Why a deployment of 50 personnel is sufficient

1. They do not need to participate in direct combat; they only need to conduct shows of force to protect the freedom of navigation in the region.
This is similar to how Gwanghyegun would send 20,000 Joseon troops in a single day.
2. Except for other essential personnel, tasks can be carried out by PMCs.
Everything from perimeter security to unit maintenance can be handled by PMCs.
3. Sending only drone specialists and modern warfare specialists would be enough.
