Evolving doctrine

[Administrator]

While I'm reluctant to too forcefully jump on a captain's good ideas, since Capt. James Alden has taken the time to put his thoughts on paper, I really think he has taken a very thin view of the Army's history ["Eyes wide shut," March]. Yes, in his time in U.S. Special Operations Command, the Army has gone through only one change, and that is from division-centric to Brigade Combat Team-centric. If that's not a huge paradigm shift while the nation is at war, I have a hard time imagining what might satisfy the author.
