When US operators don't have a huge air superiority advantage, they usually just fold lmao.

    basically the navy was not used in a way that would not actually occur in an actual war

    What is this referring too, cause there's no mention of improper use of naval forces anywhere in the interviews or the after action report?

      this has excerpts from an interview from the blueforce commander. particularly the part about how the navy should normally be over the horizon and not right at the shore

        That ignores the fact that amphibious landing operations was the primary goal of blue team’s combat strategy as stated in the after action report and the fact the majority of the ships Riper sunk were amphibious landers or fire support ships, ironically the critique isn’t about Ripers tactics but the literal war strategy by US command in the event of a war with Iran which requires shoreline marine assaults along the Persian gulf

        It wasn’t a glitch it’s was US commanders unironically believing they could breach Iranian operational depth along the shore
