Summary:
The target person is a military officer who had been or is now on
station in the area described in session #1. He is in his 50's,
has a large nose, thick hands, is big-boned, stocky, not tall,
strong (almost brutish) , psychologically tough, has streaked
(black-grey) , combed back hair, furrowed brow, does not like to
wear a hat, wears a tan uniform (like khakis); he appears to be a
Soviet general officer.
The next up in this man's chain of
command seem to be civilians, but this arrangement may be only
temporary for purposes of accomplishing some specific or general
mission.
Impression of a "foreign" but politically-controlled
environment. The man is an exceptionally professional military
leader -- but more comfortable in the tactical vs strategic arena.
He is not a political animal, does not like to be near the "head
shed".
He is a loner, he has no soft spots; military business is
his only business -- it is his milieu, he does not engage in small
talk. He is beyond the concept of self-confidence, but not
careless -- only concerned that the job gets done right. He is an
imposing figure (not so much physically), but his lieutenants
trust his experience and savvy. He spends most of his time in
the field but his presence is accepted by lower echelons (peers
do not seem to be present); however, he does not participate in
engagements, but is kept constantly apprised of dispositions,
etc. This man's focus is upon the hilly/mountainous area
directly to the west, where an operation is either ongoing or
imminent. At least once in the past, he has flown over the
eastern part of the area on what seems to have been a
reconnaissance. There is a problem associated with this area
akin to a "thorn in ones side" (AOL-rebels).
The problem
requires analysis/planning and action.
AI:
Although this man would be a demanding superior, and
probably not pleasant to be around, I would volunteer to serve
with him without hesitation -- he is my type of leader.
