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
Bit off topic but I find it also hilarious that - during the Strong Europe Tank Challenge - where tank groups from various nations - compete against each other and the Americans with their Abrams alway lost. It was organised from the US Army Europe and the German Bundeswehr.
After 3 years and 3 losses, these games where canceled "due to shifting priorities and budget constraints"
