Midterm Election: a Military [contingency] Planned Op

Frame #1: You have two fire bases -- and you are dominant.

#1 (Senate Committees) -- atop a steep hill -- in a strong and defensible position, but underutilized.

#2 (House Committees) -- down in the valley -- damaging the enemy via sorties -- led by outstanding officers -- but its position is vulnerable.

Frame #2: Enemy forces are building strength. Plan Ahead for Enemy Action

#1 (Senate Committees) -- Build up defenses, upgrade armament, and plan to add reinforcing troops.

#2 (House Committees) -- Pull the patrols back inside the perimeter, and plan to abandon position & retreat to #1 if overrun is likely..

Make #2 a tempting "Lure" to focus enemy attention on #2 -- and away from #1).... (Q#2446: "How do you catch a FISH?")

Frame #3 (Election): Enemy forces overrun Base #2

#1 (Senate Committees) -- Pull all personnel back to the secure #1 position -- and add strength. (Q#2493: "53-47")

(Q #2446: "The Senate was the target. Corker + Flake removed. Mission forward.")

#2 (House Committees) -- Abandon position & Retreat to #1 when overrun is imminent.. (Let the enemy take the "bait"...) (Q #2446: "These people are stupid."

Frame #4 (Post-election): Enemy forces have overrun Base #2. You have made base #1 (Senate) impregnable!

#1 (Senate Committees) -- Use superior position and strength (majority) to continue attack -- more powerfully. Promote one #2 base Colonel to (Attorney) General. Use [DECLAS] & Indictments as "plunging fire" to destroy the enemy.

#2 (House Committees) -- (The enemy took the"bait"...) Abandoned position turned into a "killing field"...

Q#2445: "Military planning at its finest."
