Excellent post, Excellency
Ah, memories of Paul D. and other CinCStrike/MEAFSA. Not to mention STRAC... :D
I think you points are all very correct and your final statement most particularly so.
Words is words...
(emphasis added /kw)
Think the words highlighted may be what what folks cued upon. :confused:
As for the changing, it can happen. Your example is unlikely to be changed because, as you note;...
CentCom is always amusing
in my observation... :rolleyes:
Have to agree with Tom. I know what the book says and
I also know how our Guvmint really works. The Departments do effectively set de facto policy in many areas. Sometimes it's followed up with a de jure Presidential nod, sometimes not. Frequently it...
I'm not an Africa hand but having been in a couple
of other regions; you have just caused me to smack my head in utter chagrin.
The reluctance of Country Teams to support regional or command wide programs is an issue I grumbled about on many...
Needed, no question. However, I doubt we'll do

SF, CA and PsyOps should be
in my view, returned to the Army (and at least some SEAL teams to the Navy) and USSOCOM should keep the DA, SR and allied tasks. The major problem in the services has been the melding of the SOF...
Rob, adding your comment to Mark's...
Great. We can work with this. We're already in Djibouti, I noted in my 13 Jun Jane's that our White Hatted friends say they're going to almost permanently keep a small deck Gator in the Gulf of...
Participate in? I thought that was the
overriding reson d'être. In US parlance, flags and spaces make stars... :)
No question that the Command should be located
...there and as a visitor to SOUTHCOM then and later, no question said old hands are more than right. However, as you know, there's a reason SOUTHCOM is now (but probably not forever) in Miami. I'm...
The Pacific is not always pacific
but the name, applied to a US Military Command is fairly benign. As are the names Central, Northern and Southern. European is locale specifc but it's been around so long no one notices.
OTOH,...
