Tactical campaign planning for COIN/SSTR
I'm hoping to gain an appreciation from experienced operations folks (i.e. this community!) who can ground me in the realities of how tactical-level campaign design and planning is conducted, with a focus on the systems used and the potential for simple ways technology could help make a difference (or maybe even how they make things worse) I frequent here but haven't seen a focused discussion on this topic.
I'm researching tactical-level campaign planning for COIN/SSTR as practiced in A'stan. I've digested the relevant doctrine (principally FM 3-24, 3-07, and TRADOC Commander's Appreciation, ...) I'm a research engineer for a small R&D DOD contractor with projects at AFRL, ONR and in the past TEC/AGC.
Any insights, lessons learned, or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Very Respectfully,
Dustin

In terms of systems.... I think you'll find that folks are mostly rolling their own and figuring out how to bend existing applications to their own purpose... but then again I'm dated...
