摘要

Some political commentators state that the United States lacks experience in fighting an insurgency. However, they and other Americans have forgotten that the United States experienced insurgencies throughout the 19th century and managed to defeat them. The U.S. Army waged wars against Native American tribes, including an important war against the Apache Indians. The Apache Wars demonstrate the importance of understanding the insurgents' cultural mindset and how it manifests itself in their tactics. U.S. forces at the time used Apache scouts to better understand the enemy, and U.S. forces today should again use cultural advisors to help defeat the insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Army has already begun to create Military Transition Teams (MTTs) to train and supplement Iraqi Army units. MTTs enable the Iraqi Army to build its professionalism, and they enable U.S. soldiers to gain insight into how both friendly and enemy Iraqis think. However, the U.S. Army must go beyond using MTTs to defeat insurgents. While MTTs expose Iraqis to U.S. culture, they expose very few U.S. soldiers to Iraqi culture. To exploit the local culture, U.S. Army units need cultural advisors from the host nation who can help in intelligence and operations planning. The ideal candidate for a cultural advisor would have close connections to the local community and would share a similar background with them. Because of force protection concerns, however, the cultural advisor would need to be thoroughly vetted by U.S. forces. The U.S. commander would meet with local leaders to ask them to recommend advisors. U.S. forces would also vet the local leaders to ensure that they did not have ulterior motives for their recommendations. The most useful host nation advisors would be persons who once fought against U.S. forces as insurgents.
