I believe the continental U.S. has fielded 4 x squadrons already. I read in the spring that Japan had received the first few of their order.
As to policies and plans, I'm sure their are very senior governmental/military officials that provide experienced analytical recommendations based upon sets of conditions/events; someone has them in a book. Whether they are followed really depends on the person/small group making the decisions.
It would be foolish not to contemplate a set of variables to go along with potential events. Otherwise, it would take the decision-maker to long to get input based on valued thoughts.
Someone has a big fat binder. The decision-maker just has to find the opinions that match the events that are happening.
Getting those opinions to the decision-maker would be to hard if someone knocked out all of our communications with an EMP burst.
The picture below could very well be a fake. It happens with many countries that are just trying to puff out their shirt.
