Military officers have frequently been called upon to serve as advisors to foreign officials and to play seminal roles in the political and development realms overseas. In today's Iraq and Afghanistan, the role of the military advisor has expanded greatly, and the relationships established by American officers at the strategic level with local Governors, Cabinet Members and other civilian policymakers are easily as important as any strictly military officer to military officer role. The advisory function traditionally has not been part of military preparation and training, yet the consequences of failure or success on the part of American military advisors are far-reaching for the United States. 606 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xPolitical-military affairs officers$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aMilitary assistance, American$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xOfficers' handbooks 607 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xPolitical-military affairs officers$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 607 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$vOfficers' handbooks 615 0$aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xPolitical-military affairs officers 615 0$aMilitary assistance, American 615 0$aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xOfficers' handbooks. 676 $a355/.0320973 700 $aMetrinko$b Michael J$01151474 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969212003321 996 $aMilitary advisors$94468127 997 $aUNINA
