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...

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...

Of course they did. There are standing CONPLANS in CENTCOM for this. Doesn't mean they were pulled off the shelf. One report cited a source stating that when the Chairman briefed POTUS, the latter was convinced that the country would overturn the regime after a decapitations strike and if the...

It isn't necessary to try to divine US strategic objectives in this war - Hegseth and Caine explicitly listed them in a press conference: Dismantle Iran’s missile launch capability Degrade Iran’s defense-industrial base Degrade Iran’s navy Prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon The one...

It sure would be useful to have a functional second house based on regional vice population representation.....

That's the job of dets in the platoon or, even more appropriately, the company.
