Yesterday, at the invitation of the USA / USMC Counterinsurgency Center, Small Wars Journal participated in their monthly online integration meeting. The purpose of these meetings is to update the counterinsurgency community of interest on the latest developments in COIN education and training across the force, coordinate actions between the field, schoolhouse, and centers and exchange best practices. Participants included organizations throughout the Department of Defense - CONUS and "in country".

We were asked to address one question - how can SWJ assist the COIN community? This 8-slide brief outlines our thoughts on this subject.

Thanks Ray.

It was a pleasure briefing and kudos go to the COIN Center for being very proactive and inclusive - they are doing their damnest in pursuit of COIN best practices and information sharing.

For the record - Bill was the wordsmith - I was merely the "talking head" at the DCO.

Great presentation and great work! I love the commentary about closing the gap of 5,000 miles and 100 yards, and the differing forums for each.
