FM 3-07-1 Security Force Assistance was released on May 5th month by TRADOC (announcement here, PDF here).  I have been waiting for this one since I saw an early draft of it several months ago.  As I feared, I was underwhelmed by the chapters dealing with culture.

In case anyone was wondering why Drew hasn’t been around making comments, it’s because he is over in Afghanistan.  He is doing a form of micro-blogging on his trip at CycloneFanatic.com   His latest post is available at http://www.cyclonefanatic.com/forum/off-topic/50014-culture-etc.html
