What Do We Know About the Us Navy's New Submarine? – Columbia Class – Learning Military

The F-35 program has received a lot of flak these last few months regarding the issues that it has been having. With issues related to the logistics system (ALIS) to data security, to weapon alignment issues and so many others, people are wondering whether or not that this is waste of money. With an estimated $1 Trillion price tag expected over the life of the program, people have a reason to ask these questions and to be concerned about where their tax money is going.

In this episode of learning military, we are going to look at some of the most critical issues for the F-35 over all the variants and also what the US military is doing to be able to resolve these issues. The air force, navy and marine corps are each relying on this project to be successful so a lot is on the line for lockheed martin and the armed forces.

In this episode of learning military, we are going to review the National Defense Strategy. Last released in 2018, this government document released by the Department of Defense under then US Defense Secretary Mattis, showcases American's way of war and what the armed forces will be focused on as we change to focus on great power competition. The Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force will each be influenced by this document and it is important to our national defense that this is understood by all. If you wish to read a summary of the document, here is where you can find it.

The National Defense Strategy of the United States | Learning Military

In this episode of learning military, we'll take a look at a United States war with Iran to the next level by looking at the challenges the united states military, particularly the United States army would face in megacity warfare during an invasion of Iran by focusing on a battle of Tehran. With urban warfare tactics lacking and urban operations army training needing to improve, city combat in megacities would be a significant challenge in a war with iran and usa. Should the iran conflict escalate to an iran invasion, the iran vs usa conflict would include some of the heaviest city combat we have likely seen to date. But check out this video for more detail on the challenges of megacity warfare.

Taking Tehran | The Challenges of Megacity Warfare

Last week, President Donald Trump launched the U.S. Space Command or SPACECOM as a combatant command. However, others are calling on congress to create a branch of the armed forces called the Space Force or the Space Corps. In this episode of learning military, we'll look at what a USSF would do for the United States military. While we are not sure of a start date, we can see why it is needed to confront China, Russia and other countries who are putting anti-satellite strategy at the forefront of their national defense. The Department of Defense though has a challenge ahead of them when it comes to the transfer of personnel, budget and other aspects of creating the organization. We'll also look how the DoD could organize the space force within the Air Force or outside of the USAF as a department of the military. However, the low cost could make the overall cost to the USA well worth it as a unified doctrine, strategy, recruitment and training will improve how space is leveraged for all. You'll see more in the news pretty soon about a militarized space and what the US can do to improve its position

Understanding Space Warfare: Different Types of Weapons Explored

Part 2 of our the Learning Military's analysis of How War with the U.S. and Iran will play out is now out. In this in-depth analysis, I was able to gather information from over 25 sources including government publications, wargame after-action reports, academic research and other credible sources to piece this scenario together for you. In the last episode, we looked at how things could escalate, the closing of the Strait of Hormuz and the air campaign. In this episode, we'll look at the troops needed, where to base them, the invasion of Iran, ground campaign and occupation of Iran. Thanks for watching and enjoy this episode!

Wargames and plans obviously exist for how to invade Iran but that information is understandably classified. After all, we don’t want to telegraph what we will do and when but there is still a lot of relevant information that is available. For example, we know what challenges an invasion force will have to face and what it will take to be successful. So if you’ve made it this far, please stay with me.

While we have focused up to this point on the air force and the navy, that's not to say that the army has been out of the picture. In this scenario, the army has been sending some soldiers to the area, likely to Saudi Arabia with patriot missile batteries, HIMARS and attack helicopters. Obviously, a much larger ground force would be needed.

One issue I think the military would press for is having the right sized force. One article I found argued that the 250,000 forces the Pentagon got in 2003 to Invade Iraq was not enough. That 500,000 was really needed especially for the occupation. So when you consider that Iran has twice the population and is about the size of the entirety of Western Europe, we’re going to need a lot more forces than the 120,000 that has been floated around or even the 250,000 that was used in Iraq. The number of forces needed was laid out in an article on ThinkProgress.org where Gil Barndollar Director of Middle East Studies at the Center for the National Interest and who served as US Marine Corp Infantry Officer wrote on the topic.

He argues that the 600,000 service members that comprise the active duty forces of the US Army and Marine Corps are not enough to invade iran. Even with the mobilization of the entire National Guard and reserves, he still would not be comfortable invading Iran. He argued that to have the appropriately sized force, we would need a draft.
