M'kay...  I was thinking about just keeping this for the Navy, but it would work great for either group.  I was thinking of a different type of competition, one that doesn't require loads of activity, or time on the internet...  Just a few minutes of your day. 
    Here's how it goes, a team is presented with a problem, and they have to think of a strategy to solve it meeting certain requirements.  If their plan matches our plan or close to it, they get a certain amount of points.
    So, basically, it's just to see which Flight or Squad can think more schematically.
    Like lets say, we presented this situation to the Army:

You have 12 men armed only with E-11 blasters, 1 frag grenade, and they are wearing dark army uniforms with no special qualities.  Their mission, is to infiltrate a (rebel) base just outside of thier hiding spot.  In order to do this, they must capture the base commander.  (Then we would give them a map showing the fortress, the levels, and corridors inside).  They can not lose any men, it has to be full proof.  No one can be in danger.  (The maps will only include where the Base commander is and not the guards/troops/or any other defense personal.)  They have to schematically think of how they will enter every room on the way to the top.  The area must be secured by the time the Base Commander is captured.

That was a simple situation.  12 men taking over a building.  You could also go into further detail about turrents, the need for vigilent disguise.  Or maybe thier could be stealth missions, whatever.  It's something I think people could really have fun with without having to do alot.  Let me know what you think.

Only one problem, there is no such thing as a fool proof plan.

No plan of battle survives contact with the enemy.

Other then those two snafus it might work.

Yes, Murphy's law of "No plan ever survives first contact with the enemy" plays into the issue here. I suppose the objective is to have a plan as fool proof as possible.

And the "great coordination" required as mentioned by Cos would serve only as the main obstacle in overcoming this tactical problems. What better way than this to test a squad's unity?

Aww come on. I'm bored and I need something new and interesting.

Or anyone can just do it bye themselves and make it into kindof a short story. I would do that if I had plenty of time.

Well, yea...  Basically, let me put this into a slightly finer meaning... 

I shouldn't have said it just takes a few minutes...  But the idea is team unity as mentioned.  But we'd have to develope some kind of system where everyone can add to the strategy.  If anything, it would probably have to be done during IRC...  But I don't know how well that would work, not only cause no one would want to get on, but because some people just can't get on...  I don't want the activity to be excluded just because you can't get a hold of IRC...  So we'll have to figure something else out, like a brainstorming post, where everyone just adds onto what should be done no matter what.  Then, some one could just compile that together and that would be the strategy...
