It really does not tell you much about what to expect differently or as to how things could be changed. But thought it may be of interest to some to have a read on.

LTC,

As a deployer to Southern Philippines in the early-2000's, I know of the difficulties that lie on the road ahead. That region is placed on the back-burner when it comes to fighting AQ and ISIS/ISIL. As a Terrorism/Counterterrorism graduate from AMU, I've written a few papers regarding that fight in the region.

Thank you for reposting this.

Which years were you down there Jason - the initial phases - or when Jolo started to be the focus?

LTC Eric Udouj - November 04 - March 05 - JSOTF-P in Zambo. I never ventured farther south.

SGT (Join to see) - As far as the back-burner comment, I'm referring to the Navy more, as quite a few Sailors that I speak with have no knowledge of the Philippines, unless they think of being on a ship of the coast. I was boots on ground there and worked with Marines, Air Force, and Army. Saw quite a few USSOCOM guys there as well but didn't interact with them as much.
