As Ive alluded to so many times and what the USN struggles to attain:

"Only through a persistent presence and interaction with host nations can the required cultural awareness and mutual
trust be achieved. This cannot be adequately achieved through surge or episodic deployments alone."

And really this was the bais for ESG's now downloaded to the GFS or as I prefer the LSG.

As much as Im all for non-combat ops the forces engaged must retain the ability to revert to combat ops at any time.

An old Adage is "train like you will fight because you will surely fight like you train."

The message has to be clear and concise as to your intentions.

Anything less IMHO breeds over-estimation or under-estimation which begets chaos.

Always remember the entire world has an inherent tendency to gravitate towards chaos.

Just look at a childs room a for quick reminder or my notes. LOL
