forces during an all out war.
In some of the up coming war games
the US will be involving a cyber component.
The US plans for all contingency's,
One of the most interesting exercises
is the Uran action, Uran being a mythical ME
country.
And the game goes something like this.
A small nuclear devise has been smuggled
into the USA and detonated on the Southern
sea board.
Small yield but very dirty, And the US is able
to finger print the bombs production back
to Uran.
The Pentagon get the order from Obama
to terminate the leadership of Uran as fast
as possible and with extreme prejudice.
NSA is first to strike, with cyber arms,
shutting down the entire country,
knocking Uran off the WWW, disabling
phones, radios and TV and cable.
Urans command and control is now limited
to hand carried notes.
NSA and satellites are tracking Uran's leaders.
In the hour after the Uran nuke goes off in the
US the US Navy launched submarine cruise
missiles at major cities, all with EMP warheads.
No one killed from the EMPs.
The following denotations brings all trucks cars,
planes to a stop and burns out 90% of the computers
and anything with PC chips in it.
NSA re targets Urans weapons thru a cyber virus,
hitting their own defense forces.
Urans Military are grounded, blind, deaf and leaderless.
The US Air force launches air strikes in the following days
A week after the attack USA has CIA delta force teams
ranging through the country backed by A1 M1s, and Black hawks
killing Urans leaders on site and collecting DNA .
20,000 targets in 24 hrs
This time there is to be no nation building, they have taken out
90% of the leadership and just pull out, using drones to hunt
the remaining 10%.
There have been very few civilian deaths from the war,
but many die from lack of services.
A few of the autos from the 1950's still work , and the country
has been removed back to the 1950's technology.
And the banking system has been wiped out, all PC's
toasted, and only a few land lines without chips working.
US Forces estimate Uran will be functioning on a subsistence
level for 5 years, and will take 10 to 15 years to build the country
back to the 2010 levels.
Total Cost about same as one month of Afghan ops.
All nuclear buildings have been destroyed. Above and
underground.
And once Uran is down US turns to healing its wounds.
Drones continue to fly over Uran hunting for leaders for
the next 5 years.
Thats how cyber forces integrate with conventional forces
during war time.
