"I was in the Navy on a cruiser and we played OPFOR in war games off the coast of Santa Barbara. We decorated the ship from bow to fantail with colorful lights and had guys in civvies walk the weather deck to make us look like a cruise ship. We got close enough to "kill" the carrier" "
Marines learn a lot from practice exercises like this. I was in an aviation ...
unit and we did an exercise where we did not use any modern communication devices to launch ,fly, and recover aircraft. The idea was the enemy could be listening to your radio transmissions. Without guidance from above, the E3‘s and E4‘s realized we could use signal flags and flashlights for a lot of communication. To pass messages from unit to unit over long distances, a couple of Marines used their personal dirt bikes. Sometimes simple solutions can beat technology.
