New Studies from CSI

[Tom Odom]

The Combat Studies Institute has several new GWOT Occasional papers available at http://usacac.leavenworth.army.mil/CAC/csi/index.asp

These include:

Advising Indigenous Forces: American Advisors in Korea, Vietnam, and El Salvador (OP 18)
by Robert Ramsey III

Advice for Advisors: Suggestions and Observations from Lawrence to the Present (OP 19)
by Robert Ramsey III

I highly recommend Bob Ramsey's OPs 18 and 19 on Advisors. Bob was a LTC at CSI in 1985 and took a young CPT (me) under his wing. His OP 18 offers great historical insights of great applicability today. For anyone who has worked inside a foreign culture, OP 18 is worth the read.
