The main thing that we have to develop is soldiers and leaders with enough mental agility to be able to adjust to rapidly changing circumstances.

The SF school's final field exercise ROBIN SAGE provides a good model for this. Also, when I went to interrogation school back in '91 we had just adopted a new FTX based on cracking an insurgency.

We need soldiers with a much higher skill set than in previous wars, combining combat, investigative, and public relations capabilities. Decision making needs to be much more decentralized and levels of management eliminated.
