What is Landing Force Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (LF CARAT) 2012 ?
By the very nature of these exercises, the Marine Corps will be coming into contact with Army Special Forces teams more and more.
And I find that interesting.
Outside of Army SF, the rest of SOCOM is basically dedicated to direct action missions and direct action missions only. The Rangers can easily revert back to a swing role of being the nations Rapid Response Force (they'll get competition from Marine Expeditionary Units and the 82nd's Division Ready Brigades) and generally example to the Big Army but MARSOC, AFSOC, and NAVSPECWAR are all going to be looking for work. The Pacific as big as it is might become a crowded place real soon.
So called artists are just sick bastards with title.
This is just sick. You can dress it up and call it art but its just sick. Nicholas Fiorenza of Aviation Week pointed to the article.
Read about the craziness here.

General Tolley sacked.
Thanks Tom for sending me this story.
via the New York Times.
SEOUL, South Korea — The Pentagon has replaced the commander of United States Special Forces in South Korea after a media report quoted him as saying that American and South Korean troops have been parachuting into North Korea on spy missions, a statement denied by Washington and the government in Seoul.He's lucky if all that happens is that he's sacked, and the cover story that its all part of the normal rotation of jobs is nonsense. Let me put it another way. I bet he didn't have PCS orders before the conference in which he made the gaff...and they were suddenly on his desk afterwards.
Good riddance.
May the General's travels be filled with stormy seas and gail force winds.
