  and procedures required to protect the HN from subversion, lawlessness, and insurgency, and develop
  indigenous individual, leader, organizational skills. Advisor units can be internally or externally resourced.
  Internally resourced advisor teams are created from the partner unit when they are required to establish
  them on their own. Externally resourced teams are usually DA resourced for the duration of the advisor
  team mission. One way of organizing for this role is to have an eleven person team with clearly divided
  responsibilities. Each person's duties should reflect his responsibilities to the internal team, and to advising
  their HN security force counterpart. In certain situations, the partner unit commander might need to provide
  a security element to support an advisor team. This security element might need to be large enough
  to guard a compound on an HN security force base and to crew several vehicles. A ten-person security
  element has proved be useful in Iraq and Afghanistan. Figure 8-4 shows possible duties on the advisor
  team.

  DEVELOPING HN SECURITY FORCES
  8-22. The mission to develop HN security forces at all levels can be organized around seven tasks—
  measure (assess), organize, rebuild/build facilities, train, equip, advise, and mentor. The memory aid
  MORTEAM can help partner units and advisors. These tasks incorporate all doctrine, organization,
  training, material, leadership and education, personnel and facilities (DOTMLPF) requirements
  for developing the HN security forces. Although described sequentially, these tasks are normally
  performed concurrently. For example, training and equipping operations must be integrated and, as the
  operation progresses, assessments will lead to changes. If US forces are directly involved in operations
  against insurgents, the development program requires a transition period during which major COIN
  operations are handed over to HN security forces. Figure 8-5 shows the seven framework tasks as an
  iterative and cyclical process, in which both advisor teams and partner units measure and mentor HN
  security force units at each step.
