Isn't attention to detail preached on here to the youngsters or SOF hopefuls? Lack of time isn't be a valid enough reason to not review your work.
Come on man. Do you really not understand the difference here? If the CONOP/WARNO/whatever was bad, then higher should have disapproved it.Isn't attention to detail preached on here to the youngsters or SOF hopefuls? Lack of time isn't be a valid enough reason to not review your work.
One could think there is a 'problem' with Leadership in that part of the world....

They are tearing that TL to shreds. Fudged up accountability during a gunfight with multiple vehicles moving and firing, multiple casualties sustained, and both sides of your helmet blaring commanders' voices demanding SITREPs... I understand the people in the article are experiencing immense pain, but I'm not sure one can overstate the chaos of the situation. Officer Candidates lose people between the barracks and the chow hall at OCS, not because they're idiots or apathetic, but because keeping track of moving humans takes brainpower; now add incoming fire, spotty comms, and separate vehicles to the equation. I hate the way the article makes it sound like he was incompetent simply because he lost track of where his guys were WHILE GETTING ATTACKED.
Oh, and the writer can pound sand for this one: "only one combat deployment to Afghanistan." Clearly trying to make the guy sound inexperienced. That's more than 90% of the TLs I know coming through these days.

From my POV, yes, it's important to train with your counterparts and get a handle on what kind of people they are. Are they dependable? Trustworthy? Are they going to unass the AO and leave you with your dick in your hand during the first hairy contact?
Agreed....just posting the newest thing I have found.
