Recruit people with actual military commanding experience for starters, they'll know better than me and we cant start purely from scratch

Declare conscription. Declare everyone above 13 to be suitable for the service.

But don't you know? You can take as much graft as you want, as long as he gets his share.

I kill him immediately.

I let Germany take Austria and Czechoslovakia, and hope they are content.

>>33431388
I fuck your mom in the ass to keep the morale up

Cut the budget by 30% and start a massive downsizing program.

>they'll know better than me
lolno
modern military commanders are fucking clueless.
either they're from a country that's shit at war like the US or a country that's shit at everything like Iraq.

They know the organization, logistics, how things work and how they're supposed to work. They might not be proficient, or good at what they do, but they have an in-depth understanding built over decades that you cannot match in any real way without having done their job.

>you cannot match in any real way without having done their job.
Not true.
Not. Remotely. True.
This is just an empty platitude regurgitated by the working class to reassure themselves of their own value depsite the fact they have almost none and are easily replaceable.
In fact militaries are designed specifically to make their personnel as operationally dispensable as possible

Your average blue collar workers doesn't matter to anyone but themselves and perhaps family
Nowhere is this more true than the military.

Just to add on, training people takes time. Dessiminating skill and information takes time.

For example if I was dropped in the Great Lakes region 500 years ago and given modern comprehensive books on military planning and the political backing of the Algonquin people, I would be long dead before I got them to even the organizational level of Alexander's Macedonians.
Extend my life to 2 or 3 centuries, could possible.

Give me a few hundred European officers, different story.

Look at how quickly the British were able to raise colonial armies trained to the level of British troops.
Of course most of these units had shit morale because they didn't give a shit about European wars, but the training was there.

Call up USA to come and handle our defense.

Nuclear powered everything.

Don't fall for any "air power" memes

Only buy ground vehicles and light single person aircraft for scouting purposes.

This.
Loan out our airfields to US planes refueling against ISIL

Everyone knows the bomber always gets through
