In 2019, US Army senior leaders urgently needed an organization to work with its partners and allies to meet White House-directed national security objectives. Green Light Go! provides a behind-the-scenes look at how the 5th Security Force Assistance Brigade (SFAB) formed and developed into this essential organization, eventually venturing off to the steppes of Mongolia, the humid jungles of Indonesia and the Philippines, and the pristine beaches of the Maldives. National security practitioners, leadership development professionals, and contemporary historians will be fascinated by these insights into the inner workings of a nascent Army organization as unit members navigate through complex obstacles. Never before has such an unlikely group been able to accomplish so much in a short time frame while capturing the essence of entrepreneurship.

"""Like a pioneering start-up company, the US Army's SFAB epitomizes the spirit of innovation, resilience, and adaptability by introducing a new service to the marketplace and revolutionizing the way the Army assists and trains partner nations."" -Chris Curry, CEO of Peak+ ""Having the honor to help stand up, man, train, and equip one of the most consequential units of our time was the highlight of my professional life. The men and women of the 5th SFAB will always live in my heart as the absolute best of our conventional force. America can rest assured that the Vanguard BDE will always be forward, and always be relevant!"" -Robert T. Craven, former CSM 5th Security Force Assistance Brigade (SFAB)"
