looking at the huge inventory spread across japan, korea and guam it seems unlikely that BD will be home for a major AAW SAG, submarine or aviation task force as these facilities would make more sense in east asia.
what they could trying for is
- a fuel, food and R&R righs aggrement for fleet ships to call in a replenish
- perhaps a USMC presence with a couple of MEU type ships under the guise of natural disaster training, anti-terrorism, anti-piracy, interoperability and usual apple pie stuff.
for sure there will be ELINT assets on such ships coming and going.
the US by throwing money, business ops , honeytraps using blondes on foreign trips , swiss account details and green cards will quickly be able to co-opt BD political and business elite into whatever 'cause' is the cause of the hour. china can hardly compete as a attractive place to send the kids to or make money from. US has all the levers and their hands around swiss bank account gonads.
submarines would already be sneaking around under BOB to spy on our naval exercises, comms and missile tests nothing new there.
imo we seeing the endgame in the chinese intrusion into BD and Myanmar, both are being capped, roll backed and eliminated by Khan. but the big problem is Khan seems to have no intention to leave now
