    Hi thread. My unit is going to be involved in training about 3 dozen Ukranian NCO´s/Officers

    Long story short im friends with the base pcychologist and she has been given the task of giving them psychological training and honestly she doesnt know what to teach:

    to not spoil the thread ive opened another one in the CMBS main forum page where I give a more detailed explanation and where we would really apreciate the help. Thank you in advance:

    I'm here to ask you guys some for some informed help.

    There have been Ukrainians training in my country for a while now, and this last cycle that just graduated, they have selected 3 dozen or so candidates to go through another X amount of extended training and turn them into NCO's/Officers.

    My unit is going to be in charge of that training.

    I was talking with the base psychologist, who is going to be in charge of their "psychological" training. She will be giving them half a dozen of weekly addresses, but she has been given no advice or direction on what to teach them. She has some idea of where to start (stress handling, leadership skills...etc) but apart from that, taking into account these guys are headed for an actual shooting war obviously she wants to make an actual contribution and not give them hollow TedTalks.

    As people with more expertise than me, I refer to you all the question:

    What sort of psychological training would you recommend she prepare given the circumstances? What topics should she cover or what sort of techniques could she teach?

    Thank you in advance.

     

    PS I apologize if this isn't the correct place for the post but it's the place with the most traffic at the moment and the training isn't far off, so we would appreciate the help. Again, thank you in advance.

    I don't think this is currently working. "<<Error in line 17(assert("CM Black Sea.exe"+ 3120A2,7E 1F 8B 86 74 B3 00 00)): The bytes at "CM Black Sea.exe" +3120A2 are not what was expected>> 

    Perhaps the Steam version of the exe is different? 

    This is what happened to me. Any solutions @Dragon Coder???

    In Germany's defense, their operating assumption for 30 years was nobody in their right mind would start a major land war on the European continent in this day and age. Unfortunately, the most relevant part of that was 'in their right mind'. They didn't factor in Putin's creeping senility turning him reckless in his old age.

    Also in their defense this seems to be the thinking of the miltaries of western europe, bar maybe the UK and France who have actually seen some sort of moderate combat in the last decades. Personally I find everything said in the article way to familiar...

    The Spanish defense minister said yesterday that we have attending Ukrainian soldiers with terrible wounds and amputations. There is a large military Hospital (Hospital Central de la Defensa Gómez Ulla) in Madrid. No info about where the wounded are being attended, but I guess they are in the Gómez Ulla hospital. It has the most advanced medical technology, so is able to attend almost anything (including Ebola et al.).

    Edit: There are 4 wounded in the Gómez Ulla, and 14 in the military hospital of Zaragoza.

    Some also came to visit our base here in Barcelona last month. Dont know if they are been treated here in the city though.

    Thank you for the Spain insight. I somehow always thought Spain as pretty militarist and ready to go with the Ukraine support.

    Never thought it would have been a taboo of any sort.

     

    Your welcome. Just to clarify. Spain in general has been favourable to actual support of Ukraine, which was a welcome suprise to me. I was very happy to see all those C90 at weapons go over, aswell as all the M113s. We did send another mish mash of gear which to be honest is preety crap but hey it is what we have.

    Going back to the support. Ukraine has served to push the narrative here the the military is actually there for something and the Armed Forces atleast are trying to capitalize on this to get more funding (funding that is desperately needed and has been put off for decades).

    Before Ukraine all this was much harder to aquire and justify.

    I wonder what exactly are the Spanish needs for MBTs? At least right now in the coming couple of years.

    Valid question. Which is why I dont know why we have so many. The main reason would be a land war with Morroco or deployment to eastern europe vs the Russians. We are already enoyings spains first deployment of Leo2Es in Latvia but just in platoon strength. Wether or not that will be increased or decreased in the future I dont know.

    Vs Morroco its debatable wether they would even see combat before "its over". A number of Leo2a4s are stationed in Ceuta and Melilla. Depends on the strategy we decide to employ.

    The question must be financial in nature in there. I hope some sort of Leopard pool funding will be created. I see no reason for Spain not giving at least half of its operational fleet for fair compensation.

    Financial AND poltiical. Defense is a tabboo subject in Spain. Any talk of defense spending creates ripples politicians are not willing to create. With the war now there has been some leeway in justifying some increases but...still. There SECOND main party in the goverment coalition heavily lobied AGAINST sending ANYTHING to Ukraine. Still the Main question is how many of those Leo2s are operational. If you are going to ask for half our fleet....yeah I doubt we can give that. I would love for that to be the case though.

    Looking by the chart, Spain has surprisingly large fleet of Leos. 300+ pieces for a country with no natural enemies in sight nor special post-colonial obligations (like France and UK) gives some hope they may throw several vehicles extra.

     

     

    Well I would disagree. Taking away Eastern Europe, who now has seen their main threat lose their military in Ukraine, and Greece, We are the last country in Europe bordering a hostile neighbour. We have a history of scuffles with them and I do believe that eventually its gonna go hot in someway.

    But anyway Its no secret (I think) that Spain has suffered from the german syndrome of neglecting its military. We may have a big fleet of Leos (for some reason) but id bet their readiness level isnt that great. In the summer the minster of defense stated that we would send any to Ukraine due to ther "pitiful state". Then again this could be her just using that as a political excuse but I wouldnt be suprised. Ive seen worse during the 10 years ive been working with the Spanish Armed Forces. Rumorology sort of confirms it- Im sure we could send some number, but not as many as we could if the fleet was operational without neglecting our own needs.

    Thanks! I'm slowly getting back into things. From what I've done thus far, I had to pause due to the number of TO&E substitutions I had to make in order to get the Tigers to perform somewhat like their rl counterparts. The biggest issue were the off map support assets and C2. Drove me bonkers. Once I can figure that part out, we're golden.

    Good to hear :) looking forward to take all these scenarios for a spin!

    Here's a link to all the maps I've done so far (I think, still scrounging). Some of them have AI and units in them, some of them don't. Some are in beta stages of completion and there's one map in there for CM BS, but nonetheless. Here it is.

    First of all great to have you back! Hope all your RL issues got fixed. Just out of curiosity, are you planning on continuing work on the campaign?

    So... lots of BMP-1s? I can kinda get seeing a few MTLBs because they're semi-ubiquitous utility vehicles, but not so many BMP-1s.

    I mean, could be DPR/LPR vehicles, but committing the second-rate cannon fodder to an important operation is probably a sign of something worse.

    Also: there's a chunk of BMP stuck in a tree!

    Not just the fact that they are BMP1s, but also they seem to be very old versions of them. Isnt that structure ontop of the cannon the launch system for AT-3s? Arent those like Cold War era variants? Is that a fair observation to make or is that detail insignificant?
