Rest of the Pacific... Canton, Palmyra and Christmas Islands are being slowly turned into defensive positions... 2nd USMC Div is planned for Canton... or maybe I shall do the same with the 24th Div from PH? I don't know yet... RCTs shall be sent to Palmyra and Christmas Islands... I am not very keen on sending troops to Fiji... too far away for now... less bases but with better defenses is what I need.
