Delighted to have my article on Mission Command published in the 🇺🇸@ArmyUniversity’s Military Review academic journal. INTERFET was an exemplar in terms of the successful application of #MissionCommand in a multinational force. #leadership #command

Next five down on the pro reading list. Milne is one of the better AFP books I've read in a long, long while. @DavidFitz84 nails the immediate post-Cold War era. And prepping for my spring grad research seminar in history. @PriyaSatia is just superb!! Highly recommend all three.
