RingSight91's video: War Games on TBS 2001

Yet more stuff that I recorded when I was in the service. Yes I know the aerial footage from the Red Flag segment are all stock footage. Nobody can really film in the skies over the Nevada Ranges, so don't bother complaining about it. Program Description: --------------------- WAR GAMES presents four different combat scenarios, with commentators reporting from each competition and presenting personal stories from the participating military troops. The following are descriptions of the four games included in TBS Superstation's WAR GAMES: JRTC (Joint Readiness Training Center) -- Increasingly, military operations are conducted in cities and towns. Recognizing this, the United States Army built an entire mock town to train troops in urbanized warfare. In this realistic 11-day war game, U.S. forces must rescue a town and its residents from hostile forces, as soldiers are exposed to the hazards of urbanized warfare, including civilians and media on the field of battle. WOLF HUNT -- Enemy submarines claimed 80 percent of the ships sunk in World War II--and the threat of subs is just as potent today. The United States Navy conducts critical anti-submarine warfare exercises off the coast of San Diego in this exercise, in which two helicopters and two fixed-wing aircraft must locate and sink an enemy submarine before the submarine sinks our battleship battleship, large, armored warship equipped with the heaviest naval guns. The evolution of the battleship, from the ironclad warship of the mid-19th cent., received great impetus from the Civil War. RED FLAG -- After Vietnam, the United States Air Force created Red Flag, an air-to-air and air-to-ground military exercise designed to better train pilots for the high-stress, high-action situations they often confront in combat. In this scenario, pilots engage in a dogfight over the Nevada desert before diving into "enemy" territory in an attempt to bomb an airfield. CAX (COMBINED ARMED EXERCISES) -- CAX features the United States Marine Corps in a three-day, locked and loaded, live-fire deployment involving thousands of Marines. In this exercise, Marines must first assault and occupy enemy territory, then defend it against a counter-assault in the California desert. WAR GAMES was produced for TBS Superstation by Grindstone Productions and Avenue Pictures Television, with J.J. Jamieson and John Barchilon serving as executive producers. Mike Sears directed the special, with David Hudson producing.
