| Joint Forces Experiment Points to Way of the Future |
| 2006-10-31 |
| The Urban Resolve 2015 experiment, which ended Oct. 26, focused on how military operations can bring about stability in cities without destroying them. Dave Ozolek, executive director of the Joint Futures Lab at U.S. Joint Forces Command in Norfolk, Va., said Urban Resolve was the most “complex and important” experiment the U.S. military has conducted since Millennium Challenge in 2002. Ozolek briefed the press via a telephone conference call Oct. 27. The experiment looked at the challenges the U.S. military is likely to encounter in the near future, and cities will be the military, economic and political centers of gravity, Ozolek said. |

| #2 I guess it's escaped your mind that most of the worst battles the US armed forces have been in over the past five years have been in cities full of innocent bystanders? |

| #1 The Urban Resolve 2015 experiment, which ended Oct. 26, focused on how military operations can bring about stability in cities without destroying them. That talk about leaving the union back in 2004 after the election demonstrated a mighty low level display of intelligence. So, pay close attention San Francisco, Berkley, etc. Toss in the fair living conditions shown in New Orleans when a city is cut off from power, water, supplies, etc, you might want to ratchet back the emotional outbursts before they become too self fulfilling. |
