OnPoint: United States Army in Operation Iraqi Freedom
"On Point is a study of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF) as soon after the fact as feasible. The Army leadership chartered this effort in a message to the major commands on 30 April 2003. In his guidance, Army Chief of Staff General Eric K. Shinseki directed 'a quick, thorough review that looks at the US Army's performance, assesses the role it played in the joint and coalition team, and captures the strategic, operational, and tactical lessons that should be disseminated and applied in future fights.' For those of us in the Operation IRAQI FREEDOM Study Group (OIF-SG), this translated into three separate products. A 'quick look' lessons-learned briefing produced in July, less than 30 days after returning from the theater. On Point--this work--is the second product and was largely completed by mid-August 2003. Finally, the most significant product is the archive of 119,000 documents, some 2,300 interviews and 69,000 photos archived with the support and assistance of the Combined Arms Research Library at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas."

Seeing Red: Creating a Red-Team Capability for the Blue Force
"The complexity of today's operational environment (OE) requires Army leaders to see through multiple lenses. Ambiguous, nontraditional adversaries seek new means to destroy, disrupt, or just outwait us. Events in Operation Iraqi Freedom and in Afghanistan have unmistakably confirmed the OE's dynamic nature. Every day our adversaries rapidly adapt, requiring us to reassess how they think about themselves, their environment, and us. In addition to continuous reappraisal of the operational environment, the Army should examine its processes, structures, and practices. Because adversaries adapt to invalidate our techniques, we must guard against core competencies becoming core rigidities. […] the Army is examining how to understand, anticipate, and manage change. In addition to learning how to do things better, we must learn to ask: What is the next right thing to do? Red teaming, a structured and iterative process executed by trained, educated, and practiced team members with access to relevant subject matter expertise, is uniquely suited to this kind of critical analysis. Red teaming provides the commander with an independent capability to continuously challenge OE concepts, plans, and operations from partner and adversary perspectives."
