Some loose ends:

• Appendices B-F for the Political Officer as Counter-Insurgent are still pending publication, as noted in the article.
• Maybe we’ll sexy the finished volume up with some pictures, maybe not. If we do, we’ll post the revised edition online and will make a note of it.
• We have many great articles hanging fire for publication. As we move to double digits for the next volume, we will now publish new articles one-at-a-time, when ready, online. We’ll still put out volumes, but they’ll be recaps +/- extras. Expect to see this change soon, along with some more new material. This new method will remove one of our several bottlenecks.
