Holden will follow father's lead Royal midfielder selects West Point, Army after college By Paul Shepherd / Star correspondent Posted: September 25, 2008 Olivia Holden never sought this out. The Hamilton Southeastern High School senior grew up on military bases. Her father, Col. Christopher Holden, was a 1983 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and served nearly a quarter-century in the Army until recently retiring. Following in her father's footsteps was never in Holden's plans until this summer when Army assistant coach Stefanie Golan expressed interest in Holden while scouting a soccer tournament in Nashville. She quickly emerged as one of Golan's top recruits. |

By YOCHI J. DREAZEN ( Wall Street Journal) WASHINGTON -- The Pentagon is setting up a unit of about 400 officers and senior enlisted personnel devoted to Afghanistan, continuing a broad revamp of how it handles the war there. The Pakistan Afghanistan Coordination Cell is the creation of Lt. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the Obama administration's nominee to run the Afghan war. Gen. McChrystal says he wants military personnel to accumulate expertise about the war by doing repeated deployments to Afghanistan and continuing to work on the conflict when back in the U.S. The unit will be headed by Brig. Gen. Scott Miller, a veteran of the military's secretive Special Operations community, who worked for Gen. McChrystal at the Pentagon. The unit is meant to develop personnel with extensive counterinsurgency experience and knowledge of Afghanistan's culture and power structures. |
