The Army announced<\/a> Thursday that it will devote 3,000 troops to the creation of six new brigades dedicated entirely to the training of foreign forces. Called Security Force Assistance Brigades, these new units will actually be battalion size in personnel strength yet organized as brigade combat teams stripped of their lower ranks and staffed for the most part by officers and more senior NCO\u2019s. It will be the foreign forces making up those lower ranks when these SFAB\u2019s are functioning as intended. A new Military Advisor Training Academy is being established at Fort Benning to train the members of the SFAB\u2019s for their missions. <\/p>\n

This is a major break from the traditional use of Army combat units being assigned to part-time missions for training foreign forces, an unneeded distraction from their readiness preparation for their primary missions. The Army says a further advantage to this concept is that should the country need new brigade combat teams on the quick, the lower ranks of these brigades could be fleshed out with American privates and specialists who could be quickly molded into a fighting force without needing to dog-rob existing BCT\u2019s for leaders and cadre, the hardest personnel to come by when standing up a new combat arms unit.
\nThis is a smart move as Ol\u2019 Poe sees it but with the catch being that it is imperative to keep rotating fresh combat experienced NCO\u2019s in and rotating the old trainers back into ready units to keep the edges sharp on the trainers themselves. <\/p>\n
