How well were you able to leverage automation and the internet to scale the effectiveness of your mission?
- csa 5y agoNot op, and I don’t know his answer, but… The most interesting stuff falls into the “almost!” category.
- giantg2 5y agoHaha you can ask it. You just might get a non-answer answer.
- boston_clone 5y agoTruthfully, almost no benefit at all, although I've been out of the military for some time now. Obviously there are military networks (e.g. SIPRNET) used to transmit resources / info between units and locations, but that's about the extent of it. My experiences in Afghanistan were almost entirely on-ground, working directly with local village leaders and OGAs (i.e. other governmental organizations, such as USAID). Perhaps unsurprisingly, direct communication with people provides the best avenue for learning / sharing / influencing. Most of the media we disseminated (whether print or radio) was purpose-made for various objectives like decreasing the prevalence of IEDs.
