There was alot that contributed to this. The Pashtun/Tajik lines broke early leaving no rear gaurd. That was unacounted for. That should not, nor need not be a criticism, of any field exercise. And anyone who has spent enough time in the field should know that.

I'm not criticizing this operation in particular. I'm just saying that our army doesn't take mountain warfare as seriously as other armies.

If you'd like me to criticize this operation, I will: The Pashtun/Tajik forces broke early to save their asses when faced with 4 times the amount of enemies that the usual faulty Army Military Intelligence predicted. Other armies take MI a lot more seriously than we do as well....
