Operation Citadel

With discussions with South American countries appearing to be less than fruitful, an alternative course was decided to allow flexibility regardless of future paths taken by the neighbors. Morocco and Somalia would serve as a basis for the militarization of Central America and the area surrounding the space elevator, with the relieved soldiers that had withdrawn from Arabia being sent into a very different environment after a short R&R session. A total of 250,000 marines and soldiers would eventually arrive in the American corporate holdings, not enough to act as a proper invasion force, but certainly enough to hold out until dominance of the oceans could be secured and reinforcements could arrive. Regular patrols of RQ-180s would begin along the various borders to observe opfor positions and allow warning to match any military buildups.

With war over and the canal systems nearing completion, the corporate navies upon the west coast of Central America took the journey through Nicaragua providing both coasts with equal defensive measures. The multispectrum radar system that was used elsewhere would quickly be attached to the various defensive systems in place, missiles and CIWS to ensure that the growing strongholds could be protected. Furthermore several container ships with TELs and ASBMs based off the DF-26B would unload in Galapagos, Belem, Bluefields,  San Juan del Sur, Hawaii, and several other locations, totaling 300 in all in the western hemisphere.

Several new bases were setup to house cyberwarfare divisions, primary corporate holdings were unconnected to the traditional internet so it was seen as a priority to create the ability to strike at potential opponents in the region without having to fire a shot. these new locales would begin to probe neutral country's internet services with spearphishing to find a few hundred less intelligent civilians to be used as slaved systems and provide an additional layer of cover for future actions.

Similarly, Corporate Naval forces would flood into the hemisphere, acting as a vanguard for the next several months until more entertaining designs could be fielded. Operating on a full war footing, electronic jamming and ghost signals were emitting from the waters surrounding the fleets,

A mobile directed energy weapons platform was a viable option to remove opposing aircraft from the sky or melt through enemy tanks, and testing began in earnest in the deserts of Morocco. Using a modified APC design that was determined to be too large for needs, the size allowed the frame to be a perfect basis to mount the additional batteries and turret that was required for such a design. In addition, a new scout vehicle, nicknamed the Stryder due to its similarities to a M1126 Stryker was the likely option for the job, and would also begin testing in the desert and in the jungles of South America.

Naval production continued at a brisk pace as always, with several nations attempting to match corporate dominance over the oceans the costs of production would always be cheaper than allowing an individual or several nationstate entities to reach parity and threaten the global stability the company had begun to enforce.

The Hawaiian, Galapagos, and Malaccan flotillas would begin to head into the Pacific Ocean, destinations predetermined, operations through p2p laser communications and full radio silence.

The vast swath of islands in the Pacific that went from Easter Island and Polynesia were incorporated and began to transform into little fortresses across the ocean, with major islands facilities being expanded as required to handle up to a carrier, even if it required offshore docking structures. The advanced radar and everything else defensive required to make a decent showing of protection was airlifted and floated in by sea as needed. It would take some time but the islands were going to serve as a basis for the next phase of corporate strategy. Observation of the extended Micronesian islands showed Regime movements in the area, it would appear that there was a roadblock to near term goals unless alternatives were found.
