Prepositional Phrases and Objective Complements
Would prepositional phrases be considered objective complements?
In the sentence: Nazi Germany had threatened an armed invasion of Czechoslovakia.
Would "of Czechoslovakia" be considered an objective complement? Doesn't it modify invasion, the direct object? Also, would "an armed" work as an objective complement? Thank you very much guys.

'Of Czechoslovakia' modifies 'invasion' indeed, so it is a post-modifying adjective. 'An' is an article and 'armed' is a attributive adjective of 'invasion'. '
