at once. Ensure thorough consolidation of previous positions before advancing. 11. Build such an overwhelming military power that an opponent will realize he must not accommodate. 12. Combine offensive and defensive methods, tools, and weapons in a coordinated manner designed to ensure retention of the initiative. 13. Use psychological technique known as "reflexive control" to lead an opponent into unwittingly doing what you want. 14. Remember the critical importance of time as a key factor in warfare. Establish time-phased goals based on thorough testing to determine minimum realistic and feasible times required to accomplish missions. Red Team non-military forms of war The Soviets believe that they have more strength in their non-military forms of war in comparison to the Western countries. Because of this belief, the Soviets maximized the use of these forms of war. The following three non-military forms of war can be found in Section V, Red Strategic Plan, of the declassified Proud Prophet government document. 1. Economic - Use Western weaknesses in financial structure and energy resources as levers to create unemployment, panic and clashes between peoples and governments. 2. Cultural - Use cultural concerns as psychological levers to prevent western use of nuclear weapons. 3. Political - Manipulate local political interests, as well as groups and individuals. Outcome Proud Prophet made the year of 1983 a dangerous year. There were events such as the one which involved Korean Air Flight 007. Following that, was the "Petrov incident" and the Able Archer incident. These events proved that the players of Proud Prophet did not realize how obsessed and potentially dangerous the Soviet leaders were becoming. Many of the strategic concepts that were meant to deal with the Soviet Union were sorted out and revealed as either irresponsible or completely incompatible with current United States capabilities, and were immediately thrown out. There were proposed strategies such as launching on warning, which were quickly disposed of. Authorities were not comfortable with the idea of letting computers connected to a radar system, have the ability to launch missiles. Another strategy that did not last long involved attacking Moscow, in hopes of knocking it out as a command center. The Soviets had more than 30,000 nuclear weapons. It was felt that they would find a way to retaliate against the United States. There was the impression that sending NATO armies into Eastern Europe was an appealing option until someone gamed it
