Conventional forces in the unconventional fight.

[Patriot]

Is there a role for conventional forces in an unconventional fight? This is a topic I've been pondering since the end of phase one of OIF. Seems that the learning curve was long, and it took awhile for conventional leaders to change their mindset and they still have a long way to go IMO. Granted, that circumstances forced this upon them and the COIN FM is in it's final phase of being written so hopefully they'll become more proficient soon. I'd like to hear the opinion of those in the SF community. What in their opinion do conventional forces need to do in order to assist in unconventional fight, if anything? I'm not trying to compare apples to oranges here, it is a given the UW is the specialty of SF and that conventional forces will never, nor should they even attempt to achieve the expertise or capabilities of SF. But what role should they play? What tasks could the perform that might assist SF? It would be especially enlightening to hear the perspective of those who are already experts in the UW arena.
