There was just a recent news release that the United States, French and British forces have began enforcing the no-fly zone in Libya, however as seen by the French who were the first to act this is going to be a no movement zone for the Libyan military.

I knew immediately that just a no fly zone would work, the Libyan forces could do just as much if not more damage to the civilian population than they can with their limited air force. I am going to do my best to keep this blog updated with actions going with the relief in Japan as well as what is now going on in Libya. Right now the names of the vessels currently deployed in the area are hard to locate. I do know that right now the United States has no Aircraft Carriers in the area and are relying on cruise missiles which can be quite effective in curtailing ground threats toward any civilian populations, though one of the aircraft carriers currently in the Persian Gulf can be moved their within a few days.

We do know also that the US, French and British Air forces are within striking distance from Europe and that the Canadian military are moving air assets to include CF-18 Fighter Jets  to assist from Sicily and the HMCS Charlottetown is already in the Libyan area.   I will keep this blog updated as much and as fast as I possibly can.
