This manuscript describes how US military advisors prepare for and conduct operations in war. Through two separate year-long combat tours as a military advisor in Iraq, the author brings true vignettes into modern military strategy and operational art. Further, the author provides multiple perspectives in command relationships. Through years of personal experience, direct interviews, and Warfighting knowledge, the author challenges conventionally accepted truths and establishes a new standard for understanding the impact of American advisors on the modern battleground.

Security force assistance (SFA) is a central pillar of the counterinsurgency campaign being waged by U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan. This monograph analyzes SFA efforts in Afghanistan over time, documents U.S. and international approaches to building the Afghan force from 2001 to 2009, and provides observations and recommendations that emerged from extensive fieldwork in Afghanistan in 2009 and their implications for the U.S. Army.

The world after the nuclear war was a wasteland, and nature was radiating with extraordinary vitality! The world was shrouded in green, and the lush woodlands had become a paradise for all living beings to hunt and evolve! The former hegemon of humanity had become the lowest level of existence in the food chain, surviving tenaciously and with great difficulty! The gears of history have begun to turn again, beginning with the Dirty Valley.
