CommandPosts.com, an excellent web blog on military history, posted a piece I wrote on the historical precedents for deploying U.S. forces to train/advise indigenous forces hunting an individual.
By my count, Joseph Kony is officially the twelfth target of a U.S. strategic manhunt, although I argue that the campaigns targeting Che Guevara and Pablo Escobar are better precedents for this operation than Task Force Ranger's hunt for Muhammad Farah Aideed.
