RFI: Afghanistan
A close friend of the blog is putting together a course for tactical intelligence officers going to Afghanistan and needs the help of this blog's erudite and experienced readership:
- If there were 60 pages (articles, chapters of books, blog posts, etc.) that you were going to read because you found out today that you deploy tomorrow to Afghanistan as a tactical intelligence officer, what would they be?
- If you had time to read only one book prior to deploying to theater, what would it be?
- What two internet resources besides Afghan Analyst should any intel officer consult before and while deployed to the country?
- What two earth-shattering things are different for an intel officer working in Afghanistan and one who has a previous tour in Iraq?
Help a brother out, readers. We're trying to win a war here.
