Dear Benzi:

 

Of course… would be my pleasure!

 

Below are links to PDFs of the articles I provided Maj Gen Halevi this morning—you can download the PDFs from those sites. That’s probably better than actually sending you the PDFs directly, which may choke your computer, LOL! But if you really want the PDFs sent directly, I can do that.

And attached is the graphic (its an MS Word document) that I am working on regarding US carrier deployments and deterrence. The numbers regarding pro-Iran proxy attacks in Iraq are accurate enough for our purposes, even if they are not 100% accurate. The analysis that will go with the graphic can be found on pp. 11-13 of my transition paper on the Future Role of the U.S. Military in the Middle East, here (though I will be updating and consolidating it):

Hope these help.

 

Please confirm receipt and let me know if I can be of any further assistance!

 

Best,

 

Mike

 Michael, it was great meeting you today. 

 

MG Halevi asked to see if we can get a PDF version of the packets you gave him this morning. Also, you mentioned during the conversation you have a graph showing the level of deterrence during US carrier deployments- is that in the studies you handed him or is that something separate?
