Operation Bodyguard employed a variety of tactics to deceive the German High Command about the timing and location of the Allied invasion of northwest Europe in 1944. This included creating a fictional army, known as the First United States Army Group (FUSAG), led by General George Patton, and suggesting that the invasion would target the Pas-de-Calais region rather than Normandy. Operation Bodyguard utilized double agents, fake radio traffic, and visual deception, including dummy tanks (inflatable and wooden) and mock military hardware.   To support this deception, Operation Fortitude was devised, which involved fake radio traffic, leaked information through double agents, and the creation of a false invasion plan against both Norway and Pas-de-Calais. The goal was to make the German forces believe that the Allied forces were larger and would strike at multiple points simultaneously.   Allied intelligence was very good. Acoustic signals (higher frequency ultrasounds) from decrypted German radio transmissions, confirmed to planners that the German High Command believed in the Bodyguard deceptions and provided the Allies with the enemy's order of battle. This year, Operation Bodyguard was one of the topics that students could choose to write about in the 2024 ABMF Past is Prologue Essay Contest. #DDay #WeRemember #NormandyInvasion #OperationBodyguard #MilitaryHistory

This editorial asks the question: why are we there? But then it calls for military escalation. Which is the right policy? Increase US military activity in the Gulf (which means escalating a war with Iran), or let them sort it out themselves over there and focus on being energy-independent in the US. The current policy is expensive, both in $$ and in the lives of US soldiers. Thoughts?

🇪🇺 The European project, founded on the pillars of peace, prosperity, stability, and security, has journeyed from the ECSC, through the EEC, to the formation of the EU. As we stand at the threshold of enlargement and face new geopolitical realities, it's time for another transformation into what can be termed as Europe 4 - a united federal Europe. The ongoing war in Ukraine and the pressing need to diminish our security dependency on the US underscore the imperative for a robust European Army. This endeavor transcends the mere accumulation of military might; it's about reinforcing our resilience and strategic autonomy, crucial for safeguarding the EU's core values. Our goal is crystal clear: to amplify Europe's stature as a formidable great power and assert a decisive role on the global stage. This will not only enhance our ability to confront challenges within our vicinity but also beyond, ensuring that the EU remains the steadfast shield of Europe in every essence. #Europe4 #EuropeanArmy #StrategicAutonomy https://buff.ly/3P1YH33

This man(deputy head of Ukraine military intelligence) is Spot-On. A well-prepared, well-camouflaged, well-executed attack could run over the three "little" baltic states in a few days. NATO is still kind-of-braindead, as MACRON correctly analyzed. Still thinking of the "highly trained, professional army", which was relevant against the sandal soldiers of Asia. Each and every Baltic Man must have an assault rifle (from G3 to M16) at home, plus 100 shots ammo. Each village must have at least three MILAN missiles and a launcher. That is the only way to resist 200 000 Russians simply cutting through the border fence and walking west. Armed with AK47s, RPG7s, KORNETs and other infantery weapons.
