Attacks on power plants. Been done before. Not a great track record. https://media.defense.gov/2017/Dec/29/2001861964/-1/-1/0/T_GRIFFITH_STRATEGIC_ATTACK.PDF

<yawn> give it a day and he'll be posting about negotiations with the regime.

Sounds like the second aviator has been recovered. I have no doubt Hollywood studios are already jockeying to produce the movie. I wonder who will play Hegseth?

Yes, I remember those days. Ridiculous. To be honest, we were overtrained. At last glance, Army policy is reservists join 60 days prior to deployment - it has been extended to 90 days on some occasions due to calendar issues requiring some more time. Sometimes, it is also individual...

It can be done in one with some home unit training on either side of the summer. We don't, and never have. That being said, the training time required to prepare an element for operations shouldn't be overestimated. A good chunk of that time is administrative in nature, to include using leave.

Also, I'm not understanding the tenor of this thread that seems to indicate that in the future the Reserves are going to be regulated to sitting on some powerplant. Opportunities for individual augmentees to deploy on expeditionary operations will still exist, as will training for combat...

PS - pre-deployment training is not 6 months.

But you did teach protection from air threats. Old wine, new bottle. Few points: For many of them during the first three years of fighting, it was. And this five week period was imposed by the Ukrainians, not by western trainers. And the training was not massively deficient, despite what some...

How is training for "ancient warfare" in 1944 any different than training for "modern warfare" now? 25 weeks of basic training is a peacetime luxury. We've produced Ukrainian infantry recruits in 5 weeks.

You are actually not far off from the reality of things.

CJOC does not set quotas for reservists on a mission, that is all imposed by the Force Generator.

Yeah, but we don't teach Western Civilization and its texts anymore because its racist.

3D Chess by the White House? :unsure:

Nope. See the FRAGO.

From Mad Dog, the guy who used to own all the Iran CONPLANs.

They missed their shot.

The following report, if true, answers many questions. Also, "unnamed serving sources" might be an indicator of scapegoating. Victory has 100 fathers, but defeat is an orphan.

Special military operation.

It is often a mistake to not consider that people say what they mean. In most cases, they often do. CENTCOM is clearly executing a campaign plan. The President spoke to this in the very first days of the conflict, mentioning that the war was intended to last four to five weeks. I have zero doubt...
