This excerpt refers back to happenings that took place in Volume I in 2006 when we lost the airbase. In Volume IV, over three years later, we take it back.
The 159th is a real outfit and using them as the unit to man security at the base after we take it back is the result of a direct request by the actual SFS and 1st-shirt of that outfit who have been following the series.
wow. You answered "Sir, yes sir!" huh? =o)
