Actually there are divisions of the U.S. military like
82nd airborne and, in my case, the now defunct 7th
light infantry division that have rotating rosters of
high alert readiness at all times. Thus at any time
the U.S. can have troops deployed and on the ground
anywhere in the world in less than 48 hours. Which is
also why many soldiers don't even know where they are
going, because they barely have time to pack.
