Wilf, I very much agree infantry is infantry. Stalking, sniper/marksmanship/solving problems with a range of options not just one/TTP's being written at the unit level/milling we call this street fightin in america all are BASIC infantry skills nothing advanced about it. Also believe that NCO's are capable of writing manuals not just officers.
Hmmm in the past 7.5 years I have put together 40 plus newsletters and handbooks. Many, not all, were NCO-authored, either in part or in total. I edited; I even ghost-wrote when necessay. But the ideas were from NCOs....
So my hyper-drive, human version of the Ever Ready Rabbit, whom I always listened to and most often accepted cogent advice from, exactly what are you trying to say?

Wilf, has this piece been updated since the 2006 original?
