Threat level isn't only about whether the threat is losing influence. It's literally what it is. In other words, the capability of a threat decides the level. Imagine in the shoes of the people behind the Operation Fighter's Honor strategy. The rebels have gathered their assets and solidified their strength in a few key areas, Snider's Top, Port Edwards, and St Ark. What if Phoenix can't take on a force that large in one battle? And what if that red fighter decides to intervene again? So, the only way to boost the chance is to boost his abilities. The whole strategy relied on him spearheading the counter-offensive, and thus his survival was paramount.

The key phrase here is "suppress the rebellion," and what I have in mind regarding that is it's much more comparable to Trigger flying F-22A that was tuned by Avril to its best to fight the ZOE Ravens, "to end the war."
