520			_aDiscusses Operation Herrick which is said to be the most intense extended engagement for British forces since the Korean War. The UK approach has been to run the campaign from dispersed forward operating bases rather than working out from a single location. One consequence of this has been a high level of tactical battles which though usually individually successful have not produced ..."the lasting dominance over any particular area necessary to neutralize Taleban influence there". Despite this the approach appears to be continuing. The article considers how this reflects British military doctrine and officer training, and questions whether it is the right approach.
