Based on your question from your last deployment, you will count sheep - didn't know that Bates had a course in animal husbandry.
Not certain on the sheep counting this time...maybe predominantly goats .

The focus of my team will be along the lines of operation that are less concerned directly with security, and yes, we will predominantly be Marines at the fore Imagine if you will the ringleader who has to supervise the synergy between folks like PRT reps, information operations and pysop, security forces development, USAID, intelligence types, and others, as that synergy applies to my particular patch of dirt.

During my last deploy, the sheep bit was a function of our recce efforts to determine the health of the livestock husbandry efforts south the Euphrates River Valley. We were looking at facilitating an Iraqi veterinarian to come in and provide care. Alas, we picked everything up and moved to just west of Tal Afar and there were few flocks left anyway due to the drought!

Thanks for the links, as well as yours Entropy.
