RGR that Lion03...I think the offensive operations (the shelling of South Ossetia) the GAF took immediately following the bulk of the US departure was a calculated move to try and halt the pending invasion by Russia, bolstered not by the training they received but the support that was given by the US. Russia also knew that it would not be wise to attack while over a 1000 US Military were on location. But I feel that they also planned to attack as soon as the US left.
One more point and I will leave it at that...this was a very large exercise with a very long logistical tail. It took over a month to get everything in country. The bulk of US personnel only left on the 2nd and 3rd of August.
