Can't speak for Wilf, of course...

I agree that you're one of the more supportive folks with respect to TRADOC -- and I'm one of the least. I acknowledge it is needed and generally tries but do believe it is unduly bureaucratic and excessively cautious. After seven years of working in the environment (admittedly 30 years ago -- and it has not changed much in the intervening years...) I am very much in agreement with you:

i know from experience that there are a lot people with the best of intentions attempting to support Soldiers needs to the best of their abilities.

and that is very true, good and is the saving grace IMO. OTOH, this is also correct:

What you have described is not in fact new...does not constitute change much less a "giant leap" or "unpresedented"...

Sorry for late on parade. Sabbath and all that....

I have no real issue with TRADOC per se, except they have produced some very badly written, virtually incomprehensible documents, that do nothing to improve understanding or practice. The latest FM5-0 draft being a real doozy - Apart from that, I'm sure they must do a bang up job!
