riper

The industry is even riper for disruption now than when Revolution started, and hardly disrupted at all.

Eventually, Van Riper got so fed up with all this cheating that he refused to play any more.

What this Van Riper did is similar to helping somebody practice football kick returns, but instead of helping, just repeatedly running regular offensive formations.

It's too complex a case for me to understand fully, but it's clear that Van Riper totally underrepresented the disadvantages of his low-tech methods.

Most modern people I know cannot pick the riper and more nutritious fruit, vegetable or animal product when given two alternatives.

I expected to read that Van Riper died of natural causes later that year.

At least they're thinking cautiously about it in some ways and not completely forgetting lessons learned w/ Gen Paul Van Riper in the Millennium Challenge (2002).

Van Riper just extended that concept to the marine environment.

Van Riper (what a name!) essentially glitched the simulation.

I think it is important that Van Riper showed how that tactic could be used, but it is far harder to pull something like that off.

To be fair, the pre-ordained script was put together to utilize the resources that were brought in to run the challenge after General van Riper wiped the floor with them.

Van Riper showed them they had weaknesses but they preferred to sidestep them --this thought process probably explains our initial susceptibility to IEDs and other unorthodox tactics by our foes.

In one scenario, the Van Riper's team 'sunk' a flotilla but the warroomers 'refloated' them, just because.[1] "For instance—and here is where he displayed prescience—Van Riper used motorcycle messengers to transmit orders to Red troops, thereby eluding Blue's super-sophisticated eavesdropping technology.

I'm not necessarily saying Riper was wrong, but I just wanted to point out that the motivation for the reset runs deeper than "the games were designed to let blue win".

> Van Riper was informed by the white cell, or “control,” overseeing the game [...] > When Van Riper went to Kernan to complain, he was told: “You are playing out of character.

Edit: I did a few more web searches but am yet to come across any article that "debunks" the narrative that Van Riper "defeated" the US naval force.

Another example is where Malcolm Gladwell describes Col Van Riper's exploits in his book Blink.

Paul van Riper) used asymmetric warfare strategies, designed to exploit weaknesses in US military doctrine.

There's also been some criticism about Riper's claims, that the simulation was completely unrealistic.
