Once we have done that, the plan is to transition that unit into a training cadre to train the trainers from the operating forces and let them refine the ideas. At that point, my plan is to further transition that unit into an adversary company role. The plan is to use some of the Center for Non-Traditional Operational Studies money into state of the art threat training ie. bring in the XXX, XXX, and XXX and let them bring our folks up to speed on emerging threat tactics and let them do force on force training engagements with MEU units etc. My initial candidate for this unit would be the demonstration troops from TBS as their most frequent training audience would be TBS students. No argument with Sun Tzu.
Measurement is possible if it is seriously pursued.
We do need more studies, but only good ones. Not many past studies are valid. We often drink our own bathwater. I'm not sure that what we know. I concur that power is necessary.
