Military / Defense | | English term or phrase: Red Cell | Good evening everyone. Anybody know the Arabic term for Red Cell in the meaning detailed below? The context is about spying and secret operations, and the exact sentence is "There's been increased Red Cell activity in the Ukraine during the past month".

Here is the definition:
Red Teams or Red Cells are U.S. government parlance for teams or units designed to test the effectiveness of U.S. tactics or personnel. "Red Cell" was purported to be a U.S. Navy SEAL team (composed primarily of members of SEAL Team Six) which had been organized to attempt to infiltrate and otherwise test the security of U.S. military bases and other installations sensitive to U.S. security interests. The original Red Cell group was led by the former commander of Seal Team Six (DevGru) Richard Marcinko.
"Red Team" was also a term for the opposing force OpFor in a war game by western nations during the Cold War, a reference to the predominantly red flags of Communist nations (i.e. the USSR and China) with the western nation(s) being the Blue Team. The USSR used the same colors in reversed meaning—they were the Red Team and the OpFor was the Blue Team.
A Red Cell was used after the 9/11 attacks to brainstorm ways to attack America, in order to come up with security measures to prevent them.
Much obliged for any help on this. Thanks. |
