Higgs can only be retrieved from three things: The Breaches (home to the Antagonists), select Antagonist corpses (relatively trivial amounts), and Higgs Generators (which are carried exclusively by Type Zero Antagonists).
Once you have a generator, it will continue to produce Higgs particles, but the relatively limited output means that one generator cannot supply, say, an entire theater's worth of Valkeries. There usually assigned to Arcologies, or exceptionally badass Valkeries.
The next Higgs generator captured, is likely already penned down for Anna, or the Ginnungagap Cannon (which itself may require several, depending on how fast Higgs are generated, the amount required per shot, and desired firing rate).

I don't think anyone will say boo if we eat a Higgs Generator next chance we get a TZ down. Who is going to stop us?
That said seems likely Koujirou will get one eventually.

Protagonists in anime usualy get out-of-context solution to all the problems. Macross is good example - whole armada of mechas, and then someone sings opponents into compliance.
I suspect Koujirou will get something in style of super-affinity for demipotence. And it would let him force his own (quite moronic) rules over antagonists, equaling his chances regardless of power of opponent. Rules like 'only melee attacks does any damage' or 'impeller does not work'. And then he can face type zero, as it is suddenly about as strong as him cannot fly, etc. He can have his climatic melee battle finishing with him standing on the corpse of opponent just when time limit of his skill is running out. <insert heroic pose and blinding sun reflection on white teeth>
Things like that.
I only hope it will not make all Anna skills, power and contribution meaningless.

Huh, I don't remember it. Do You recall where it was mentioned?
Don't we already have a Higgs Generator or something?

We have a power generator ang a Higgs Engine. So no.
Well, Higgs tanks exist, so sharing Higgs is canon.

So basically we should have Anna Draw out whats she does with the waveforce and then attache the terms used in the math to the picture in her next teaching attempt?
Not exactly. Anna understand what she is doing. But it is an understanding that is impossible to put into spoken words. Attempt to translate it to format understandable by others turned it to advanced math equations. There was no other way to do it. High mathematics was needed to describe the effects. Those equations contains set of precise instruction for impeller operations others can follow to replicate effect - but it does not give them intristic understanding why they need to do given moves. Or how it generates effect. Or what else they can do.
Math is math. Anna can visualize the effect, imagine how it works and discover new variations. Others needs to do it through medium of mathematics.

No, drawing assumes what she's doing can be represented visually. Anna is sensing what she's doing with exotic, Valkyrie provided senses that she can only process as fundamentally as she does because she's so attuned to Durga. Other, more limited Valkyries have to try and ascribe normal human sense-analogs to what they're doing, but she doesn't.
Which is part of the reason she has trouble explaining what she's doing. Human languages aren't designed to describe non-human sensory input. She ends up having to use loose terms like 'until it feels right' because there is no term for what she's perceiving.

A fair point, but they might be reluctant to supply one while Anna is recovering/learning how to act in a group at school instead of serving on the frontlines.

I'm not so sure. If it involves us working on Wave Force or going to the front, we probably will get first pick.

They already gave Anna two tanks of Higgs. For not much more than interdiction practice. Unless she starts consuming truly titanic quantities, they'd probably hand her whatever she asked for.
Yeah, that 1 in our ranking kind of means we get to ask for whatever we want. We might even have to justify it.
E: Granted it was WF related, but we got approval for our research project and promise for any resource we needed from the academy within 30 seconds of proposing it.
E: Also every simulation uses Higgs. It's not so rare that you can't book a practice room just as a regular cadet.

Decide on a favourite food or favourite food type! Doesn't matter if you classify them by region, type or anything;
[X] Pancakes with maple syrup.
Which matches of the Squadron Vanguard tournament will you be going to see?
Accept Commentary request?
[X] No. You will watch all the matches involving your squadron. As the matches take place simultaneously, you will only be watching the matches from your own squadron.
Commentating is fucking stupid. Even if everything goes right, she doesn't like being the center of attention at all. The odds of everything going right are tiny too. Even she knows she's bad with explanations even with technical things, and the idea of using her as a color commentator is insane. At best she views blue-on-blue action as distasteful and is traumatized by engaging in it. She has a history of at least minor freak-outs when she's confronted by things she finds distasteful—seriously, she had a freak-out over taking a shower. A shower.
On the flip side, she seems like she's becoming a bit more accustomed to friendly contact in limited numbers, especially when she isn't the center of attention.
Forcing someone into a traumatizing situation isn't healing, it's (gasp!) traumatic. Light exposure, in a manner where she isn't stuck there if she becomes too uncomfortable, is the way to go.

Bad news I'm afraid, the vote was called, and a majority disagree. Sorry about that.
On the bright side, commentators are never really the center of attention. That honor goes to whatever it is they're supposed to be rambling about, to which they are merely window dressing.

Nope, it here is how the scene would end:
The episode would end at Perth, credits would roll. Instead of previews for the next episode, the black screen would slowly fade into the scene with Sandra and Anna, but would START with Sandra falling to her knees. The camera would be facing her, and you would be able to see the shock and terrible awe on her face. The wind would begin to blow through her hair as the camera begins to pan to Sandra's view. The music for the Pain character from Naruto Shippuuden would begin to play as Anna enters the view, wreathed by Sunset (don't remember if it was nighttime or not heh), slightly shadowed by the light. Her posture would be vague, to be taken as either threatening, or inspiring. And the anime audience would be left wondering what the hell just happened that brought Sandra to her knees.....and what THE FUCK is up with that 'straight man' girl, Anna?!
It would invest Anna with an air of mystery and danger that would see her blaze up in conversation topics like fire on dry hay.

Once again just no.
Guile
Having a really great time right now
One way to do it in a preview tease would be to have Sandra go, 'Why, Anna? Why does STRATNET want you in the African theatre? That's the heaviest fighting in the entire war!' And then cut to an extreme close-up of Anna opening her mouth to speak, and end preview tease.
Alternatively, the epic shots with dramatic camera angles of Durga's impeller extending out, branches covering the entire town... the music swells... and then she starts puttering around fixing sewer lines.
