The Army wants your comments on its new Capstone Concept<\/a><\/p>\n

by <\/strong>Robert Haddick<\/strong><\/a>
\nBrigadier General H.R. McMaster has sent to Small Wars Journal <\/em>the latest draft of Army Capstone Concept version 2.7. McMaster leads a team at TRADOC that is charged with revising the Capstone Concept, which provides fundamental guidance to the Army’s doctrine and training efforts. <\/strong><\/p>\n

By December, McMaster and his team will complete their work on the Capstone Concept. Between now and then, he wants to hear from you. So please <\/strong>open this file<\/strong><\/a>, read it, and provide your comments, either here or at the <\/strong>Capstone Concept comment thread at Small Wars Council<\/strong><\/a>. McMaster and his team will read these comments and use them to improve this important document.<\/strong><\/p>\n

(You will note that the Capstone Concept draft we received is marked “For Official Use Only.” I assure you that we received this document openly from the Army and for the purposes explained above. McMaster and his colleagues at TRADOC want Small Wars Journal<\/em>‘s readers to help them improve the Capstone Concept.)<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ok. Mil\/intel\/strategy\/national security\/COIN bloggers. We’ve been blogging on the “future of warfare”\u00a0for five or six or more years. Some of us have also\u00a0written books and journal articles, spoken at conferences and done op-eds. Along the way, there has been periodic lamentation (i.e. whining) that the powers that be don’t “get it” and no one pays attention anyway. Well HR McMaster<\/strong> <\/a>is asking for\u00a0 input on shaping official military policy<\/a>. A “put up or shut up” moment for the bloggers.<\/p>\n

I’m in! Who else is joining the party?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
