June 22nd, the Washington Post ran an excellent article by Greg Jaffe, titled “A Personal Touch in Taliban Fight.” The piece is about a young Army captain, Michael<br/><a href="http://agora.stevenpressfield.com/2010/01/gifts-of-honor-a-tale-of-two-captains/">More >></a>]]></description>

[The blog is "on the road" this week, so I'm going to re-run last week's One Tribe At A Time post.  I actually wanted to do this anyway, just because it produced so many interesting comments and questions.  We'll have the full free downloadable .pdf of Maj.

Last week in our first excerpt from Special Forces Major Jim Gant&#8217;s paper, &#8220;One Tribe At A Time,&#8221; Maj. Gant laid out the concept for a specialized type of American unit&#8211;a Tribal Engagement Team. Such teams would be small, highly trained and motivated, and granted broad latitude in the means of pursuing their mission.

The thoughts and I ideas that I will put forward in this paper are mine alone. Although I credit the U.S. Army Special Forces for the training I have received and the trust of [its] commanders, nothing in this paper reflects any other person&#8217;s or organization&#8217;s ideas.

This is the opening author&#8217;s note from Maj. Jim Gant&#8217;s<br/><a href="http://agora.stevenpressfield.com/2009/09/one-tribe-at-a-time-1/">More >></a>]]></description>

They say that every enterprise, from D-Day to a kitchen remodel, takes three times as long as you think and costs three times as much. I must apologize: our two new series have run afoul of this same syndrome. Here&#8217;s the latest:
We will launch, for sure, next Friday, with a reconfigured site.

Three items will be coming up this week (and in the following weeks) in this space that I think will be extremely interesting and provocative. I can say that with confidence because none of them will be coming from me.

A week ago I ran a post about two young Army captains—Jim Gant and Michael Harrison—who served in the same valley in Konar province, Afghanistan.  Their service was six years apart, yet the two were linked by their bonds with a tribal chief named Noorafzhal and by a gift of honor—a shotgun that Capt.

First, many thanks to all correspondents and contributors for the tremendous and very thoughtful response  to the previous post, “A Tale of Two Captains.” More to come in a couple of days about Capt. Harrison’s work, including an update dispatch from him in Konar.
But first, here’s a strikingly apt flashback to 2006—when Army Times journalist<br/><a href="http://www.stevenpressfield.com/2009/06/a-c-span-hour-with-sean-naylor/">More >></a>]]></description>
