Beta release of Bolt out of the Blue V10.0.

Helicopters doubtful to be pulled from all over to an area. They were on their own frequency and wouldn't know about situation unless informed by higher HQ. Then, you would have to make a couple of stops to refuel and rest depending on how far away they are coming from. They also, would not leave their area without helicopter support unless it was absolutely necessary. Bulge type of situation.

Border units were guards. Not meant for offensive action. I went on a border tour in 1980. All newly stationed soldiers were. In a tower, there were at most a squad with other personnel with other jobs. Where I was, they had a wall rigged with shotguns and dogs on 50' chains and 101' apart. So, when two dogs came together, there was only a one foot gap to squeeze through. The dogs were fed once a week and mistreated to keep them vicious. If anything, they would probably be rated E or F troops and it would take a lot of work to get them together for anything other than directing traffic, IMO.

The WP forces had actual Border Guards. Nato had actual units on border guard that rotated on a regular basis. When they were rotated off the border, they did in garrison stuff and field exercises and whatever else they had to do.
