𝗦𝘄𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 🎉 Looking back, I remember the year 2000 when I had the unique opportunity to join the "Army XXI" team, where our mission was to envision the future of the Swiss Armed Forces. My task was to develop the concept for creating a new Special Forces unit and to integrate its key elements into other areas, including doctrine, defense, support to civilian authorities, peace support, and training. One of the most rewarding challenges was implementing this concept from scratch. My journey started with assembling a core team of top-notch instructors and setting the requirements for state-of-the-art equipment. We looked for the ideal location to establish what would eventually become the Army Reconnaissance Detachment 10. The summer of 2002 was a pivotal moment when we kicked off a one-year training program with the cadre. It was a time of intense learning and growth, as we mastered new techniques, developed tactics, and refined our procedures. We were fortunate to learn not only from the experts within our team but also from international specialists and foreign training programs. In parallel, we rigorously tested new weapons and gear to ensure we were equipping our unit with the best tools possible. After that initial phase, We focused our efforts on creating the selection process and designing the Basic Operators Course, before opening the doors to aspiring candidates. By 2004, our vision became a reality as we officially inaugurated the Army Reconnaissance Detachment 10, marking the beginning of its development as a strong and capable force. Now, two decades later, the Army Reconnaissance Detachment 10 has evolved into a well-established unit, with valuable operational experience across diverse missions and environments. It’s incredible to see how far we’ve come, and I’m filled with pride knowing that I played a part in this remarkable journey. Happy 20th anniversary to the Army Reconnaissance Detachment 10! Here's to many more years of excellence and service! #SwissSpecialForces #20YearsStrong #ArmyReconnaissanceDetachment10 #ProudMoment #Defense #SpecialForces #Leadership #Teamwork #OperationalExcellence #MilitaryTraining #AnniversaryCelebration #SwissArmedForces #SecurityAndDefense #CelebratingSuccess

In the last 30 years, the U.S. military has undergone remarkable transformations in its medical logistics operations. Check out this insightful article in the Marine Corps Gazette by Medical Logistics Company Commander (1st Supply Battalion, 1st MLG, I MEF) Jonathan Fowler and Tagup's Rory Polera, highlighting how #MachineLearning is taking medical logistics to new heights, enabling smarter decision-making and optimizing supply chain efficiency. From forecasting demand to dynamic inventory management, the potential for #AI in military logistics is limitless. https://lnkd.in/e3Y5zmNM #MedicalLogistics #SupplyChainInnovation #ML #MilitaryReadiness 🛠️📈 Marine Corps Association

Steven Gambichler & I were laughing the other day that nobody wants to play Call-of-Duty: Logistics. After Admin or #Finance, I find #Logistics to be the most boring possible topic in the #Military & I can’t imagine why anyone willfully joins the US Army to do logistics when there’s so many more interesting things to do. That being said, despite being incredibly boring to me, logistics is also the foundation for everything else. #Leaders ignore logistics at their peril. Luckily for military managers, there’s pretty much no consequences in the #Army for mission failure or incompetence. I’d never say that I can fluently speak logistics, but I like to think I can understand what’s being said when people are speaking logistics. So when there’s no warm & fuzzy on the boring details of how the right things will appear at the right time at the right place, I start getting antsy.

The attached article is a 57th posting of an extension by the author of the leadership vignette series published by the Royal Military College Club then the Royal Military Colleges of Canada Alumni Association in the Club’s and Association’s “e-Veritas” publication from 21 August 2016 to 15 November 2021. The initial series and four preceding articles would ultimately consist of 195 articles and vignettes. The extension is made by permission of the current "e-Veritas" editor and compliments a reprise of the previously published and Linkedin posted "e-Veritas" leadership vignette series that, due to server issues, was reposted in PDF form on Linkedin starting at the end of 2021. The original series is again partially available at the Royal Military Colleges Alumni Association's website at the "e-Veritas" section in the reconstituted archive of issues section. All 195 articles/vignettes and following extension articles are available as PDFs athttps://lnkd.in/eqHzjDfh. The developing geopolitical environment again confronts the need of national and alliance leadership to address the requirements of force mobilization and extended force sustainment. It once again appears that aspects of past experience that were thought obsolete or no longer relevant never leave the table of needed consideration or application regardless where we think we have arrived in our individual and collective social and political development and where technology seems to be. In that regard, one U.S. experience pre-World War II gives some perspective on an earlier approach to preparing for the huge challenge of an extensive national force mobilization. The U.S. Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) is a study in a pre-mobilization national initiative that provided a perhaps timely and valuable preparation for the much larger mobilization to follow. Additionally, the initiative developed large numbers of "CCC company officer cadre and enrollees" that would help to "jump start" the later expanding Army of the United States' commissioned officer corps and non-commissioned officer corps. The article that follows comments on the CCC's contribution to preparing the country in a mobilization sense for what was to follow. The article also considers the innovativeness of the CCC exercise as a national leadership initiative. #Leadership #Leadershipdevelopment #Training #Trainingdevelopments #historymatters #Army #Military #Innovation #Management #Nationalguard #Humanresourcemanagement #Infantry #Infantryschool #Armor #Armorcenter #ArmyROTC #Armynationalguard #Armyreserve #Marinecorps #Fieldartillery #Airdefenseartillery #Veterantransition #Stateparks #Ranger #occupationalsafetyhealthcompliance #UConn #umassamherst

Understanding the Organizational Structure of the Indian Army The Indian Army, one of the largest and most formidable military forces in the world, operates with a meticulously designed organizational structure that ensures efficiency, discipline, and strategic depth. Here’s a brief overview: 1️⃣ Command Structure: The Army is divided into seven commands, each responsible for a specific region of India. These include six operational commands and one training command. Each command is led by a General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-in-C) of the rank of Lieutenant General. 2️⃣ Corps: Commands are further divided into Corps, the main operational units of the Army. Each Corps is responsible for specific tactical operations and is commanded by a Corps Commander, also of the rank of Lieutenant General. 3️⃣ Divisions: Each Corps contains Divisions, typically tasked with managing and conducting operations in specific areas. A Division is commanded by a Major General and usually consists of three or more Brigades. 4️⃣  Brigades: A Brigade is a collection of battalions and is commanded by a Brigadier. It is the smallest self-sufficient combat unit, capable of independent operations. 5️⃣ Battalions and Regiments: At the core are the Battalions and Regiments. A Battalion, commanded by a Colonel, typically consists of 800-1,000 soldiers. Regiments, often formed around specific types of troops (e.g., infantry, artillery), provide a sense of identity and tradition. 6️⃣ Companies, Platoons, and Sections: Within Battalions, troops are further divided into Companies (commanded by a Major or Captain), Platoons (commanded by a Lieutenant), and Sections (led by a Junior Commissioned Officer or a Non-Commissioned Officer). This structured hierarchy ensures that the Indian Army can conduct a wide range of operations, from large-scale strategic initiatives to focused tactical missions. The blend of tradition and modernity within this structure has made the Indian Army a symbol of strength and resilience. As a nation, we owe our security and peace to the brave men and women who operate within this framework, serving with dedication and honor.
