We talk about mission and goals in regards to the AMA. I think there is a difference between the two. For example: the mission of the field artillery is to deliver timely and accurate fire in direct support of the infantry. The goal of field artillery is to shoot, move, and communicate. The mission is the desired end result, and the goal is the ability to carry out the mission. Does seeing mission vs goal in this light aid or hinder our thinking about the AMA?
