What does a Commander's strategic advisory team do?

A Commander's strategic advisory team is responsible for providing strategic advice and guidance to their commander. This team is typically composed of experienced individuals from various backgrounds and disciplines, such as military, diplomacy, law and intelligence. The team has three primary objectives:

• Provide strategic, operational and tactical guidance
• Analyze and assess current and potential threats
• Develop strategies to address and mitigate threats

The team also provides a sounding board for the commander to discuss ideas and plans, and provides research and analysis on the issues. They may also provide briefings to senior leaders and staff, and provide advice and recommendations to the commander on various matters.
