    Recommendation Request - FOB

    I am looking for quality literature, online or offline, that discusses the various roles and functions of an Army Forward Operating Base, both modern and historical.

    All recommended reading...

    Then I see three issues.

    1) A major problem I have with the SC MAGTF planning is the same issue I have with Global Fleet Stations - the dwell time. I am not sure we are going to be able to develop...

    Hopefully conceptual development does not end there.

    How do the Marines take enhanced companies to sea, and operate from the sea? We have gone from 5 ship ARG to 4 ship ARG to now 3 ship ARG, and...

    SWC comes through again. This has been a very useful discussion in my current work and research.

    Where can one find a transcript of RADM Guillory remarks from the SNA Lunchen? Is it online?

    I...

    Ken,

    I think you are wrong on so many parts of that post it would take us enormously off coarse on this discussion to go through it, only I will suggest that I don't think you know what you think...

    I will look at it from the Navy's perspective, but I would argue an Air Force example could apply as well. To operate at sea, or in the sky, you require equipment. We can field light infantry on land...

    Ron,

    I need to read that thoroughly and come back to it, several interesting links in that thread.

    Ken,

    I think you and I agree in that we both see policy as the driver, not strategy. I...

    Very interesting. I guess I have largely missed the perspective that Grand Strategy is a bridge too far for the US, or that peacetime strategy is even possible. The CDI paper was the first time I had...

    There is a remarkable lack of coverage on this issue, the European press is doing a good job though, probably because it is in the British zone.

    For all the discussion regarding the possibility of...

    Stan, it is noteworthy I learn about that news here instead of flashed all over google news or drudge.

    As I look back on the NIE, I find that it delivered more than what was in the writing. I...

    Great Thread, wish I would have seen it when it started. I have a ton of thoughts, but also a lot of questions. I have been and will be blogging this subject a lot lately.

    First let me say I see...
  12. Observing the Minot Incident

    Not sure who has been watching, but In From the Cold has been putting together an investigative report on the nuclear weapon mishap at Minot last year. The blog has published two in the three part...

    It isn't really a prediction as it is an observation. All indications point to Iran appearing to be remarkably patient.

    My observations on the particulars of what we have heard have been shaping...

    I'm sorry, was written a bit confusing. I'm not talking a few months from now; I'm talking about a few months from a point in the future when they have their civilian nuclear program up and running....

    I agree. In negotiation this is part of the give though. I'm not sure I believe this hurts those in opposition though. I do not see building domestic support for the civilian nuclear program within...

    I'm not an expert on negotiations, but I've been largely unimpressed with the US approach of unconditional terms with Iran. It seems counter intuitive to me that the US should expect any results...
