Most of these officers are headed to Iraq or Afghanistan, and the curriculum has been revised to include intensive language courses in Arabic and Pashtu, the history and culture of Islam, a hefty dose of counterinsurgency strategy and tactics, plus the standard military disciplines.

...play. With perennial powerhouse Columbia looming to take back the title, the squad will have to perform beyond its ability to meet the challenge. “We work very hard when they come back,” Brand said. “They are going to get a dose of what I call reality, but they’re prepared for it.
