Years ago, when I first stumbled upon Doctrine Man, his witty comments inspired the team during our journey to a faraway land, as we suffered through countless inventories and endless PowerPoint trauma in a deployment devoid of wartime rules of accountability and teeming with storyboards. Those times were remarkable, but paled in comparison to time in the mythical land of TRADOCia, where I discovered the pinnacle of mission command, education, and development of our future leaders. It is also where Doctrine Man reigns in relative anonymity, thriving in ambiguity (or “plain sight” as I soon learned): a requirement described throughout the Army’s Human Dimension White Paper that Tom Ricks critiqued and Doctrine Man defended recently as both valuable and necessary.
