A letter to my replacement: To the Marine who replaced me as an advisor

Article Abstract:

A Marine who was the logistics chief of a military transition team (MiTT) that trains and advises an Iraqi Army (IA) unit writes a letter to his replacement, recounting his experiences and the necessary qualities for the job. He states that his standard Marine noncommissioned officer (NCO) training and experience would enable him to use his combat skills in addition to the advisory capacity, and mental toughness. This would build a rapport with Iraqi counterparts, providing effective logistical training that are essential for the advisor.

Intelligence support for the FSSGs of the 21st Century

Article Abstract:

The battalion and Major Subordinate Elements (MSE) commanders within the Force Service Support Groups (FSSGs) are not having adequate intelligence support to accomplish their assigned missions. The Marines of the FSSG, although are truck drivers, box kickers, and wrench turners, they are also warriors, and hence they should also be offered intelligence support for success in battlefield.
