ALPHA STATION - CHAPTER ONE
UNITED STATIONS QUICK REACTION FORCE
In 1978, the United Nations created a quick reaction force able to respond to crises around the world in minimal time.  Though due to the large number of flare ups in the Middle East, this force was established to handle conflicts anywhere.  Many countries donated equipment and manpower to the cause, but a few nations saw the opportunity to contribute to a cause able to potentially stop hostilities before they flared into regional affairs.  These countries, the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany, donated the bulk of the larger equipment.  The United States in particular, donated several smaller aircraft carriers and the aircraft to staff them as well as two full air transport units.
