Change for Mission's Sake

Abstract

This paper describes personal experiences, key events and lessons learned during assignment to the 75th Ranger Regiment. It specifically discusses and debates established roles within Army SOF and highlights repercussions in Operation Desert Storm. It is not particular to operational lessons learned in a traditional manner but rather how forces could or should evolve to meet their requirements. I focused on preconceived roles, reluctance in adaptation and use of the Battle Focused Analysis to evolve to meet the mission.
