Has surge recxently been redefined & I missed it?

160 sorties in a 12 hour day.

so I'm confused by the "surge" of 270 sorties in a 24 hour period as surge means sudden increase / move forward in my dictionary.

The "day rate" would equate to 320 in half an hour if rate maintained.

Or do they not use a shift system that allows for 24/7 offensive capabilities?
