Re: Acceptable US Casualties Against 3rd World Armies

Russia has a very out of date navy right now. The two major units in the Russian Task Force shadowed by the Royal Navy recently, on its way to the Med, a Carrier and a large guided missile cruiser,...

Re: Acceptable US Casualties Against 3rd World Armies

One reason I was trying to avoid using the term 'peer'. We were using it it in game terms, for a well equipped battle group.

Obviously Strategic lift (air or sea) does not really fit into the game...

Re: Acceptable US Casualties Against 3rd World Armies

When I talk about 'Western Forces' most of the time I mean US/British/Old Commonwealth (ie, Canada, Australia and New Zealand). The Anglosphere, if you like.

My knowledge of, and interest in,...

Re: Acceptable US Casualties Against 3rd World Armies

I generally try to avoid as much military jargon as possible on here myself. Not sure it makes anything much clearer either, as, just to take your example, using the USA as a base I would probably...

Re: Acceptable US Casualties Against 3rd World Armies

In a COIN scenario that is a planned operation, say clearing a village, I think it would be fair to have the Western assets on call at the outset.

Also bear in mind these days you are likely to...

Re: Acceptable US Casualties Against 3rd World Armies

In some respects this is the most interesting speech at this Conference. He identifies a lot of common military thinking failures.

Re: Acceptable US Casualties Against 3rd World Armies

VERY good series ![/QUOTE]

Yes much of it is good.
I've now watched all of it and it was, in my opinion, very uneven.

The Four British Staff College officers were, with the partial exception...

Re: Acceptable US Casualties Against 3rd World Armies

I think this, sort of, fits here: This is some talks from the UK Royal United Services Institute on adapting the military for new challenges.
For my money the third speaker deserved more time...

Re: Acceptable US Casualties Against 3rd World Armies

Yes and no. If a section (squad I think in the US) on a routine patrol takes a serious casualty what you say can, sometimes, be true: ie, a man down halts the patrol (but it often also results in...

In my day (1980's) the British Armed Forces (Royal Navy...

Re: Acceptable US Casualties Against 3rd World Armies

Speaking as a Pom who lives in Aussie, I agree with what Suhiir said.

Modern (ie, certainly 2000 onwards) western censors, firepower and body armour all tend to reduce casualties against 3rd world...
