Battlefield Contractor

The change in the Orumi Federation has not yet been finalized. But the contract for the flintlock exercise was obtained first.

Lin Rui decided to take down the flintlock exercise first.

Wars have been constantly being staged from ancient times to the present. Although the whole world is in a state of peace now, all countries are constantly improving their fighting strength in the era of peace.

The money required for a large-scale military exercise is naturally also expensive.

Generally speaking, military exercises have different levels, and general military exercises may only require the use of one company or one battalion.

And some military exercises may require the mobilization of major forces such as the army, air force, and navy.

Some military exercises even have to be carried out with other countries, which will cost more manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

Military exercises are indeed not generally costly.

As soon as the troops are dispatched, there will be high fuel and wear costs. As soon as the cannon is fired, the gold is ten thousand taels!

Generally, a main battle tank costs thousands of dollars per hour.

As long as a mechanized division's thousands of vehicles of various types ignite collectively, it is burning money at the rate of millions of dollars per hour.

Needless to say, the Air Force costs 50,000 to 60,000 U.S. dollars for a fighter sortie. It is not uncommon for a heavy bomber to refuel for 100,000 U.S. dollars.

The navy is the same. The aircraft carrier is only on the sea, and not counting other ships alone, it costs millions of dollars a day!

Note that this is just a dispatch. If it is a live ammunition exercise, the money spent will be even higher.

Isn't it fun to see the scene where all guns are fired? Every shot is the money for a car.

The posture of long-range air defense missiles flying out of the ground is very photogenic, maybe several million dollars just fly like this.

And a torpedo for a submarine is even more expensive. If you were serious about a large-scale military exercise with a satellite, that one would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars!

Moreover, accidents are always inevitable if you move with real swords and guns. If a plane falls, tens of millions of dollars will be gone; if a nuclear submarine is sunk, hundreds of millions of dollars will be gone.

So every time a military exercise, any commander is worried.

The United States spends more than 700 billion U.S. dollars on its military annually, almost 200 billion U.S. dollars spent on training and military exercises.

But no matter how expensive a military exercise is, it is much cheaper than a real war.

If you don't want to fight, just having a strong military is not enough. You must also let the imaginary enemy know that you have this power and dare to use it.

Especially when the enemy, from the government to the people, forgets about it, reminders are necessary.

Therefore, it is a highly sexual choice to demonstrate strength through military exercises, to conduct deterrence, and to stop the war through exercises.

So many private military companies want to contract military exercises because it is indeed a piece of fat.

Especially in the US military that relies heavily on service outsourcing.

In addition to security and logistics, sometimes they even outsource even the imaginary enemy of the exercise.

Undoubtedly, as the understanding of training methods under informatization conditions continues to deepen, imaginary enemy training will be one of the main methods of actual combat exercises by major military powers.

"Knowing yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end." Whether you can fully understand your opponent to a certain extent will determine the tilt of the initiative on the battlefield.

The U.S.'s heavy investment in outsourcing imaginary enemy training not only takes into account actual economic issues, but also reduces the pressure on military units.

On the one hand, it is to experience the combat effectiveness of the "blue army", and on the other hand, it can greatly improve the development level of the "red army" and achieve a win-win situation for both red and blue.

For the US military, huge financial expenditure. The increasingly severe budget situation has forced the US military to choose to cancel some of the imaginary enemy troops.

However, the actual demand for troops to conduct imaginary enemy confrontation training has not diminished.

In order to meet the training needs, in addition to the use of virtual training methods, the US military began to introduce imaginary enemy contractors to participate in the US military's "sparring" missions in the 1990s.

This means that these military contractors must not only provide security and logistics, but also act as training partners during exercises.

Of course, the more tasks, the higher the reward.

That's why Lin Rui wanted to accept this contract with all his heart.

Now that everything is finalized, Lin Rui must take people to the base of the US military, and they must enter the role from now on.

As a private contracting company, they will provide training services for the U.S. military,

These contractors will provide the US military with fire assault training, close support training, and counter-terrorism training.

As well as the training of logistics personnel and ground mission system operators who are proficient in dealing with potential enemy threats and emergency operations.

Therefore, Lin Rui and others had to communicate with the U.S. military and work out various details before the acting began.

And it's not just the United States. In fact, there are more than 30 countries in this exercise.

They also have to take into account the needs of the exercise and how these soldiers from different countries can collaborate.

The U.S. military has just come up with an exercise plan, and there is a lot of actual work that needs to be done by them.

These tasks are actually time-consuming and labor-intensive, but what Lin Rui and the others are eating is just that.

Moreover, they have previous contracting experience in counter-terrorism operations, and they know exactly how to deal with this kind of thing.

Trident soon officially took part in this exercise under the name of a military research institution.

Today's Trident Company has operations on five continents in the world. The head office employs more than 23,000 people, and its business is more complex, covering everything from maintenance and logistics to performing rescue tasks.

The reason why the US military hires these private military companies is simple.

Because the Defense Science Committee believes that such outsourcing services can save 6 billion US dollars a year.

Of course, the requirements are also very strict. If an extremely important data processing system provided by the outsourcing service provider for maintenance and management fails, the entire military exercise plan may be cancelled.

"Since 1994, only 12 military outsourcing service providers have signed such outsourcing contracts with the Pentagon, and the total contract value has reached 300 billion U.S. dollars.

Taking this task basically means that you are now officially returning to the U.S. military’s core outsourcing service provider camp. "A man greeted Lin Rui with a smile.

Lin Rui looked over but found that it was Linda. This time, she changed her outfit.

The original professional attire of office women was replaced by a sand-colored camouflage uniform.

"I almost didn't recognize it. Ms. Linda." Lin Rui nodded to her. "How will you be here?"

"Working relationship, and also by the way to see how you are doing." Linda replied.

"Unfortunately, I don't believe a word. You are not the kind of character who cares about others." Lin Rui sneered.

"Well, you guessed it, I actually have other things to ask you. About something other than the flintlock drill." Linda looked at him, "Can you talk about it alone?"
