Thanks for sharing this report. What stuck ...Pat,<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this report. What stuck out to me was the decisive leadership steps taken by McChrystal and Gates to form a unified NATO force to work with US combat leader Rodriguez (pg. 6, bullet 6).<br /><br />Also, but seems to be improbable as report notes, is the support of civilian agencies; however, "Afghanistan over the next 2-3 years will be simply too dangerous..."<br /><br />Any insight on using assets already there - or about to be deployed - to perform the COIN tasks which would have been pursued by civilian agencies in coordination with McChrystal's strategy?<br /><br />Given the rising growth of domestic homegrown threats, the agencies most likely are focusing assets in US to counter/combat transnational issues.
