WASHINGTON, June 22 (UPI)-- The Potomac Institute for Policy Studies'
Center for Emerging Threats and Opportunities will conduct a two-day
strategy-policy war game on Wednesday and Thursday.

The event will be the second in a series of war games called Project
Lincolnia, which explores the tactical, operational, and strategic aspects
of urban warfare. [red]Lincolnia II will examine weapons control issues in an
urban environment,[/red] and will look at how nonlethal weapons and other new
technologies might be used in humanitarian crises. [I](To disarm you)[/I]

Developed by CETO -- a joint effort of the U.S. Marine Corps and PIPS
dedicated to exploring innovative ways to deal with nontraditional threats
to national security -- the Lincolnia series is a response to concerns
raised in a 2000 GAO report that criticized the Department of Defense's
approach to military operations in urban terrain (MOUT).

The report found that DOD efforts are too focused on the tactical level,
and have ignored strategic and operational concerns. The report also found
shortfalls in intelligence collection and efforts in joint experimentation.

The Lincolnia series is unique because the strategy and policy
alternatives developed in next week's game will form the basis for
subsequent games at the operational and tactical levels.

The war game's scenario is set in the mythical nation of Nicolesia. The
situation in the capital city of Lincolnia continues to deteriorate as three
factions vie for control, while a U.S.-led UN multinational force attempts
to preserve the factions' fragile cease-fire negotiated during Lincolnia I.

As the cease-fire is implemented, it becomes evident that a weapons
control process is needed to reduce civilian casualties, restore the
cease-fire, and provide security for the humanitarian relief effort.

The strategy-policy game will include political, military, economic,
cultural and intelligence role players. A simulated interagency and
coalition group will formulate policies, which will be presented to the
cultural-role players for negotiation.

Next week's game will be followed by an operational game and a tactical
experiment involving Marines at Quantico, Va. Lincolnia II will conclude in
the fall with an assessment conference that examines the recommendations and
lessons learned.

Yet another moronic attempt to get people to read a post they would otherwise skip.

Someone please show me anywhere here that it says weapons removal....or weapons confiscation. I think everyone needs to stop looking for the boogie man under the bed.

Yeah. They are going to come out and say
"We are examining ways to take your guns"
Apparently, they are smarter than you.

We all know what happens

Are you really so dim as to think that just because they didn't directly use the word "confiscation", that isn't what they are preparing for??

Here is an example. I'll go reeeeeeeeeeeel slow so you can keep pace.
