Description: LTC Millen examines warlordism as the principal impediment to Afghanistan's and offers a shift in strategy that addresses the war of ideas, the counternarcotics initiative, and the incorporation of the Afghan National Army into the provinicial reconstruction teams. As LTC Millen observes, all the resources are in place; they simply need a shift in focus.
