What happens when there's a "proper" war?
Have I missed something on reading this? Where this concept may work to really sweat training aircraft etc how on earth could it be used in times of a large scale war? Country A,B and C decide to buy between them three regiments worth of the latest Leopard MBT; with each country's three regiments sharing them for training and exercises etc. suddenly there's a major conflict and so we find the notional nine tank regiments only have three regiments of equipment to go to war with! Or is the cunning plan never to have to fight but just pretend we are able to?
