If Finns need any more proof that we love you, realize that Tolkien built his whole world around your language.
As a Brit I mean no disrespect to my fellow US allies...... but .... Do whatever the Finns tell you. Finland has spent nearly a century preparing for war with Russian in some of the most bleak lands in "Northern Europe". The Finns are experts in the regional geography, experts in camouflage and experts in guerrilla warfare. NATO would be wise to learn from the Finns. Last time Russia tried to invade, Finland won the regional snowman competition. Google that .....its darker than you can imagine.

That, is a horrendous idea. Not because the Finns don’t how to defend against a Russian invasion, they definitely do, but because the doctrines of the US and Finland vary vastly and need adjusting since Finland joined NATO. The Finns don’t know how to fight with NATO by their side. Basically, the US military doctrine is centered around the idea of “shock and awe”. This means devastating the enemy with precision air/artillery ordnance, then moving in. This is shared by all anglosphere nations, with the other four relying on the US for logistical and air support, contributing mainly just ground troops. Aside from the Brits who are able to deploy some of their own air power. Finland’s doctrine is asymmetrical warfare, use borderline guerilla tacitcs to repel a larger, better equipped force. These two doctrines conflict with each other, and the equipment of each country is designed for their doctrine. So the Americans shouldn’t do whatever the Finns say or vice versa, they need to learn for their doctrines to work together. That’s the whole point of this exercise.
So much fun, i hope we can go back to train one day
Big win on Oman vs Uganda today feels awesome to win at T20 who else is celebrating wins tonight
The best thing about the forest is that when you stop, stay quiet and camouflage, the enemy will eventually come to you. The End. :)

Nailed a win with England vs Papua New Guinea didn’t expect such great odds who’s up for the next game
I wrote this in response to someone asking if they ever train to take trenches, and then it became entirely too long to be just a reply no one reads, so I decided to post this as a general message: In general, the US and NATO definitely have the discipline, knowledge, and training to execute successful attacks on trench defenses and well-defended emplacements utilizing the study of all past historical conflicts plus daily analysis of current conflicts and trends, including the weapons and tactics used by all sides (think of the Ukraine war as an ongoing graduate-level course with daily classes for thousands of stratefy-minded individuals within US/NATO). However, option 1 would still be to spend tens of billions in 5th generation and ultimately 6th generation air assets (into the next decade), drones, electronic warfare, air defense, SEAD/DEAD capabilities, and combined arms operations to actively suppress and destroy the enemy air assets, enemy air defenses, and effectively destroy all ground obstacles including trenches before rolling forward. There would be some inevitable losses and MANPADS will always present a threat, although I believe word would travel fast when all such aunches are promptly followed up by a counterattack on the originating grid square turning any launch into an effective suicide mission. Then the real question becomes: when Russia is absolutely defeated, all of their airfields are out of action and their remaining air assets well behind their borders out of the fight unless tehy want to be shot down, does Russia use nukes still, despite the fact the US has no interest in physically invading Russia? It becomes a serious issue, as their paranoia makes them believe NATO actually wants their largely empty country for unknown reasons or wants to actually kill people of Russian heritage, when in fact, Russia was not on the US's proverbial radar AT ALL until they foolishly decided to attack Ukraine, which about 90% of countries worldwide consider unprovoked and simply wrong.

Sadly they dont ever show that stuff, all we get to see in the media during any sort of NATO training (even going back years) is some soldiers moving from cover to cover and shooting at something out of view, they never really show any actual tactics or 'cool stuff', they probably have strict rules about whats allowed to be shown. Realistically, i dont think a trench with some mines and dragon teeth would be any sort of issue, if NATO were to ever rock up to Russian border they would just use a sh*t load of tanks, shoot ground to blow up the mines and blow away half the dragon teeth, drive over the remaining teeth & trench :P Dragon teeth are somewhat effective when theres 1-10 tanks, not when theres 100's. Also i think its safe to assume that recent tanks (like the ones most NATO members use) have mine detection (at least when driving slowly) so they would just be alerted about them before hitting them.

Facilitating the movement of friendly forces is one of the main tasks of combat engineers. For example the United States has all the tools to make this really easy. I mean as easy as anything can be during war. Relatively straightforward and easy. The mines for example could be cleared with mine-breaching line charges, plowed aside with plows, detonated with rollers and especially in difficult terrain with demolition charges such as Bangalore torpedoes. Plenty of choice. Those combat engineer units would be protected by mobile air-defense, counter-battery radars and systems like M270 MLRS which allow for incredibly accurate and devastating counterbattery fire. I'm not even accounting for things such as close air support and ways to bypass enemy defenses.
