The FLAGG would have 3-4 Skystrikers, one of those goes down, a replacement comes up from Fort Hama to replace that one on the FLAGG. In the same sense, there needs to be replacement crews. So the crews serving on the FLAGG wouldn't serve year round, 4 month "shifts" or so and then be rotated back to base.
Also, if there's a mission need for a Skystriker over the Pacific and the Flagg is in the Atlantic at the time, the fighters would probably come from Fort Hama.
There would also be a component for mission support for missions in South America that would most likely come out of Fort Hama.
I guess that makes sense. The only problem with Flying over the Pacific or vice versa is that it would take hours to get to the mission. Then Ace has to drink a Red Bull and pop some MaxAlert to wake up before a dogfight with Wild Weasel.
I've often toyed with the idea of the joes having specific theaters they operate in with various commanders. Like a European Theater, African, South American, Middle East/Persian Gulf(This is where the Flagg should be). But then we have the same problem with moving around the large equipment and Aircraft. And how much would be required to be sufficient.
Although I think that they would really only get to use much of the large equipment when fighting in some rogue state, where the government has collapsed. Like much of Africa, parts of south and Central America, the Middle East right now and maybe some islands of the South China Sea where there are Pirates and terrorist safe havens.
