Not a very accurate article. I know this from first hand experience in country. We tracked this very well and assisted at times. The effectiveness is debatable with several factors contributing to the outcome.
The very brief but interesting comments indicate the system was deployed. Its deployment being ‘tracked’ at staff echelon level. ‘Effectiveness is debatable’ is a damning comment. This is a currently serving officer who is going to be very judicious in choosing his words to protect his career.
Does anyone in Freep land know how this system was supposed to work and are willing to discuss it and discuss its problems?
I agree w/ your #7 assessment.
You might want to ping others about it.
