I agree, good article.
Changes in warfare from the past and from other current locals require a "what really works?" attitude that can only work with input from the front lines. A classic argument for true "lessons learned". Every situation is different and we must adapt to survive and prosper.
Our current development and supply organizations seem too inflexible and non-adaptive. We can't even get proto-types on the ground without huge cost run ups.
The "get up close and personal with the locals" system is what made the Special Forces what we've come to know and respect.

Another good examination of the changed nature of war making and warfare. Much more of this is needed. This Iraq war may or may not play out before all the lessons learned are applied. Other conflicts in Afghanistan and as yet untold battlefields will surely provide more opportunities for converting the Soviet threat mindset, sadly enough. It is a dark consolation, but perhaps we will not again experience the lapses of memory of the 30 year interlude since our first confrontation with unconventional warfare in Vietnam.
