Agree that LFE's tend to be a shit show, unlike most exercises where there's no iron, so no need to be as concerned with planning or executing since there's no risk. One thing I've seen is that a lot of what AMC does at MG's falls outside the mobility spectrum -- almost as though AMC is trying to show their leaders off for future AOC Directors/JFACC's... Why not focus on the mobility/tanker mission and push the envelope there? Why not push for that in FLAG exercises more? Not sure why AMC needs to plan a PR mission when AMC doesn't even have the assets for the recovery, and certainly not the experience. Sure, it might be good training, but we've got organizations that do that already -- and if you've got the time to train in areas outside your area of expertise, does that mean there's nothing left to improve in your own field? Or are you so overfunded and underutilized that you need to find other things to do to keep yourself busy? Maybe we really didn't need 222 C-17's after all?
