so much trouble, all you need to do is gas the whole building.

Meanwhile, all this is being coordinated from a 250 ton blast-rated Underground Ammo Facility that is being used as a command facility that is expected to wistand a 30 MEGATON nuclear attack. The commander in this facility will be well trained in looking through the internet and google for stuff on ST weapons, spend some time find ways to say why it is better then other country's systems, as well as copy and pasting many articles on the military written by non-military personnel which they will send to their soldiers to tell them how to fight.

In the event the battle is not going well, this commander will then thrawl the net for every negative article on their enemy's military and then send it over the command net to convince friendly troops that despite apperances, the enemy is full of "systemic" failures and really can't fight. If the battle is really bad, then this commander will suddenly abandon the battle and pick another one to face similar results, or dissappear (if the trashing is really bad) for a while to think up of "new" and "innovative" ways to fight wars that usually involve crashing expensive stuff to kill non expensive stuff, shooting aircraft off ships too small to support them, and finding ways to use things like inline skates, party hats, and water pistols and associated stuff to fight a real shooting war.

Hmm...

lols. nice one.. the lionnoisy approach...

lets say the building is held by hostiles, (ie the enemy) would it be better to send in large forces? or small "sticks" of troops?

how many soldiers would it take to effectively defend a building?

Just send in a Battalion of PES E in their number 3 uniform and tell them to go door to door armed with a letter that says,

By order of Ministry of Defence, you are to vacate the premises by D-day H-hour in the interest of national security. Failing which you maybe be subjected to Cap 123 of the XYZ Act which brings the maximum penalty of no less than $1000 fine and/or jail term of 5 years or both.

It should work.

Why think until so bloody difficult. Evacuate all the civilians. Shut off electric,water and gas supplies.

Broadcast demand for surrender.

Let Ns man practice tossing smoke grenades into low level windows. Let troops practise shooting WP grenades into open windows.

Rig the whole block structure with demolition charges

Lay triple conc(lobo) with AP booby traps and AP mines(engineer)

Broadcast countdown from 10 mins.

Assure residents that compensation will come in some form in the future.

With what purpose and objective in mind? In a peacetime scenario, cops will prob sent in the STAR. Cops dun shoot to kill unless necessary like in life threatening scenario, so there will probably be subjects arrested and brought away. If the aim is to be simply take down the building, with or without prisoners not an issue, the other parties being dead or alive, not an issue, bombard it...

haha... just my humble opinions. Not from army during ns. trained with SOC troops though. Thats all. first time posting in military nuts.

wtf, hellfires on every level.

think 1 hellfire can take out 10 floors. a second one at a strategic point will bring down the building.

erm, surround the ground floor, then send troops up to capture unit by unit floor by floor?

Or sendin crysis forces with cloaking suits?

Or send in Solid Snake. He should be able to clear the whole building with a traquilizar gun. He too have a cloaking suit.

First, you must cordon the block with Leopard MBTs from 48 SAR and the whole of 7SIB. Meanwhile, Primus from 21 SA zero in on the building while Chinooks deploy Pegasus howitzers for added punch. Must use Chinook, coz heli-deployment very stylo. LRRP from 1st Commando will insert 3 days prior to the operation to recce the place and mark targets with lasers. Apaches launch hellfires onto every level while F-16s and F-15s drop JDAMS. SOF will conduct free-fall from Super Pumas and land on the roof and blaze down ten stories while Guardsmen rappel head-first down from more helis and crash through glass windows. Night-vision gear and infrared opticals are mandatory regardless of time of day. Meanwhile, CDF, COA and Defence Minister have a grandstand view of the whole excercise.

The Singapore Armed Forces. Breaking new ground.
