Read it.

Against a poorly trained and emplaced enemy, the "Afghan model" in which SOF lead indigenous forces can succeed as a result of the enemy's ineptitude and overwhelming fire.
However, against more skilled enemies, such as al-Queda fighters at Bai-Beche and in Operation Anaconda, the US cannot simply rely on SOF leading massive amounts of fire. It must have the ability to fire and manuever.
