Jed, I just got home so here is part two of my response.

1-as usual thanks for the web sites. I was already reading FAMG old issues where they used the CARVER targeting technique in soldier delivered information operations in Kosovo, very interesting. I am still finishing the info on DIAG again very interesting.

2-I don't mean we should slap on a US style LE operation and think everything will work. I do think LE skills should be added to company commanders and below for them to use as they see fit based upon the situation.

3-Just because anti-gang units didn't work does not mean there aren't LE ops thet are very sucessfull. In fact the more successfull the less publicity they get. R.O.T.(retake our turff) was used extensively in the south, result no major gang activity, only a few so called baby gang bangers are left. later.
