Mancuso was credited with developing the modern Security Forces Assistance Advisory Team (SFA AT) concept, implementing the "Clark Protocol" which stipulated embedded mentors in a "by, with and through" method of combat advising. This revolutionary model introduced such techniques such as allowing local national cultural advisors to serve in command authority of entire ISAF Combat Outposts and owning operating environments with field grade officer authority.

Famous quotes containing the word notable:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
