Coming in December – The 12 Days of Tactical Christmas
Sunday, November 13th, 2011NATO SOF HQ Website
Wednesday, November 9th, 2011
The NSHQ is the primary point of development, direction and coordination for all NATO Special Operations-related activities in order to optimize employment of Special Operations Forces to include providing an operational command capability when directed by SACEUR.
As such, it is the centrepiece of the NATO SOF Transformation Initiative (NSTI). It provides focused Special Operations advice to the SACEUR and the NATO Chain of Command and provides on a collaborative, inter-dependent platform to enhance the Alliance SOF network. Through the NSHQ, NATO is transforming the current NATO SOF capability, i.e. leader education and development, doctrine, training and planning, information systems and infrastructure.
Plus, there are lots of resources available for NATO SOF partners.
MG Peter Fuller Relieved
Sunday, November 6th, 2011
After leaving PEO Soldier earlier this year, Major General Peter Fuller was assigned to as Deputy Commander for Programs
NATO Training Mission – Afghanistan.
Yesterday, he was relieved of duty by GEN John Allen, commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan, for making what were characterized as “inappropriate public comments†on Thursday to the website Politico. Specifically, MG Fuller referred to the Afghan government as “isolated from reality,†and was critical of Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai.
In a statement of contrition, GEN Allen commented, “These unfortunate comments are neither indicative of our current solid relationship with the government of Afghanistan, its leadership, or our joint commitment to prevail here in Afghanistan…The Afghan people are an honorable people, and comments such as these will not keep us from accomplishing our most critical and shared mission — bringing about a stable, peaceful and prosperous Afghanistan.”
I have to say, I like MG Fuller. Unfortunately, the system eats its own and he will probably be forced into retirement. However, if this happens, I fully expect to see him in industry before long.
