For some reason 6-month feels significatly shorter than I would have expected.

I think "with the current pace of operations" is the important part. They could probably prolong it a lot more by pacing themselves more, but this is, I would guess, meant to signal how prepared they are to treat this like a marathon in the face of belligerence from the empire.

It does say at least l, so perhaps it's an extremely conservative estimate.
