ISI officers/agents manning these points or army intelligence officers from the Pakistani divisions and corps in the area, if they decide to put their three collection centers on the Pakistani side? Will the Pakistanis staff their allotment to the afghan-based posts even should they decide not to go forward with the Pakistani collection centers? They say to keep your friends close and your enemies closer- perhaps that's what we've in mind?

I imagine that if they position all six w/ consideration to infiltration routes and secure them nicely, they might just attract the entire fight onto them.

It'd sure make that intell collection effort a lot easier. Naturally, bringing combat down upon their heads may keep them a tad busy from their collection conferences and meetings at these centers but that's a small cost to pay for the privilege of daily mortar and rocket-fire.

Some thoughts.
