I think it's obvious that we need to improve our UW capabilities at all levels. Conventional forces creating the environment for Special Forces to operate is a good way to put it in my opinion (granted it's a boot lieutenant's opinion). Therefore, conventional forces need to be better able to create that environment. So I think we're on track in that regard.

As for how, that's a whole different discussion. If you've seen my few posts on this site you know I'm a proponent of Distributed Operations and that belief was reinforced when I actually got an official USMC brief on the concept last week rather than going off my own research.
