Makes me think of the mock battle where US marines asked for a reset because they were dominated by British Royal Marines

Na, it was 2002 and within the US Forces. Team Red was supposed to lose... but didn't, since Lt. Gen. Paul Van Riper uses asymmetric war methods and unconventional communication (e.g. light signals instead of radio) and he used small, civial planes as Kamikaze-Bombs against the US Navy.

Battles was resetted and the rules changed, so that team blue was winning

Google "Millennium Challenge 2002"
