#1 What's to say the Drill story is media cover?
Because the only differences between a Drill and Invasion is about the 48 to 72 hrs it takes to perform the landing and Military Occupation. Otherwise, isn't everything is already loaded for bear (troops, logistic supplies, food, fuel, Amphibious craft, ammo, air support, (Drones) and etc..)

Stern Warning
Also a harpoon up your ship's tailpipe is our version of a stern warning.
