TheAltWorld US Op in Iran Involving C-130s, MH-6, and A-10s Was Likely Offensive Turned Disaster By F-15/A-10 Losses
Back in 2023 Wyoming media reported on special operations training along a highway involving exactly the sort of operation reported on deep inside Iran – involving landing C-130s, disembarking MH-6 helicopters to “project power” deep inside enemy territory.
Read the whole article here:
It is possible such an operation could be launched in support of search and rescue – but the fact it was primarily developed to project power as part of the wider “agile combat employment” (ACE) opens the possibility that this was a special forces operation that either went bad or was compromised by the loss of aircraft providing air support, and ended up as a costly search and rescue operation before ending.
In the article Lt. Col. Dave Meyer was quoted as saying:
“An adversary that may be able to deny use of a military base or an airfield, is going to have a nearly impossible time trying to defend every single linear mile of roads. It’s just too much territory for them to cover and that gives us access in places and areas that they can’t possibly defend.”
The article also claimed:
“Exercise Agile Chariot tested the concept of Agile Combat Employment (ACE)—an operational scheme of maneuver executed within threat timelines to enhance survivability while generating combat power—through two demonstrations, as well as Forward Arming and Refueling Point (FARP), Integrated Combat Turnarounds and the infiltration and exfiltration of Air Force Special Operations (AFSOC) personnel with US Army Special Ops Aviation Command (USASOAC).”
Some of the participating units do specialize in search and rescue like the 123rd special tactics squadron but not exclusively and do carry out other roles in offensive operations.
It is likely no coincidence the US military was practicing in terrain similar to Iran’s for operations they knew they’d carry out in Iran as far back as 2023 – as I have repeatedly explained – this war is not about “Israel tricking the US into war,” but the US waging a war it had prepared for for decades regardless of who is president and what rhetoric he told before elections…
