"I want to pull on another thread referencing our current risk averse culture. Leaders spend decades getting a chance to command at brigade level or above. Under the current model risk is not rewarded it is derided. Think about what that does to a commander's audacity Risk assessments safety briefs mandatory training for things gone wrong; all of that translates to battlefield actions. And it makes us timid under the current model of promotion and advancement. We spend so much time trying to avoid catastrophic risk. So what do you think happens when we experience catastrophic success on the"

"A simple ode to mechanics. I love these Soldiers. True unsung heroes of what we do. It's time to make them unsung no more👇 In cold that bites in heat that sears They toil through nights through sweat and tears. When all stand still when others sleep They wrench and grind their watch to keep. The tanks that rumble fierce and grim Roll forth alive because of them. The trucks that haul the birds that soar Move by their hands their craft their lore. Their palms are cracked their garb defiled Exhaustion weighs each burdened child. Yet still they rise no end in sight For duty calls through day and"

So now the results arent to the liking of certain generals so they can just.remove their branches from competition So the rest of us have to compete to get promoted but they dont They can just be nominated Seems really fair 🙄. @SecArmy are we getting the point across yet You didnt make this abomination but you can stop it sir. Dont trust the process. Just wield the axe youve been given and REMOVE CAP. Your predecessor made this program official as part of one of the last things she did before"

Our task was tasked to plus up the area and turn it into a battalion sized FOB with a beefed up presence in the area. The Taliban were crawling around the battlespace.

When I was the XO of the Infantry Basic Officer Leader Course a few years back I worked with a British Sergeant Major from the Royal Irish Regiment. We did live fires with the students and noticed they had zero aggression. We got to talking about why and quickly came to the conclusion that they never did anything in the course to breed violence. So we worked to bring back the bayonet and put it in the course. The aggression gained ended up translating positively into everything they did. Even menial tasks that didn't require"

"Before I go to work I want to talk about the way we approach tactical warfare. The Army trains for maneuver so much that it treats it like a hammermeaning every problem must be a nail. We dont really teach positional warfare defense in depth or prolonged fights because they dont fit the maneuver gospel. Then we wonder why we struggle in scenarios that dont involve rapid advances across open terrain. Maneuver is our bread and butter. It's where we are most comfortable. Our entire doctrine is based on it. The problem Every tactical solution we come up with usually leads to guaranteed direct"

You put all that effort in to excel at your craft then get out to the field on a big mission and the overall battle plan isnt any good. Think about how many times you qualified on your weapon this year. Now ask how many times a field grade officer has qualified in maneuvering you and your units. There is no qualification for that.

During the whole event he was surrounded by his team. Most of them were civilian advisors/lawyers. Ive seen this similar scenario play out time and time again. Each time I get filled with sadness and rage simultaneously. This general along with just about any other Ive seen in a high stress situation was emaciated. Crippled by a career of risk aversion. Crippled by the fear of making the wrong decision. Its not his fault. I blame the system"
