POST: Letter from the Raider Brigade Commander

The PRTs are the embryonic SysAdmin and the foot soldiers of the Department of Everything Else. They are not a new concept. In Vietnam they were known as CORDs. Given time, they work everywhere, but the time required is everything, and--politically-speaking--Bush has wasted an extraordinary amount of time. So great to see, because it shows how really attacking the problem can yield the outcome desired, but also sad to hear so late in the game. To me, though, the key becomes less Iraq the proving ground and more Iraq the learning laboratory. As the operational experience mounts, the case for the SysAdmin force/DoEE gets harder to refute. Thanks to CitSAR for sending this.
