I was just curious if anyone had any stories of realistic training they had been involved in. I do not mean live fire exercises etc, but rather exercises where the "fog of war" or some kind of monkey wrench was intentionally added (or untinentionally for that matter) and it resulted in added training value. For example while I was with 2RCHA on Ex Frozen Gun in '96 or '97, 4 of 5 P.O.L. trucks either went N/S or got seriously stuck within about 10 minutes. I happened to be in c/s 8 when it happened and for a couple of minutes thought it was a monkey wrench the CO had tossed in the works just to see what solutions would be forthcoming (it was actually fate and the CO was p***ed). It made me realize that most exercises I had been on were so scripted that no one was likely to learn anything they did not already know.
