Major Hat Tip to THINKDEFENCE for the vid.
The US Army has a problem and I have the solution. How do they become relevant in the Pacific? First they accept the fact that they will not be the primary force. Second, they revitalize the 82nd Airborne and Light Infantry. If they want to get forces to the scene fast then they won't be traveling with Strykers. Last, they understand that in the event of major, sustained land action (whether hostile or humanitarian) they will be primarily facing a logistics operation. That's where the video is so instructive. JLOTS 2008 pointed the way. There is no need for the Army to reinvent the wheel. Just follow the playbook they've already established!
