Command Legacy

A Tactical Primer for Junior Leaders

By: Raymond A. Millen

PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION: "Millen reminds me of Erwin Rommel, George Patton, and Dwight Eisenhower, who also put their concentration as junior officers on the small units." --Stephen E. Ambrose, author of Band of Brothers and Citizen Soldiers "Command Legacy is a first-class primer on company-level command. Wish I'd had a copy when I took over my first company as its skipper. . . . Must reading for pros." --Col. David Hackworth, USA (Ret.), author of About Face "One of the most important soldier's manuals developed in modern Army times." --Lt. Col. Dominic J. Caraccilo, USA, in Military Heritage The burden of fighting wars, large or small, often rests on the soldiers and junior leaders of small infantry units. Command Legacy, the definitive source on small-unit tactics, presents one combat officer's conclusions about how to approach tactical problems and missions and about the links among tactical theory, doctrine, and practice. It is meant to prime junior leaders for tactical operations, team building, and professional development and explains in detail what needs to be done, why, when, and by whom. It attempts to reconcile both what to think and how to think, providing a voice of experience to readers. Newly returned from a tour in Afghanistan, Lt. Col. Raymond Millen has updated the book with fresh information to reflect lessons learned in Iraq and Afghanistan, new equipment, and new methods of counterinsurgency and urban combat. From developing company doctrine, preparing for a mission, and conducting assaults to addressing such concerns of the individual soldier as supply, terrain, and weather, any leader--officer or enlisted--tasked to conduct tactical operations needs this valuable book.

Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration

A Primer for Military Practitioners

By: Raymond A. Millen

Disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) programs represent a major challenge for practitioners because they require meticulous planning, extensive resources, and an extended period of time. While the US military theoretically possesses the organization, planning capacity, resources, and funding to implement DDR, assuming this responsibility unassisted would be an inferior strategy.Implementing DDR is both a security and a confidence-building challenge. Government and rebel forces wish to stop fighting but fear for their safety before disarming and demobilizing. The DDR program creates an environment for former combatants (both insurgent and government forces) to participate freely. Several procedures and control measures are necessary to allay perceived threats to security.A US policy decision to initiate a DDR program reflects its commitment to a country's long-term stability. The amount of effort also evinces the degree of US interest in the concerned country. An effective DDR program serves as the gateway to security sector reform (SSR), which is a long-term program to enhance a country's stability. If DDR falters, SSR is much more difficult to implement.As this primer reveals, DDR programs are difficult, resource demanding, and time intensive. The most important phase-reintegration-is rarely completed due to funding limitations, untapped resources, and time constraints. In terms of expectations and trust, a DDR program has a short window of opportunity for implementation. If the program is disorganized or plagued by delays, DDR participants will likely leave in frustration without the benefit of reintegration. One of the goals of this primer is to suggest ways to optimize available funds, resources, and time.This DDR primer addresses shaping activities prior to implementing a DDR program, to include the prerequisite of a peace agreement in the traditional approach and the all-important public information campaign. The main body of the primer focuses on the planning and implementation of DDR. The primer concludes with the option of a DDR support center for the purpose of increasing coordination, cooperation, and collaboration among stakeholders and the US military.
