Business Insider: The US military is changing the way it fights after it 'failed miserably' in a war game against an aggressive adversary who knew its playbook
* The US military is changing its new warfighting concept after a war game last fall.
* During the simulated conflict, the US military strategy "failed miserably," a US general said.
* The exercise reportedly involved a confrontation with China over Taiwan.
The US military put its new warfighting concept for future warfare to the test in a wargaming exercise last fall and it did not go well,
Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. John Hyten said Monday, multiple defense outlets reported. "Without overstating the issue, it failed miserably," Hyten said at the National Defense Industrial Association's Emerging Technologies Institute, according to Defense One.
"An aggressive red team that had been studying the United States for the last 20 years just ran rings around us," the general said, according to Defense News.

ReplyDeleteWell, China is what it has become primarily because of the US--in many, many respects. Though they are famous for copying anything they can get their hands on, they are also far more savvy than they let on. Time to not only update the playbook, but dump it altogether and start with a clean sheet. Unfortunately, I doubt our leadership structure has a clue as to how to go about something like that.
ReplyDeleteHave they considered spending ungoldly and unjustifiable amounts of freshly printed money?
