Currently reading the draft of FM 3-24, alot to absorb. Apologize for the confusing use of terms but glad you knew what I meant.

It does seem that the main issues is with the mindset of leadership (conventional). But I recall that conventional forces were under the command of JSTOF-N during the build up and combat phase of OIF and I read the conventional leadership were a real fly in the ointment over that. But that worked out pretty well despite the misgivings of conventional leadership. If we get the guys with the right mindset in the right places, it seems to me that there could be a great synergy produced with the use of conventional/SF applied in the right place at the right time.

Back to my reading before I step on my crank again. I'll be back to comment after I get some more reading done. I find this topic to be very interesting.
