Update on North Korea • North Korea stated that is now in a “State of War” with the South and has cut off all ties to the South. • North Korea announced Tuesday that it has restarted many of its nuclear facilities it shut down in 2007 in return for food for its starving population.
Update on North Korea • In response the US has deployed stealth F-22 Fighter Jets to South Korea, as well as flying B-2 Stealth bombers in a training exercises over the South as a show of force and deterrent. • Analysis: Tensions haven’t been this high on the Korean peninsula in decades and a “WW1” type event or mistake could trigger a full scale war, but for now is still highly unlikely.

AAR for Recon Planning Lab • Improves • 1. • Issue: Full Participation • Discussion: the people who were not in leadership positions during the walk through laid in security the whole time and were unable to fully learn from the practical • Recommendation: Include all participants in the practical and allow those in security to listen and watch everything the SL does • 2. • Issue: Lack of motivation • Discussion: Cadets felt as if others were not taking the practical serious and were just walking through the motions • Recommendation: Increase seriousness during the lane and treat it as if it were real • Sustains • 1. Good lab concept - liked the class and then being able to go outside and actually do a practical • 2. Good use of white boards - liked having the big visual aids besides just the TMK • 3. Good instructors - felt like they knew what they were talking about and were able to answer any questions they had
