Welcome to the One CA Podcast.
Assad Raza is your guest host and is talking with (Ret.) Col. Frank Sobchak.
Frank researched Iraqi and Afghan units that performed well against their adversaries, and what made the difference in training. He discusses the value of speaking the local languages, the ratio of trainers/advisors to troops, and the training consistency.
Assad talks with Frank about his findings.
So, stay tuned.
