"The status quo is not sustainable. All of DoD needs to be placed in a large bag and thoroughly shaken. Bureaucracy and micromanagement kill."
-- Ken White
"With a plan this complex, nothing can go wrong." -- Schmedlap
"We are unlikely to usefully replicate the insights those unencumbered by a military staff college education might actually have." -- William F. Owen
Hat tip
The US Army adviser writing this: http://www.armedforcesjournal.com/2009/06/4036672 is to be commended. I do wonder has anyone applied the principles to advising in Afghanistan - which is different from Iraq. Secondly have any coalition members who've done advising written so well?
Alas I fear much of the non-US military writing is behind an official secrecy "wall". There are 'lessons of advising' in the official journal British Army Review, which I shall now have to re-read.
