“There is no one to rescue us if we don’t get this right”
--Professor Fred Kagan, U.S. Military Academy on how the U.S. is
in the same super-power dilemma as England was in 1939, except
without a potential rescuer with huge industrial base and time to
re-arm & re-equip her if she fails to prepare for the right pattern of
Israel's big brother (U.S.) made up all IDF combat equipment losses and then some within a matter of days. We may not have that backup in a conflict of our own. If we are defeated early on it's entirely possible that no close airfields will exist for us to use. The entirely competent Israeli ground forces didn't need any large train up. They were ready-to-go as soon as they unloaded the equipment off the planes. We have a terrible time getting ready for gunnery and NTC deployments. Finally, our complicated electronic equipment may not be easily adapted to an existing situation. If the training and infrastructure don't already exist on the ground, introducing it might make things worse.
ITS TIME FOR THE U.S. ARMY TO RE-INVIGORATE WITH 2D/3D CAPABLE FORCES NOW USING EXISTING EQUIPMENT!
