I found this link to Gunner20 from Sgt. Stryker. This is an interesting little tale of American military superiority. In part: They didn't integrate their commands very well much above platoon level. They may be individually brave or devoted to their cause, but large-unit operations are difficult and take practice, practice, practice, which al Qaeda probably has never done and I guarantee has never done in a force-on-force training exercise remotely resembling what the US Army does all the time at the National Training Center in California. This lack of training and capability was fatal when fighting the US Army, Air Force and Navy/Marines, which are superbly equipped and have been practicing fully integrated, combined-arms, joint-service operations for decades. There is little evidence in the Anaconda battle that al Qaeda had anything like effective tactical staff operations. They did not learn from their mistakes; for example, they continued to congregate when experience should have showed them that American wide-area weapons would simply destroy them. |
