Advising at the senior level.
Advising at the Senior Level offers advisors at senior or ministerial levels a perspective on operating more efficiently with international governments, ministries of defense, embassies, and foreign security forces. It bridges gaps in expertise when advising at the ministerial level through insights and best practices -- highlighting what senior advisors do, how the operational environment differs, and describing how to integrate through the processes of the Department of Defense, Department of State, and the partner nation. Our purpose is to provide key insights and best practices for senior advisors in a convenient reference that enables their work at the ministry, department, and component levels. The insights in this handbook are applicable down to the tactical level and should be shared widely.
TOC: Introduction; reviewing the fundamentals: enhancing advisor effectiveness; understanding the operational environment of a senior advisor; institutional capacity building; senior advisor insights; end notes; acronyms and abbreviations; terms and definitions; advisor checklist; advising references
Bloodhound package : tactical-level multinational interoperability during Operations Resolute Support and Freedom's Sentinel.
The Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) embedded with the 264th Engineer Clearance Company (Spartans) and gained lessons learned during their operations in support of Operations Resolute Support and Freedom’s Sentinel.

This article focuses on these key topics: The role of U.S. forces as an enabler to coalition forces ground commanders, lessons learned during deliberate and dynamic route clearance packages, and multinational interoperability at the platoon level and below
Armored encirclement of the Ruhr.
This study was directed toward portraying the actions of armor in the conduct of a strategic double envelopment. The material available for consideration, and the time allotted did not permit a complete study of all the armored divisions which took part in the establishment of the bridgeheads and in the final reduction of the pocket. With that in mind, the study was limited to a consideration of the two armored divisions which constituted the encircling forces.
