Immediate Action in the Event of a German Invasion of Eire.
4.
53rd Division moves down from Northern Ireland, Train arrangements have been made for the immediate move of one brigade group, pending the provision of motor transport.
The Royal Marine brigade stationed at Milford Haven will be ready to move at shortest notice by the 22nd June; ships will be standing by. The destination of this brigade would have to be settled in the light of information received as to the enemy's action. Its role would be to seize a bridgehead for the landing of further troops.
One Regular division is being held in readiness in the United Kingdom to follow up the Royal Marine brigade as quickly as possible.
Air attacks would be made on the points of the German landings by the Battles in Northern Ireland. Further air forces could be turned on from the United Kingdom if circumstances there permitted.
