How often is playing possums a solid battle field tactic to use against the enemy or entrenched fighters?

Are there stories of sqauds playing possums to get a jump on the enemy or is it just a myth associated with the act of playing possums?

Imagine wandering into an enemy base and all you see are dead guys lying around, but in reality they're just playing possums and as soon as you relax they have you right where they want you?

Post good tactics using this technique ITT if you have them.

Would you trade a late-70's Colt Combat Commander .45 ACP for a Colt 6920? I like the 6920, but the handgun has been doing nothing but rising in value over the years.

>Why is the Navy’s largest shipbuilder looking for a subcontractor in China?

>Senior executives from a major U.S. defense contractor toured China last month as part of their search for a foreign company to build a dry dock for U.S. Navy ships, with the help of the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. The trip raised eyebrows both inside the Pentagon and among experts who don’t believe a Chinese company should be involved in U.S. military-related projects.

>The company, Ingalls Shipbuilding, is a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries, which advertises itself as “America’s largest military shipbuilding company” and has built more U.S. Navy ships than any other military shipbuilder. Ingalls is based in Mississippi. The problem is, it needs a new dry dock to build ships there and says there are no American companies that can do it. So Ingalls is looking abroad for help.

>Last month, senior Ingalls executives traveled to China for two weeks to visit several different ports. They also met with officials at the U.S. Consulate in Shanghai, a meeting facilitated by a very powerful Mississippi lawmaker.

>“The staff of Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS), the Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, has requested that Consulate Shanghai meet with a Mississippi constituent company Ingalls Shipbuilding,” wrote an official from the State Department’s legislative affairs bureau in a July 19 email I obtained. “The constituent is looking for a new Chinese vendor to build a new drydock for their shipbuilding company. They would like advice from the Consulate to walk them through how to do business in China.”


TOP KEK

On the other hand, China has experience in building dry-docks. After all, the PLAN's huge expansion rests on China's efficient shipyards and their hardware.

>DAVAO CITY — Various groups are urging President Rodrigo Duterte to end agreements with the United States following his declaration of pushing for an independent foreign policy and the pullout of US Special Forces in Mindanao.

>Multisectoral organization Sanlakas said they welcome Duterte’s declaration and said he “must go beyond rhetoric by revoking the Visiting Forces Agreement, Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement and similar military agreements with US consistent with its desire to pursue an independent foreign policy.”

>“In the same vein, sovereignty should be the primordial and an underpinning principle governing how the Philippines should relate to other countries, including China,” the group said in a statement on Tuesday, September 13.

>In a speech in Malacañang on Monday, September 12, Duterte said the US Special Forces have to leave Mindanao. He said he wanted to review the foreign policy before

>“Hindi ko lang masalita noon (I just cannot talk about it before), out of respect or I do not want a rift with America, but they have to go,” he said.

>The President also presented images of the US operations in Mindanao showing Moro people killed violently by US troops during the time of American colonization. He said the images were from a “US archive”.

>Duterte also announced that he will push for an independent foreign policy following the conclusion of the ASEAN Summit in Vientiane, Laos.

>“In relations with the world, the Philippines will pursue an independent foreign policy. We will observe and insist – I repeat, I insist – on the time honored principles of sovereign equality, non-interference and commitment to the peaceful settlement of disputes to best serve our people and protect the interests of our country,” he said during the arrival ceremony at the Davao International Airport on Saturday midnight, September 10

Most Iraq war analysis focuses on the "big players" - generals, politicians, etc. But what errors were made at the small-unit (right down to platoon) level which hindered decisive victory over the jihadi insurgents?

I started playing through Opposing Force again, and although it's a good game, is anyone else bothered by the dialogue? Even though Shepard is supposed to be USMC, characters over and over refer to him as "soldier". In the training mission the Drill Instructors say "Now move, soldier", over and over. How could they get this wrong? In the same training mission, the recruits or whatever reply with the "Sir, yes sir" Sir sandwich, and the mission can't decide whether it's supposed to be basic training or advanced infantry training.

Fuck it, I'm ready to start digging.

What's the best way for me to survive the following;

An artillery barrage

A bunker buster bomb

A 1 megaton nuke

Looking to build a bunker that can withstand all three, bunker thread?

Thanks

Looks like British are moving ahead with a recapitalisation of their older vehicles (Land Rovers, Pinazgauers, etc.).

MRV-P Group 1,(750 vehicles all up; liaison, command and control and logistics) will be satisfied with an off the shelf purchase of the JLTV/L-ATV from Oshkosh through FMS

Group 2, (180 troop carrying vehicle and 70 protected ambulance) has five competitors.

BAE Systems/Penman, Zephy MRV
GDLS-UK/GD-ELS (MOWAG), Eagle V
Rheinmetall MAN, Survivor R
Mercedes Benz, Unimog
Thales/Thales Australia, Bushmaster

Who do you think will take group 2?
