I work in a place where I straddle the line between importance and impotence daily. Why, you ask? Because I get emails that say this:
“Unified land operations replaces full spectrum operations as the Army’s operating concept. Decisive action replaces full spectrum operations as the collective term for simultaneous offense, defense, stability and defense support of civil authorities as an enabler for unified land operations. Full spectrum operations is obsolete and should be stricken from use. Whether authors use unified land operations or decisive action will depend on context and meaning.”
Really? What does that mean anyway? *facepalm*
Usually we would just release a bunch of changes to published manuals and move on because it will change anyway. Need I remind you of the infamous command-and-control-is-verbotten-and-is-now- called-battle-command-is-now-also-verbotten-and-is-now-called-mission-command change last year. I know.
Only one problem with the plan to simply publish a change to the all the manuals and be done with it: Full Spectrum Combat Aviation Brigade.
*facepalm encore*
