Jedburg you are right. When I was doing my thesis on Special Forces missions in 1994 the next mission after UW and COIN for SF was stability operations (and it applied to the whole Army as well). And so you prove the point I should have tried to make. Some of the best doctrine that we need for dealing with the uncertain environments of the future exist in our historical doctrine. We keep trying to reinvent the wheel with new terms and concepts but there are tried an true terms and doctrine that just might need some minor adjustments to remain useful today and tomorrow.
