Talisman Sabre 2013. Unimpressive.



I've been bored to tears with Talisman Sabre 2013.  Quite honestly the highlight of the entire exercise was the Airborne Unit that flew from Alaska and did a jump into theater.  That demonstrated something new and unique (at least as far as this exercise is concerned).  I'd love to see the US Army become a bit more involved and start working with the Air Force or even Sea Lift Command to marry up a Stryker Brigade or to deploy a Brigade or two from the 82nd into the area rapidly.

Marine Corps operations will be focused on the MEU and with real world ops continuing I don't expect to see much happening....a table top with MEB staff working with Army, Air Force, Navy and Allies might be the biggest thing we see there.

But back to Talisman Sabre.  Snooze fest galore.
