Can anyone figure out what's going on here?

I suspect that the idea will be to use NAF Brunswick like many of the
overseas forward operating bases; deploy detatchments of P-3s for maritime
surveillance in the North Atlantic as needed.

Keeping it open as a NAF also keeps some of the anciliary activities going
(Winter SERE training is done there, for example).
