The Union Forever: A TL
- Thread starter Mac Gregor
- Start date
Wasn't Samoa in its' entirety a US territory at this point as well, or was that retconned?
And great update, Mac Gregor. I like that there's still an Army Air Corps.
Wow, I love this update! Events have been pretty interesting overall, but I like the detail put into the current state of the US Armed Forces like this (I'm something of an OOB nut, as you might detect 
), as well as a possible look into future issues with China.
Out of curiosity, where would you say the main Naval bases would be? I think that OTL has the fleet homeports being too centralized and/or easy targets for possible attack. Given that there seems to be not so much of a deficit post-Cold War ITTL as OTL, I'd think that BRACs would be less necessary/prevalent by comparison, and hopefully gives more options for base locations than what we have had to work with IOTL (e.g., NS NY for NorLant, either Norfolk or Charleston for SouthLant, etc.). Also, where would you say the bulk of bombers would be based out of in terms of Aviation Divisions?
Keep up the good work!

Where, exactly?
It's not explicit, but the specific reference certainly implies it.
Space operations have mostly been split between the Army and the Navy as seen by the name of America's principle spaceport the Leroy R. Connor Joint Army-Navy Airbase in Guiana. I will touch on the future of civilian space exploration in future updates.
Yes there is a U.S. imagery program called Eagle Eye, a German program called Mímisbrunnr, an IEF program called GLOSPUTIZO, and the British Commonwealth is working on one called Golden Hind.
Keep it up, Mac Gregor!
I liked this update! NAVIHO is a clever title
Thanks for the support guys!
Alternity9497 is correct. Samoa should all be a U.S. territory at this point.
Where, exactly?
I don't know about earlier but self driving cars (autos ITTL) are coming

Eastern Pacific: San Diego, California
South Pacific: Apia, Pacifica

Hey everyone, after several requests I am beginning a much belated attempt to post the finished segments in the finished TL forum. This will no doubt take a while so bare with me. I also will be reposting some pictures which have disappeared. Cheers!
Presenting the commanders of the Army of the Potomac.
Up first, Major General George Brinton McClellan (July 26, 1861 - May 13, 1862)

Now there's something to look forward to. Though I can see a lot of TTL people being somewhat worried.
Probably. Some people are worried about self driving car in OTL too. Usually people are nervous about all new technology.
