"From the standpoint of
America's national security, the most important assignment in
your military career may not necessarily be commanding U.S.
Soldiers, but advising or mentoring the troops of other nations
as they battle
the forces of terror and instability within their own borders."
The above quote from U.S. Secretary of
Defense Robert Gates
addressing the Cadets at West Point in 2008.
Throughout the course of history the United States military has conducted advising and training missions around the world. This includes advisors and advisor teams being deployed during times of peace as well as during wartime.
Current 'advisor' terminology used by the United States military include Foreign Internal Defense (FID) and Security Force Assistance (SFA). There are multiple terms for advising to include 'advising', 'train, advise, and assist', 'train, advise, assist, and enable', 'combat FID', and 'combat advisor'.
