All tactics can be implemented in some form or fashion in today's battlefield, but the Counter Insurgency approach is the policy to this war. I had only read about the system and had not really herd an in depth discussion about it. The best tool was our Platoon Tac, who was assigned to a major city right out of Ranger school, and his duties were to be a mayor, economist, contractor for projects and their protector. It was great getting first hand account of what programs and approaches worked for him.
Mon- Stability and Coin Operations with a really good intelligence brief.
Tue-Tactics on employing COIN in stability, offensive and defensive postures.
Wed- Intel driven operations. This was very interesting and insightful. As a PL you do not have significant impact on the large picture, unless you gather good intel from your area that can later be used to support an operation.
Thursday- OPORD's ...... Enough said
Friday- 12 Mile Ruck March. This was a little more difficult than anticipated, at 0400 it was 104 degree heat index and the humidity was so bad it felt like a sauna.
