AWG is not an SMU and don't fall under the traditional chain of command for an SMU. They are also not "operators" -- you won't be kicking down any doors at AWG or conducting overseas offensive missions. AWG is actually a TRADOC unit, and is comprised of experienced warfighters who help TRADOC in three primary ways according to their web site:

Operational Advising: Support Army and Joint Force Commanders by advising and assisting predeployment and in-theater forces to enable the defeat of current and emerging threats.

Identify Capability Gaps: Provide observations and analyses of regional operating environments to identify capability gaps and describe potential conflict zones relevant to future Army requirements.

Solution Development: Rapidly develop, disseminate and transition nonmaterial and material countermeasures to create tactical and operational advantages in support of Unified Land Operations.

It's mission is:
"The AWG provides operational advisory support globally and rapid solution development to the Army and Joint Force commanders to enhance Soldier survivability and combat effectiveness, and enable the defeat of current and emerging threats in support of Unified Land Operations.'

If your considering applying, stop considering and apply. The worse that can happen is they say "no"

SSG Vann - as a former AWG member, I'll tell you this - apply NOW. You'll have outstanding leadership, a challenging mission, and opportunities you won't see in almost any other job. Feel free to PM me with any questions.

HI. I am considering dropping my application for AWG. I am a 25W and it is actually on my career path (broadening assignment). When you get a chance, I'd really like to chat with you about the organization. Thanks in advance.
