Stickers Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Hey guys, I have been doing a lot of research on war and peace lately for school and I was thinking about how I would handle what's going on in North Korea right now. I was toying with the idea of having PSYOP platforms broadcasting wireless Internet into the country but didn't even know if the US had the capability. During my research I came across Marine Corps Lieutenant General Paul K. Van Riper, and read about what he did at MC 2002. Pretty interesting read. As the commander of Red Forces, he decimated the US Navy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Challenge_2002 Sorry it's wikipedia... but that's where all the best research "starts" :smilewink: 1
aaron886 Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Yeah, it's a classic. He was highly criticized for what he did, too, which is unfortunate. I don't think anyone has the full story on who he is and why the perception of him was so negative, though.
Kaktus29 Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 this is funny)) haha.. in the first day he knocked the blue out) .. i can imagine the anger from the commanders and shame of loosing to red team so fast.. of course, i said the same thing in this forum many times.. when superior enemy is about to strike, you do not turn all your radars and sam's like a christmas tree in order to be destroyed by enemy SEAD..you wait for better moment.. but we have many generals here that said this is stupid.. what you need to do they told me is light the radars up so that blue team can wipe you out you see)) lol.. its called bias.. this whole 250 million experiment was there to justify existing doctrines not show big wholes in this strategy that blue employs today.. now we know why US is not so eager to employ the military option on Iran.. with such small space for the ships to move in the Persian Gulf ..i think there is no denying how messy and how many ships blue would loose.. but alas, i'm sure i will be rebuffed and assured it is not so.. like this millennum challenge was "changed" to properly show the superiority of Blue)) lol
