Great breakdown on the final stages of the Battle of Mosul by the commander of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division that was there to assist the Iraqi government forces. It's a real eye opener on how an American advising mission works and the challenges that the Iraqis faced.
Wow, that was absolutely fascinating to watch. The information on the battle itself was great, but his advice for how to cooperate in a coalition was amazing- hearing him break down the concerns and viewpoints from the Iraqi military leadership was some good stuff.
Honestly I'd recommend this to just about everyone because not only does it talk about an important battle in recent history, the lessons overall about cooperation and advising could be used in any situation- not just the theater of warfare.
