#1 American officialdom does like their names. I'll never forget my division at LANL being inspected by an accounting "Tiger Team".

#4 Mosaic warfare is the solution of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to China’s perceived growing military prowess.

FIFY

I'd start with a resurrection of an old fighting principle - WIN.

#7 I suppose the old strategy of 'Two up - One in Reserve' has run it's course.

#8 Does the enemy have to be on the same version, or does he turn back in shame and return when he's upgraded ?

The "Triangular Divisions" started showing up in World War I where they were more efficient usage of manpower in a defined front situation. In Counter-Insurgency, or any other situation where the unit is out in the wilderness all by its lonesome, the Triangle starts running out of manpower really quickly.

#12 Very true MAG. I'll bet Hal Moore would have liked to have had an extra battalion or two at XRAY.

#13 As a company commander I had the honor to sit on a hilltop overlooking Stony Valley at Ft Hunter Ligget for about three hours and listen to him talk about battle calculus and weapons systems placement. His comparison of main force meeting engagements with hydrostatics based on terrain and how forces flow was utterly brilliant and typically plain spoken. Truly an honor to witness a great soldier as mentor without a trace of arrogance.

#14 NoMo ~ WTF happened to leaders like Hal Moore ?

#15 As a nation, we have increasingly forgotten whose shoulders we stand on, and the values that were the core of those forbearers beliefs. As we have abandoned the legacy of Western Civilization, we have hollowed out the institutions that produced everything of value, included the processes that made Hal Moore rise to the top.......

#17 #14 NoMo ~ WTF happened to leaders like Hal Moore ? --Besoeker

Decadent Empires seem to be more afraid of aggressive, competent subordinates than the barbarians on the other side of the frontier. Someone like Hal Moore would scare an ancient court eunuch or beltway bandit because he is honorable and effective.
