I've said it many times, I don't have military experience...but if you allow me some artistic license, I'll give it a shot. I used to a corporate troubleshooter...I used to boast that good management skills are like science...they can be applied to any discipline.
1. Prepare primary battle plan...run it through multiple scenarios, these scenarios would depend on how the enemy might start the attack.
2. Break up the leadership into 3 groups, each group would be cross trained or have SMEs/deputies from each branch represented...such as Army, AF, Navy, IRGC, intelligence, and Logistics..etc. Disperse the group to safe houses or hardened bunkers.
3. Assign primary objectives for each division...so they can act independently of central command. Have each group review logistics and supply chain, in case of disruption.
4. Have 24/7 fighter jets patrols in the sky..augmented with Cobra helis.
5. Start moving TELs around every 8 hours or whatever the time limit is for the enemy satellites covering the country...there has to be a dead spot during the 24 time period where their satellites are not in position all over the country. Disperse the TELs park them in tunnels...unused non-military hangers or warehouses.
6. Dispatch swarm boats...rotate them per shift...so at any given time we have a few dozen or more on patrol at all times.
7. If if I was in charge, I would have already called on the chinese or the russians to supply us with radiation missiles... I understand from my limited experience. The Growlers are not immune to the radiation seeking missiles.
8. I would dispatch special forces inside Iraq to attack the enemy bases there with drones, also I would smuggle TELs disguised. Same with syria, and Lebanon..I would have semi trucks ready to go loaded with drones to attack Israel from multiple points...they would have to devote satellites and forces away from Iran to try and contain them, and create multiple fronts to draw the enemies attention and resources.
9. Now for my signature idea that I know has already been picked up: close the strait....with mines, kilo subs, maritime BMs....attack UAEs terminal...don't completely destroy it, just one missile to send the gas prices through the roof. I would also attack the backup oil pipeline that was created to bypass the Persian Gulf expressly for this day and reason.
10. Concentrate all missile power on carriers to stop sorties, and have the planes wave off and land at alternate locations. Swarm the rest of the naval assets and damage them as much as possible. Now I know during this time, they will have a lot of air assets flying overhead.... This is why we need surprises.. Such as drones launch from iraq... TELs that are dispersed all over the country. While other TELs are disguised at semi trucks. Because time is short before they can take them out.
