If you want to attack a certain country, what would be your strategy for efficient and effective military campaign???

For me it's communications.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Communications.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

I realize that there’s a duplicate?

thehappybunny SG

take out their military first, then communications and power plants.

by then, they are most defenceless

maurizio13 SG

The Israeli’s choice would be communications, heard it on tv interview with an ex-Israeli general. It’s because if you can’t coordinate your army, you cannot efficiently defend and attack.

maurizio13 SG

I know, think abit sensitive because it mentioned Singapore, later might give other's ideas.

Deino SG

It all comes down to the layout of their map

maurizio13 SG

Wah piang eh!!!

Military so big how to take out all.

If you managed to take out the whole military, then don't need fight war liao.

The US took out Iraq's communications first before they launch an offensive.

maurizio13 SG

I don't think so, I think in modern warfare, communication is the most important target.

If you can't coordinate your defence, it's difficult to effectively repel and attack.

If enemy has tanks advancing on a front and you only have troopers there, you need to call for air and artillery support. Else will kenna over-run by enemy.

Like what that Israeli general said, take out the communications and leave them blind.

What about their nuclear facilities? That’s what the US might do, should they invade Iran if it doesn’t stop its controversial nuke programme. However, I don’t think they will do so as they are already having an overstretched armed forces, with troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Hawaii and goodness knows where else!

thehappybunny SG

alright then...severely cripple their more integral military installations first.

just like what Israel did in the 6 Day War(?)

took out the Egyptian airforce even before they had a chance to attack

zenden9 SG

Air forces... Fighter jet and airfield!!

if it is sg, i stick to my previous answer because my plan was to make pple gabra first. Then take out communications after that.

However, if it is other countries, for example blueland, communications would be good. And if heck care about citizens, power plants and lines would be the next in line to cause more disruption.

Meia Gisborn SG

Hawker centers.

If their target is only ONE the nuclear facilities, then maybe lor.

If their target is multiple nuclear facilities, it would be wise to knock out their communications first. Else, if any breach on the nuclear facilities is compromised, the compromised breached facility will report to the top and numerous nuclear missiles will be launch from other sites.

If you take out communications first, the top won't know of the nuclear facility which has been attacked.

Deino SG

Unfortunately some people are born blind........its yes it is important......imagine if you're facing an enemy whose army is massively and strategically place all around the globe........it would be an impossible mission even if you could destroy communications.........i bet that armies have their own codes on when to act if no commands are passed.......

Geography would also be of utmost important

maurizio13 SG

If the air force, fighten jet and airfield is destroyed, the enemy might not have air superiority as yet. As there are surface to air missiles to take out the enemy fighter jets.

Trump_Card SG

Infiltrate the defence … then attack the communications

maurizio13 SG

Unless you are referring to the USA. I am not aware if other countries has military bases all over the world. Military base used here would imply foot soldiers, because you need an army to occupy lands. You can't simply send bombers to bomb without objective.

Iraq and Afghanistan certainly didn't, but they have taken the fighting underground by using guerilla warfare.

eagle SG

start with cutting off supplies mah…
