The purpose of the interview was to get MG Burleson’s perspectives on what is required for successful advising at the Ministry of Defense (MOD) and institutional levels for potential use in a Senior Advisor Reference Guide that CALL is developing in coordination with the Ministry of Defense Advisor (MoDA) Program and the Joint Center for International Security Force Assistance. MG Burleson emphasized continuous contact with the Minister of Defense (MinDef) and that understanding the context of the MinDef’s priorities equates to greater appreciation of the MinDef’s overall institutional and operational goals which promotes trust. Among the key advising insights MG Burleson provided, was that contact builds context which in turn builds trust; and, the Partner Nation (PN) Minister's priorities should be the center of gravity in terms of building unity of effort for advising activities
