Questions and answers

How are advisors assigned to foreign security force functions?

When employing advisors, CCDRs assign advisors to FSF principals (e.g., chief of defense, commander), process owners (e.g., human resource management, doctrine, sustainment, etc.), and SME personnel (e.g., weapon system operator). (paragraph 5)

What should commanders consider when selecting an advisor?

Obviously, availability is a factor in selection, but, more importantly, the advisor must have experience in the subject to be advised, a willingness to do the job, and some training on advising. (paragraph 4)

Does selecting an advisor by rank and military skill identifier guarantee a match?

Selecting by rank and military skill identifier does not guarantee a match; one must consider past assignments as well. (paragraph 4)

What documents are collected as guiding documents for the mission?

Base documents such as the deployment order, mission letters, ROE, country team requirements, and terms of reference are collected as the guiding documents for the mission. (paragraph 2)

What does the final RFF and event list specify?

The final RFF and event list specifies the force structure allowed for the advising mission. (paragraph 4)
