The Military Advisor Training Academy provided 1BCT leaders on the skills needed to effectively advise counterparts in support of operations in Afghanistan. Through a combination of Functional based SFA, advisement training, and practical exercises in interpersonal communication; leaders were able to better understand their role while serving as an Advisor. The training culminated with Key Leader Engagements with leaders focused on engagements with Host Nation Security Forces (HNSF) role players.
