This is a forum that can help solve problems, improve efficiency, broaden knowledge and advance the Foreign Security Force (FSF) advisor training program. The FSF forum supports the online generation, application, management and exploitation of Army knowledge to foster collaboration among soldiers and units in order to share expertise and experience; facilitate leader development and intuitive decision making; and support the development of organization and teams.

TC 31-73, Special Forces Advisors Handbook, supports FM 3-05.20, Special Forces Operations—the keystone manual of the U.S. Army Special Forces—as well as FM 3-05.202, Special Forces Foreign Internal Defense Operations. It defines the subjective, intangible nuances of human interaction. It is designed to assist the SF Soldier in understanding and navigating the complexities of human behavior as it relates to cross-cultural communication.
