Creation of the Advisory Unit in the U.S. Army

Authors: Charles Jack; NAVAL WAR COLL NEWPORT RI JOINT MILITARY OPERATIONS DEPT
Abstract:
The recent and future increase in the need for the advisor mission warrants creation of a permanent advisor organization and further modification of the training provided to Iraqi military and security personnel. Based on examples from our past military history and current mission in Iraq and Afghanistan, the creation of the advisor unit will greatly enhance the capabilities of our military and produce quality foreign security forces to deal with future challenges. The Army's experiences in Iraq gave the military many lessons to begin development of doctrine and force structure for the advisor missions. With special operations forces over-burdened with hyper-kinetic missions as well as advisor missions, the conventional army must assume the advisor role. The counterargument addresses career alignment, size, and leadership challenges.
