A good overview of VSO and the application of UW techniques in a FID mission. Something I feel we have fallen short of emphasizing with our guys downrange. I don't see doing IPB for VSO, when you don't have a "standing Army or Military." I'm see in Irregular Warfare you doing more of the JIPOE style of preparation of what you're going into.
