The most forced army in the world...

[madandlucky]

the armies in the world!!! Which one is the most forced?
But when you think about it, dont forget ability, technolgy, human rights and experiment of the countries!!...

 

[adsH]

you mean the most professional Army in the world, based on the following criteria
"ability, technology, human rights" i would vote the UK

 

[P.A.F]

i would vote UK to beacause they have got excellent ability, the technology is high tech, and human rights r good as well

Someone better narrow this down quickly or it will turn into another pecker fight:

If you want to define a military, then you need to consider that the criteria are, intercontinental projection, continental projection, sealift, airlift, training, persistence, projection, absolute power, logistics, precision and capacity to conduct concurrrent intercontinental warfare. (ie tempo issues), political will and intent, capacity to surge, capacity to surge local industry, energy autonomy, closure times to strike any given point of the globe in under 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month. Then that has to factor in nuke and conventional responses.

That narrows it down to one nation.

If you don't want to include the US in the outcome and are just looking at a sheltered outcome, then change the criteria. BUT the above are the realistic measurement issues.

If we are going on a chest beating exercise, then change the criteria to pick your country of choice.

 

[P.A.F]

well if i follow your criteria gf0012 then i will still pick UK

 

[gf0012-aust]

well if i follow your criteria gf0012 then i will still pick UK

Please tell me how the UK meets the criteria for each of those measurements?

Not emotional responses, just tactical and strategic responses.

It cannot, even under surge conditions of less than 3 months is it even remotely able to shift 100,000 troops at an intercontinental transoceanic level.

The UK is definitely second - it is geared for expeditionary warfare. No other nation even comes close to the UK. The UK does not come remotely close to the US.

The UK (and Turkey for that matter - as I noticed that they have scored as well) are Regional powers. The UK has the advantage that its a nuclear power. Turkey is incapable of projecting force at a transoceanic intercontinental level. It's force structure is just not geared to it.

The UK has a blue water navy that is expeditionary in construction - it is designed to project power - but it's capacity to project that power anywhere on the globe within a month is severely tested and not sustainable.

If people are serious I will throw the numbers up as to why the US is in an unimpeachable position. If this is just an exercise in feeling good about your own or other nations and exercising a process of anti-US discussion, then it's obviously pointless in trying to have a serious discussion.

A first year entrant into any military college can show you why it is so. It's not really rocket science.

Simple the US armed forces meet almost cent% of the criteria set by gf.
Hence US wins. End Of Topic. Already discussed to death in previous threads, potential mine is bigger than your's problem.
Therefore locked till further notice.
