	Commando Sling
		In the case of COMMANDO SLING 98-4, the potential for expanding the exercise was first identified during a meeting in December 1997 in Singapore.

		Exercise COMMANDO SLING is an air exercise which began with an agreement between the United States and Singapore in 1990.

		The exercise was graded and supervised by an umpire assigned by the 15th Military Police Brigade, with an overall rating of Combat Ready.
		The exercise was good training for the military police as it gave first hand experience with actual convoy movement and traffic control on German autobahns as well as area security under war-like conditions.
		Whether training for war, participating in training exercises throughout Europe, or deploying to foreign countries in support of U.S., NATO, or UN Military operations, the 709th Military Police Battalion continues to take pride in that they do.

		Predictably, the American Civil Liberties Union has rushed to decry this logical exercise of war powers as "deeply disturbing," and in contravention of ideas "central to our democracy." In fact, the president's order is well-grounded in constitutional text, statute and past practice, and is more likely to preserve civil liberty than undermine it.
		The use of military tribunals was commonplace in World War II and those appearing before them were both exonerated and executed.
		While the rules and regulations are yet to come, we can get some inkling of their content by examining those promulgated by military commanders, such as Dwight Eisenhower in the European theater of World War II and Douglas MacArthur in the Pacific.

	The Boy Scout Law According to Mike Walton -- Trustworthy
		Because the REFORGER exercise happens all over Germany and central western Europe, there are many occasions whereby the military must pay for meals, for damages and lodging.
		Like the acynomn, the exercise involves returning large number of military personnel back to Germany, getting them the equipment and supplies they need to do their jobs, and getting them to the "war area".

		The International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg expressly held that the 1907 Hague Convention IV was declaratory of customary international law.

	Military Capabilities: Stronger Joint Staff Role Needed to Enhance Joint Military Training (Chapter Report, 07/06/95, GAO/NSIAD-95-109).
		Of 121 exercises conducted by the commanders of the Central, European, and Pacific theaters in fiscal year 1994, GAO found that 73 percent of the exercises were designed to meet objectives such as a show of U.S. military presence in a region.
		Some exercises are conducted primarily to train U.S. forces for joint operations, while others are done for different reasons, such as to gain U.S. access to a region or foster relationships between U.S. military forces and those of other nations.
		We examined the exercises conducted in fiscal year 1994 and those planned for fiscal year 1995 to determine whether the three commands included tasks in their exercise plans to deploy forces as a joint task force or train commanders and staffs in joint operations.

		The whole idea of such an exercise was fabricated to explain otherwise mind-boggling communications traffic among intelligence and military and civilian agencies of the US government----traffic that would have exposed the complete and casual disregard for the very real events that were underway in the air.
		In retrospect, the exercise would prove to be a serendipitous enabler of a rapid military response to terrorist attacks on Sept. 11.
		The exercise was conducted at one regional sector, and was not conducted at the headquarters, as are major exercises.

		The most elaborate war game the U.S. military has ever held was rigged so that it appeared to validate the modern, joint-service war-fighting concepts it was supposed to be testing, according to the retired Marine lieutenant general who commanded the game’s Opposing Force.
		Exercise officials denied him the opportunity to use his own tactics and ideas against Blue, and on several occasions directed the Opposing Force not to use certain weapons systems against Blue.
		Following that exercise, “my name was included in post-experiment materials stating that the concept of rapid decisive operations had been validated — a mistruth at best,” he wrote.

	West Virginia Veterans Memorial - Remembering Exercise Tiger
		The military leaders held the exercises on Slapton Sands in England, which the Allies evacuated in the early part of 1944, for its resemblance to Omaha Beach.
		Exercise Tiger also began to become known to the public when those who lived on Slapton Sands began to comb the beach and found remnants of American Uniforms.
		In order to insure that the exercises were as accurate as possible, the troops and equipment departed on the same ships and, for the most part, from the same ports that they would later leave from on June 6.

		The judgment that will have to be exercised if and when East and West stand on the brink of armed confrontation is purely political in nature; the military consequences that will ride on the decisions made are critical in the extreme.
		The annual Reforger operation sounds a clear warning to the East that nations of the West will not tolerate aggression; that NATO’S military capabilities are as strong in time of detente as in time of crisis.
		Reforger is, in the final analysis, one of the cornerstones of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s philosophy of flexible deterrence.

		Atlantic Resolve '94, the exercise that some military officials dubbed "the new REFORGER" -- because it supplanted what would have been the 25th Return of Forces to Europe exercise -- employed soldiers from the Birmingham, Ala.- based 87th Army Reserve Command as the simulated ground opposition force.
		Keith King, a civil-military affairs officer with the 21st Theater Army Area Command's CONUS augmentation unit that exercised its theater logistics support to the simulated deployed forces, dealt with a potentially devastating situation.
		Countless scenarios fed into the exercise that was generated by a main gaming computer at the Warrior Preparation Center; it was tied into computers at U.S. Space Command in Colorado Springs, Colo., and scores of computer work stations and simulators in the United States and overseas.

		At the closing session of RECAMP 4, Brigadier-General Elhadji Kandji, Deputy Military Advisor at the UNDPKO, said African peacekeeping operations were crucial in complementing the UN's role, particularly when the UN was not in the position to deploy rapidly enough as was in the case of Liberia and Cote d'Ivoire.
