• W906697561 abstract "One Hundred Victories: Special Ops & the Future of American Warfare By Linda Robinson New York: Public Affairs, 2013 416 pages $28.99 [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Do not pick up this book unless you are looking for a general overview of US Army Special Forces conducting basic Foreign Internal Defense (FID) in Afghanistan. While an easy read with some entertaining stories, the book omits way too much to be of use to serious students of irregular warfare. One Hundred Victories presents two main points as it spins the story of the successes, failures and challenges of Green Beret Village Stability Operations and Afghan Local Police Development (VSO/ALP). The author's first proposition is that after Special Operations Forces' (SOF) initial catastrophic successes in Afghanistan, leadership failed to articulate a solid game plan to stabilize Afghanistan. Despite having the training, doctrine, and experience to do so, it allowed conventional forces, and itself, to focus on combat ops when Foreign Internal Defense and capacity building should have been the strategy. After years of chasing targets, in 2009-2010 the Army's Special Forces finally remembered their way and led the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) effort to build security capacity via VSO/ALP. In this endeavor, they fought against not only the Taliban, but also conventional units and senior leadership. Robinson's second main idea is that a key reason for failures in Afghanistan was SOF's lack of a staffed, theater-level command capable of interfacing with its own and conventional units. Unable to channel the power of its mature, experienced and intelligent personnel, could not seize the initial opportunity to shape Afghanistan's strategy and this mistake hampered special operations throughout the war. This second proposition has merit, but Robinson fails to articulate why preferred to fight by SOF tribe rather than as a comprehensive whole, and tries to convince the reader the only relevant mission is Foreign Internal Defense. By only telling 1/11th of the story (there are eleven critical activities), she misrepresents the challenges and complications of establishing a true unified headquarters. Her slant towards Green Berets, and their primary mission, is evident and prevents the reader from gaining a full understanding of the vignettes she uses throughout the book. …" @default.
