Investigation Details Afghanistan Insider Attack That Killed Army Sergeant Major

SSG Robert Mark Odom thanks for the informative poignant read/share.

When I was in Afghanistan I always thought of this in the make of my head.

The SFAB advisors were "trained extensively on countering insider threats" during pre-deployment training both at the Army's Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, Louisiana and at their home station at Fort Benning, Georgia, the report states.

"Insider threats are the number-one risk associated with the [train, advise and assist] mission and was constantly discussed and trained for throughout the deployment as it was considered the enemy's most dangerous course of action for every mission and location," according to the investigation.

The enemy you don't know about is more dangerous than the one you can identify. Keep your head on a swivel.
