    Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala. – Air University Press released No Moment of Victory: The NATO Training Mission in Afghanistan, 2009–2011; Good Outfit: The 803rd Engineer Battalion and the Defense of the Philippines, 1941–1942; and Fairchild Paper Medical Support in a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Contested Environment In No Moment of Victory, authors Martin Loicano and Craig C. Felker examine NATO coalition efforts to build Afghan Army and police forces with the objective of transitioning the war to Afghan control. As NATO Training Mission–Afghanistan historians, Loicano and Felker documented how NTM-A grew from a handful of senior officers and enlisted personnel to over 6,000 coalition members training Afghans across the country. Yet there was also a deep historical underpinning to the command’s programs and processes. This book examines the influence of Cold War modernization theory on NTM-A from 2009 to 2011 and offers a cautionary account of the limits of Western military practices and culture in security force assistance.
