They are still working on the culture thingy

American-style NCO corps is a huge force multiplier in that it allows you to make decisions and take action at a lower level rather that waiting for info & orders to come down from HQ. That whole OODA loop thing. The downside is you have to trust them not to overthrow their own government.
