That’s why we have a head shed in the pentagon. How many contingency plan are there for every threat? Having equipment on standby is the done routinely. I’ve packed, shipped, rerouted, unpacked, made ready, then had orders rescinded and done all in the reverse for training deployments as an advance party. This is what a mobile adaptable force does. Protecting assets is a priority only if you’re a business I guess.
