He was at 73 Easting in GW1 and now he's CO of 3rd ACR. Very nice. Very nice indeed. Well, he's earned it. I can't find any particular flaws in his CI plan, though it may "take too long", especially from a politician's standpoint. They like perfect yet quickly executed without any blowback to them when things go down the tubes. McMaster is climbing the ladder. He was at 73 Easting in GW1 and now he’s CO of 3rd ACR. Very nice.

I just saw a BBC headline about a group in Nigeria that is threating oil prodution, and that matches exactly what he was talking aout. seems like McMaster should be getting a promotion, the #rd ACR seems to be taking care of things in Tel Afar. Lets hope others take notes on what he has done. I like that Global Gurellia guy, boy is he smart.

And isn't it more commonly romanized as "Tal Afar" rather than "Tall Afar"? Or is it a different city that the 3rd Cav is in?
