Politically, it is not likely that NATO would fire a nuke at a vacant piece of land in order to deny access to the WarPac. The West Germans are very particular about their country being radiated. :chin:
When I participated in a command post exercise in 1984 called Golden Saber at Fort Hood, we had our howitzer batteries fire off two tac nukes somewhere on the NGP. The exercise was immediately paused while a PAO followed shortly thereafter by two BDR brigadier generals came over to our area to discuss everything possible about the strike (who gave the order, where was it targeted, what was the size of the warheads, where were the closest population centers, etc.) I, a smart a$$ 1LT
, even got in a little trouble for telling the PAO, a captain :pullhair:, that we didn't need permission because we're CAV! Even so, I got a smile out of the squadron commander :rolleyes:. Afterwards, orders came out that neither side could use nukes for the rest of the exercise. However, that didn't stop the OPFOR from blasting our regiment with tons of chemicals. :boom2:
