, they would begin to take off from the runways, leaving enough time between one another to not have a serious accident. They would travel EM>FM>GN>HO>IO>JO and would take around six hours to get there.

Out of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey, the fourteen 747-100s would have been fully fuelled by now and all of the soldiers would now be on board and in their seats. All of their equipment would be in the cargo hold, including weapons and ammo. Again, they would begin to take off leaving enough time between themselves to not have an accident, they would travel FN>GN>HO>IO>JO and would take around five hours to get there.

And once again, out of Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, the fourteen 747-100s would again have been fully fuelled and all soldiers would be onboard with their equipment in the cargo holds. They would travel FN>GN>HO>IO>JO and on take off, they would allow themselves enough space and time to not have an accident.

Once in the air, all of the 747s would space themselves out so nothing would happen between them, Norway (@Odinson) would be informed of the 747s on their way to Norway right now. It was also decided that Westover Air Force Base in Massachusetts. KC-135T Stratotankers from the 337th Airlift Squadron would be fully fuelled and again take off for Norway, they would travel FN>GN>HO>IO>JO and again would take around five hours to get there.

Britain (@Jamie) would also be contacted to let them know that air forces would be passing their airspace in IO and a naval force would be passing their territorial waters in IO.

CLASSIFIED: SECRET & PRIVATE

Oslo International Airport was now entirely closed to civilian traffic. The Ministry of Defense contacted General O'Shaughnessy and informed him that Oslo International Airport was at his disposal, and also formally gave the United States forces permission to enter Norwegian waters and airspace. In the event that they needed to refuel or conduct any repairrs, the American Navy had Port Vanvikan at their disposal. The American general - or whomever had overall operational command - was invited to set up shop at Akershus Fortress which is where the Norwegian High Command convened in times of war and crisis.

Classified

After five hours in the air, the 747-100s would have made their final approach into Oslo International Airport, they would have taken it in twos as there was two runways in the airport and all civilian traffic was closed. Two by two they would have began to land in Oslo, following any orders from the Norwegian Air Traffic Control on where to taxi and stop etc. When all the aircraft were on the ground, the troops would have began to disembark from the aircrafts and head inside the terminal to collect their belongings from the planes. The 215th Brigade Support Battalion would have been responsible for unloading everything in the cargo bays and delivering them to the men, they would have used the conveyor belts to help in this process.

After all of the 747s had landed, it was time for the B-2 Spirits to arrive, again they would begin to land in twos and again, follow Norwegian ATC orders on where to taxi and park, once they had came to a stop, members of the 63rd Fighter Squadron would begin to fuel up the aircraft with the aid of the Norwegian Ground Crews. The soldiers would be given a twenty four hour stand down whilst preparations to move out are made, and to wait for the ships to arrive. However the Commanding officers already on the ground would begin drawing up plans on where to station troops, a phone line would be set up with Norwegian command to keep in contact.
