Internal Affairs is already on this and a couple of deputies are underinvestigation/soon to be arrested. The Sheriff thinks/has reason to believe this is an inside job. Guarantee they're running to Houston, Dallas or Atlanta. They always do. Betcha one other thing. US Marshals are already spooling up to hunt these fucks down. They always do.

The Army outdid the Marine Corps...Army’s multi-domain task forces central to contesting Chinese, Russian strategies via Stars and Stripes

 via Stars & Strips

A decade ago, Navy Adm. Harry Harris challenged a roomful of Army leaders to think beyond land. “The Army’s got to be able to sink ships, neutralize satellites, shoot down missiles and deny the enemy the ability to command and control its forces,” Harris, at the time in charge of what is now U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, said at the 2016 Land Forces Pacific symposium at Waikiki Beach. Today, the Army’s three multi-domain task forces — with two more in the works — may be the most tangible result of Harris’ charge. “Multi-domain task forces in the field now, as I utter these words, in commission now, represent the centerpiece of this response … and this fundamentally alters the strategic calculus in the contested environment,” Adm. Samuel Paparo, today’s INDOPACOM commander, said Tuesday in the keynote speech opening this year’s LANPAC.

Ya got to give the doggies credit.

They transformed their force without wrecking their capabilities.  They maintained their core and ADDED TO IT!

The Army outdid the Marine Corps.

I've said for a long time now that the "Stand In Force" is a "wait and die" force.  It will reveal enemy locations (generally) by their calls for assistance while being pelted with missile fires from long range.

Berger and now Smith risked it all and came up empty.

Will they revert to a global force in readiness?  I can only wonder.  What I do know is that you had better keep an eye on the 101st Airborne.  They're in line to get the Army's new tiltrotor first.  They're practicing large scale, long range air assaults.

The Marine Corps wants to use big decks for everything but assaults?  The Army will fill those decks with their birds and do what the Marine Corps says they don't anymore.

Force Design 2030 was and is an evolutionary dead end.

I have to wonder what is going on here.  To be clear.  I WASN'T THERE SO I DON'T KNOW!

Having said that its obvious that mistakes were made by the female cop.  I don't know her reasoning for those actions.

What I do know for certain is that she's lucky to be alive, lucky that the male officer eradicated the threat, and lucky that the threat didn't steal her gun and her car and cause mayhem/death/destruction across the city.

They dodged a HUGE problem...even with the inevitable second guessing that I'm sure has already started.  Sucks to be her (even though she survived).

4th Evolution of Vertical Envelopment...Video by Sgt. 1st Class Joshua Joyner

Video highlighting the evolution of vertical envelopment, starting with paratroopers in World War II, UH-1 Iroquois in Vietnam, Air Assault in Desert Storm to the Large Scale, Long Range Air Assault of today which is capable of moving a brigade's worth of combat power over 500 miles in one period of darkness. The future of Air Assaults will include the use of drones to disrupt and destroy enemy positions and capabilities, allowing the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) to infiltrate and engage with the enemy.

Maneuver Warfare is More Than Rapid Movement

 

This one might be worth skipping. I swear to the good Lord above. Marine Officers no longer speak plainly. It's like they all get hit with the same damn virus at the same damn time. Next this bubba is talking philosophy. Are you shitting me! This is a quote from his article.

Maneuver warfare is by no means dead. Its critics have missed the point that maneuver warfare is a philosophy, not a doctrine. Maneuver transcends the other forms of warfare. It centers on defeating the fighting spirit of the opponent through a unique combination of methods designed for the situation at hand.

So we no longer defeat the enemy by fire and maneuver.  NO!  We defeat the enemy's spirit by maneuver.

These are the people and the thinking that will defeat the Chinese?  God save us!

Interesting.

China is a closed society so we don't know much about whats going on inside but open source says that many young and middle aged people are dying suddenly (covid vaccines).  Additionally there is a brain drain going on.  They're restricting passports because so many are leaving.  Now this.

Things are bad for the dragon.
