Don’t know … Just F*** the stupid SOB who finds himself on the battlefield opposing either when they are not restricted by an overly complicated ROE/RUF backed by a Commander in Chief who’s willing to open the gates of Hell.
US Airborne providing Death from Above since 1942.
USMC ... Providing the maximum opportunity for terrorists to become martyrs since 1804.
God bless them both for doing what they do and me for being fortunate to have them on my side.

Lol MSG, but really I like to see strategic thought, utilizing assets available to you on both sides, capabilities and limitations, and how you would employ those assets

SSG (Join to see) - okay I did a quick one before coffee. No real variables in place except for Air Force transportation for the Army.

If the MEU had is aviation assets it would win. A MEU is a combined arms unit with armor and aviation, an airborne brigade is not. MEUs are smaller but they pack a bigger punch in fire power. Luckily, that scenario would never play out.
