FLEXIBILITY KEY TO TOPPLING KILLERS: GEN. RICHARD B. MYERS
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
"’The transformation of the United States military (today) is to get us ready for what’s around the next corner,’ said Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers. ‘And this is difficult, because we don’t know what’s around the next corner,’" reported American Forces Press Service Jim Garamone.
Gen. Myers was accenting the fact that relying on past modes won’t work in fighting murderers global. Flexibility is absolutely necessary to confront tomorrow’s challenges. Therefore, all minds on deck is best. Imaginative efforts 24 / 7 is imperative. And flexibility that matches the day-to-day confrontations is top item.
"’We know that the forces we came out of the last century with are not the forces we need today, or probably the forces we will need in the future,’" Gen. Myers underlined.
Relying on past expertise is only helpful to the degree that it sharpens new methodologies against the next terrorist move. Never content with status quo, but scoping out the innovative is absolutely necessary if America and allies win against killers international.
"In Afghanistan, innovative ways of using air power and special operations forces embedded with indigenous forces were the key to defeating al Qaeda and the Taliban. Around 20,000 U.S. servicemembers continue to provide support to the Afghan government and to hunt al Qaeda and Taliban remnants in some of the most forbidding terrain in the world," Garamone reports.
Back to the drawing boards. Never leaving the drawing boards. Revamping the drawing boards. That’s the modus operandi if the US-led Coalitions worldwide succeed in wiping the slate clean of terrorists. Because killers international themselves are innovative on the macabre side in striking when least expected, where least expected, peacemaking forces must be just as sharp and yet more so.
Concerning conflict on the field, Gen. Myers stated that "’we need to put efforts into command and control and link all players on the battlefield so information flows seamlessly between soldiers in foxholes and airplanes and tanks and ships and air defenses.’"
What kind of planning corps is necessary in order to program victory? What kind of personnel is needed to position against the enemy so as to win out? Gen. Myers states that nothing but the creative best — from lowest to highest ranks — is crucial.
"’We need people who say "I understand what the doctrine says, but the situation we’re confronting is quite a bit different, and here’s what I think we ought to do," Gen. Myers said. "Most of this transformation will be cultural and will happen between our ears.’"
