EXERCISE AARCADE FUSION

A final word on the Allied Rapid Response Corps is that it isn't. All the "Allies" have different weapons, transport, armour and provisions. The rifles and artillery are of a different calibre and all services have differing SOPs so interoperability is hampered.
After stating this in the "Wine Bar" and only as the opinion of volunteer reserve officers (We had convinced the Europeans that L**'s Masters badge was General in the Air Force) We were given time off for good behaviour and were asked to leave before the final wash up.
We haven't been asked back.
