The American military fights many fictional enemies every year that I used in my Pineland’s War on Terror series. The modern history of these fictional scenarios goes back to the 1930s when America was gearing up for World War II. The early enemies tended to be Nazi in style, as befitted the time, but one of the largest fictional engagements would have a massive effect on the war to come. It was a major ground army training exercise they hoped would prove informative for the great land battles to come, and one of the commanders used maneuvers and ideas he read about in a book. His side won, he was recognized for his innovative tactics, and ended up being sent forward as one of America’s leading generals. His name was Eisenhower, and he would later rise to the post of President. This is one example of how American’s training scenarios has influenced the real world in amazing ways.

In the second Pineland exercise, you are a Federal operations team sent to track down and arrest Islamic Brotherhood of Jihad forces planning terror attacks in and out of the training zone. Rules of Engagement are strict, and all expenditures must be tracked and verified to an automatically convened board of inquiry after the operation. Local law enforcement and political systems have been infiltrated by the Atlantican fifth column, and are not to be trusted, though there are some loyal to Pineland. Discovering who is who could be invaluable to your mission, though is not required.

The second training theater in Pineland’s basic War on Terror program is a simulated Pineland operational zone fifty miles across spanning the Pineland and North Atlantica border. The vast majority of the zone will be inside Pineland. This is not a standard Pineland training program featuring a major Atlantican invasion of Pineland. Atlantican army forces are considered static environmental obstacles, though if encountered they are aggressive. The primary environmental obstacles are Atlantican smuggling cartel teams crossing the border, an Atlantican fifth column in control of the operational zone inside Pineland, and Islamic Brotherhood of Jihad forces planning terror attacks in and out of the training zone. This training theater will host multiple simultaneous training missions for maximum realism.
