COUNTER-Insurgency:

The COUNTERCOLUMN has a lengthy, and excellent, piece on US Army efforts to build and improve counterinsurgency training. Short version: the Army in Iraq is doing a great job; the Army back home is falling down. The Captain explains several places where it could improve, and looks at a good reading list.

My only suggestion is that he may underestimate Clausewitz as a resource for understanding Iraq.
