Maybe not a huge increase in ARVs, that would give the Daily Record a heart attack, but a larger number of AFOs who can get fairly speedy access to weapons before relying on other areas or special forces.

Assuming they are sitting poised and beside a chopper it's still a lot longer than I'd like. I'm fairly sure they aren't just all holed up in barracks but even a few squads spread over populated areas wouldnt come close to dealing with a Mumbai style attack before horrendous casualties were caused.
