JOINT SPECIAL OPERATIONS UNIVERSITY
The SOF advisory role is a long-term commitment to help enable
and aid other nations improve their military forces and security. SOF
advisors have traditionally operated at the tactical level to increase
partner capabilities ‘by, with and through’ to generate sucient rule
of law, address local needs, and advance rapport building. Mr. White
advocates for a SOF role in advising foreign militaries at the high
operational/strategic and ministerial levels. He provides real world
examples through four vignettes of SOF advisors in Afghanistan,
Iraq, Colombia, and the Philippines. This monograph is a handy
resource for commanders and planners needing to establish a rap-
port with allies and friends at the highest operational/strategic and
ministerial levels.
