PLA has platoon-sized forces in several islands in the disputed Spratlys and Paracels. I understand there are power generators on the islands, but food and even fuel for the generators have to be shipped in. The entire operation is more symbolic than functional, only to show their presence and ownership of the island - there's very little what a platoon of soldiers with limited assets (a few guns and boats) can do in the middle of nowhere. &nbsp;</p> Mon, 05 May 2008 04:38:34 +0800 www.sgforums.com:1164:316242:8062189 OldBird69 http://www.sgforums.com/forums/1164/topics/316242 <p>Send one SSK to patrol the area.&nbsp;Pack whatever available space on the rock with SSMs. Then bury&nbsp;a huge&nbsp;amount of explosives underneath everything and place the detonator on a dead man's switch.</p> <p>Scorched Earth.</p> Sun, 04 May 2008 02:50:42 +0800 www.sgforums.com:1164:316242:8059634 Obersturmfuhrer http://www.sgforums.com/forums/1164/topics/316242 <blockquote> <div class="quote_from">Originally posted by Fatum:</div> <div class="quote_body"> <p>full pack = field pack with all your SOP barang barang inside ...</p> <p>that's what you need to have ready all the time ...&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div> </blockquote> <p>but once you go out and come back, its no longer full. but they still call it full pack.</p> Sat, 03 May 2008 21:06:55 +0800 www.sgforums.com:1164:316242:8058481 alwaysdisturbed http://www.sgforums.com/forums/1164/topics/316242 <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">You know if we get that piece of rock, all the sea within 3 nautical miles around that piece of rock is ours.
