How do we, as a Military incorporate unconventional training into a conventional Army in preparation for the next fight? 2015-09-14T10:21:40-04:00 SSG Raymond Whitener 964339

There are going to need to be specialists in Cultural aspects in each unit in order to gain the trust of those we are fighting to protect over there. There is going to need to be an emphasis on change of tactics in an instant, instead of waiting for HQ to call back to say, yes, change your course of action. <br /><br />I know it sounds simple, but sometimes people in charge make the simple difficult...
