Agree with everything but 3, 4 and 6.The UFP could do the following without any resistance from modern Earth forces:
1. Destroy any military base on the planet
2. Sink any ship at sea
3. Destroy any tank, fighting vehicle, supply truck that they can see
4. Abduct world leaders (using the transporter)
4a. The leaders who catch on might hide, but even then they would essentially be a government in exile
5. Destroy the satellite network
6. Target any gathering of troops, disperse any organized resistance.
7. Destroy military aircraft
Any forces in urban areas could not be targeted without causing casualties among the civilian populace. The UFP would never intentionaly start bombing cities. Also, given that simple electrical transformers can stop transporters from working, I doubt the effectiveness of a transporter in an urban environment, which would suggest that most governments would not be abducted.
Actualy, it's far more likely that military commanders would order their forces to withdraw to the safety of their cities and towns, which they then begin fortifying against any attacks.Within 72 hours I expect that most of the governments on Earth would have either surrendered, or had their conventional military completely wiped out. Leading to the end of organized resistance, with the exception of bands of soldiers who don't comply with the surrender agreement, freedom fighters, etc.
Yeah, bullshit. These Fed infiltrators would need to learn quite a bit of Earth history, culture, economics, certain languages and way of life. Any idea how long that'd take?
1. UFP has a large population of Humans, who can merge with the groups of refugees that will inevitably form. They will keep an ear out people who are part of the resistance. Any who are, get beamed to "reeducation camps"
Oh, and need I point out that virtualy every insurgency in human history has been fought with exactly those tactics? Need I also point out how utterly useless they were at stopping them in many cases?
Incorrect, on virtualy every count.2.Any ground fighting that does occur will see the UFP forces supported by overwhelming firepower from shuttles and star ships. Troops that are in trouble could be beamed away, troops can be beamed into strategic positions to engage the enemy. The UFP is more mobile than anything modern Earth has ever seen, they can pick their fights and concentrate their forces to ensure victory.
Any ground fighting would occur in heavily fortified cities. That means that the UFP cannot pick their fights, the defenders are choosing where the battle takes place.
Electrical transformers, and hell, probably standard military ECM, would render transporters useless, forcing them to beam down outside the city and advance on foot.
While you're right that the UFP is certainly more mobile than modern armies, that's only an advantage to certain extents.
