USA - Preparing for a European Front and a 2nd Asian Front - 25 Feb to 02 Mar 1943

25 Feb 1943: I send Destroyer Flotilla 1 to patrol in the Iberian Coast region.
I create 3 Air Groups, 2 with B-17 Bombers and 1 with P-38 Fighters, at our Airbase on the Azores.
I plan increasing the Infrastructure in 4 States in order to gain more Resources.
26 Feb 1943: I import Steel from Argentina.
I ask for Military Access in Spain and it is granted. I already have access to the French Commune.
I change the mission of Destroyer Flotilla 1 from Patrol to to Convoy Escort.
I assign the 4th and 5th Armoured Divisions as well as the 65th Assault Division to 1st Army which is earmarked for Europe.
I order Strike Fleet Cooke to patrol in the Mid Atlantic Gap.
27 Feb 1943: I then order Pilot Exercises for its 3 Carrier Air Groups.
Five divisions of 5th Army are now off the coast of Ceylon.
The Germans are studying Rocketry. Ominous. On the map green is German-occupied Russia while red is for countries which are at war with Germany so we have a possible land route for 5th Army.
I ask Pakistan for Military Access and it is granted.
I divert 5th Army's convoys to Karachi, Pakistan.
28 Feb 1943: I add the Bay of Biscay as a 2nd Region for Destroyer Flotilla 1.
01 Mar 1943: The situation in Western and Southern Europe. Axis forces have recaptured Rome.
I have a trained 92nd Philippine Infantry Division which I assign to the Okinawa Detachment.
Resistance is looking good at the moment but it varies wildly. Also the 6 divisions in Training Army are being shipped to the Azores.
I add an extra Assault Division and Armoured Division to our Recruitment schedule.
I'm hesitant about recruiting too many divisions at the same time because I don't want deficits again when we have intensive combat.
