Prepping for HHGs. Found this, a letter to my girlfriend, now wife, from Ranger School. 2002. Talking about MT Yonah, blueberry pancakes and no sleep. The last half was dedicated to what to put into our care packages…mostly peanut butter. Last line: “P.S. thanks- we’re starving”
@MorrisKarlen I think maintaining as many forms of contact matter too. The goal would be to use up as many opposing resources as possible ensuring they waste their counters. What good is a sophisticated system if it is used it in the wrong space or defeated by multiple low budget items?
Last day in CMD. Went out for a quiet run with CSM for one last time. Rounded the corner and DRAGON was formed up. Perfect moments can be had, but never preserved. This was one of those moments. You never know the impact we make on others. I will never be the same. Thank you 1-82
One of the best aspects about Dynamic Front is that our observers were able to train with our partners, using their equipment, occupying their OPs. It was fascinating to see the strengths of each nation, in action, during live fire.
Final day of DF21 ended in the massing of fires of four great nations: US, Poland, Ukraine and Denmark. 1-82 was presented a signed battle flag from our Ukrainian partners. Each of us had something that was much stronger than the other...it was true. #StrongerTogether@7thATC
@gdrut This is true, the accuracy i was referring to is related to version control and TLWS production. Refinements come in but at different times and then never updated. Often the TLWS and schedule are out of synch. When used ICW an FA Tech this becomes apparent. TY for clarifying!
A schedule of fires is extremely useful for training. It anchors firing units to something specific to rehearse during the FA Tech and forces verification of an accurate target list worksheet (critical). Users also have to know when effects are needed and when to cease loading.
What a great day. TOT at 0800. Massed 6 firing units from 4 countries. Executed 2 x schedules of fire with one being 30 min of continuous suppression. Serviced 14 hours of dynamic targets sent from 41st FAB over 800km away through HF DIG. I live for days like today!
