Where does SOCCENT play in this? See how this goes? It is just redundant dumbassery and make up work. Did CJFLCC/3A really make that big of a difference in deconflicting terrain and tasks?


No they didn't. It was just there because its parent org had already fricked itself with excessive bloat before the war even started.

If your command is a 6 letter acronym with a / followed by a number and another letter, you're probably a bit bloated.

Yep. Totally agree. We have divisions brigades, and battalions already. No need for this other shite. Just put the joint service components subordinate to the highest level ground commander in theater.

Yeah i know there was a big problem before we had the current setup. No question about it. I think I agree with GT23 that COCOMS have to go. Ill Type up a deal when I get a chance sharing what i think should happen.


If we are going to make these alt-mil PME's a regular occurrence the above subject matter would lead into that USAF roll back into Army discussion.

There should be a navy and an army. The navy should be big and strong and the army intermittent, voluntary, and flexible. Most permanent members should be cadre.

Yes, with the air forces belonging to the Army and the Marines belonging to the Navy.

I'd also be open to the idea of a new branch for Cyber/Space/Nuclear warfare. Although I think the nuclear mission could probably be performed by the Navy anyway. But space and cyber are two completely new realms of warfare. And this new branch wouldn't be required to have the same rank structure or recruiting process as the Army and Navy. A blank canvas if you will to start a new branch. Physical fitness standards could be low and educational standards could be high. Pay could even be higher and drug use regulations more lax for all the fricking pothead hackers. The only problem is I haven't come up with a cool name for this new branch.

Just some thoughts. Open to suggestions.

I was thinking maybe CJERKOFFLIK X3LUBE. Is that one already taken?

Make sure that goes on my DA 67-9 (Senior Field Grade Plate).
