Why is it that everything that looks interesting to read is 222 pgs long. As the title of this entry implies, it appears that the study already has a serious flaw. The size of the forces being compared are significantly different. If my memory serves me correctly, the 101st had over 5 BDEs in the Mosul area alone during the early stages of operations following MCO. It can also easily be reasoned that the nature of the environment was significantly different (e.g. you could not characterize the environment as anything close to an insurgency). Add in different training preparation, body of corporate knowledge (doctrine, shared TTP, etc) and there are just too mand different variable to really form a viable comparison between network-centric and not.
