On the way out of Afghanistan ?

The U.S. Army on Friday announced that it will shutter the Asymmetric Warfare Group and the Rapid Equipping Force, two organizations created to speed information and gear to troops fighting insurgents and adversaries in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The service established the Asymmetric Warfare Group, or ASG, in 2006 out of Fort Meade in Maryland to “rapidly transfer current threat-based observations and solutions (TTPs) to tactical and operational Army commanders in order to defeat emerging asymmetric threats,” according to the group’s website. An operational unit of Training and Doctrine Command, AWG was seen as a means to quickly get intelligence about rapidly-changing insurgent tactics and weapons to soldiers downrange, at the “operational point of need.”
