Got to say, this is quite plausible. I haven't played OWB's yet, and I always assumed the situation in Baja was just further expansion, but then I had to ask myself why would they send Veterans to Baja rather than focus on the Mojave from the offset, my first assumption was that they wanted a quick mop-up operation to secure the territory after the First Battle of Hoover Dam. Then I talked to Chief Hanlon who mentioned, "chasing ghosts." To me this was a obvious nod that Kimball and the NCR believed there was a serious threat there that couldn't be ignored, even with the War in the Mojave.
So I've got to say your theory is quite plausible indeed.
