<x-charset iso-8859-1>Ms. Valentine,

Your e-mail message about the Sept. 10, 2001 Washington Times' article was
forwarded to me for reply.  The Times' article was somewhat misleading
because the reporter failed to make clear that the "Army study" was actually
an academic exercise.  There are about 50 student officers in the School of
Advanced Military Studies here.  For their first exercise of the academic
year last August, the students were assigned a project to prepare a
presentation about a complex contingency situation.   The exercise was based
on the mission the Army received in 1995 regarding the Dayton Peace Accords
in Bosnia - the students were required to develop a plan for deploying
several different units to a trouble spot (the Middel East) and implementing
peace accords.  The project was purely an academic planning exercise -- not
a plan for the Army.  

The student quotes in the article were from one of the student presentations
(there were four different presentations) to their instructor.
