Logistics is pretty important considering FD, in part, is all over how we get troops and supplies from A to B. I work at CD&I and part of my discussions today with some CIOs was about unmanned equipment that can keep the Marines in the fight without having to put the time and effort to coordinate how they’re going to move and get supplies while in enemy territory. Then there’s the littoral bridging solution while the medium landing ships concept gets figured out (big issues between Navy and Marine Corps). Really interesting stuff going on.
#CMC38 If you didn't come out to the Global Expeditionary Logistics Symposium hosted by Association of Marine Corps Logisticians and Christopher Newport University, YOU ARE MISSING OUT! First words out of General Berger's mouth, "I asked to be here." He went on to say that he believes logistics is the number one priority. This Symposium is crushing it.

Course Director, Airpower Strategy and Operations, Department of Airpower at USAF Air Command and Staff College
I find the Marine Corps Institute so fascinating as a bastion of the Progressive strain of U.S. history. Here's a page it featured in May 1942 in Leatherneck magazine. Note the bottom-left corner quote: "I'm not letting the Japs alter my study plans. I believe I can take care of both the Japs and Arithmetic." If you want to learn more about this period of USMC history, check out Mark Folse, PhD's great new work here: https://lnkd.in/enRCermi

In-depth with CAPT Chris “Chowdah” Hill about the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69)'s grueling and dangerous deployment that faced a bevy of new tactical realities. "I note here that "I think it’s important to go big and not be afraid to use terms like ‘to love and value,’ and then really understand what mission and purpose is, and truly understand what morale is. In naval regulations, the commanding officer is required to care about the morale of his people. But the thing is, we don’t really teach how to do that, right? A lot of our training is focused on ethics and character building, and that’s all important. But that next step is how do you transform an organization? What can I do? What can I say? That’s the kind of training I think we need to get more into." 💯⚓️🇺🇲 Read here > https://lnkd.in/gxN7Wp_V #MightyIKE #CVN69 #BestDamnShiplnTheNavy #WarriorLeadership

Learning from Failure Series: Understanding the Impact of Compassion In this edition of the "Learning from Failure Series," I share a deeply personal and transformative experience – the loss of a close shipmate and friend from my time on the USS Topeka. We were more than just colleagues in the machinery division; we formed a bond that extended beyond our naval service. Our conversations continued after leaving the military, discussing the challenges of transition and the sense of being lost. Tragically, I failed to grasp the depth of his struggle. The day after one of our talks, I was devastated to learn he had taken his own life. This loss profoundly changed my perspective on emotional intelligence and the importance of truly listening and being present for others. It has taught me the crucial role compassion plays in our interactions. There have been instances since where people have confided that my effort to reach out and talk made a significant difference in their lives. I want to use this platform to remind everyone: You are enough. You are loved. Your presence and your words can make a world of difference to someone struggling silently. Have you ever experienced a moment that reshaped your understanding of empathy and compassion? How has it influenced your approach to others, both personally and professionally? #LearningFromFailureSeries #Compassion #MentalHealthAwareness #SupportingEachOther #LifeLessons

Succession planning in large organizations: I am no P&C executive but as a history buff, this article got me thinking... It discusses the early 1942 task assigned to senior US Navy leaders by FDR through the Secretary of the Navy of the time: among the 120 active US admirals, select the top 40 ones that would help the country win the war. Remember, this was just two months after Pearl Harbor, with the US Navy being in a critical state. The result: with hindsight, the final list has some glaring omissions (Nimitz, presumably because he had just been appointed commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet, but also Spruance, who won Midway just 3 months later!) The presence of Halsey, Mitscher or Fletcher is no surprise however. But also, note quite a few names that haven’t exactly reached stellar recognition post WW2… The lesson: succession planning is never going to be an exact science and I think this article is proof. But this is not to say that taking a close look at your organization and planning for its future is pointless: you have to plot a course, even though “life is what happens when you are busy making other plans”. #peopleandculture #hr #successionplanning

“If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.” I read this book. Fortunately this video, which gets me in the feels every time, sums it up. It doesn’t matter your nationality, gender or country of origin; this applies to you. This short video, from one of the most decorated 4 star admirals and former navy seals in history, is incredibly important for anyone, in any industry, bent on setting goals and executing tasks. It’s a message of perseverance and hope. “If you make your bed every morning you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride, and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another. By the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that little things in life matter. If you can’t do the little things right, you will never do the big things right. And if by chance you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made. That you made. And a made bed gives you encouragement, that tomorrow will be better!” #leadership #goals #discipline #focus #training #priorities #construction #engineering #occupationalhealthandsafety #risk #ohs #hse #infrastructure #majororojects #management #militaryleadership #usmc #usnavy #navyseals

Thoughtful insight. MD a real gem for our nation
On 2 April Secretary and retired General James Mattis joined us for a couple of hours, providing thoughtful insights on the current geo-strategic issues around the globe. Moderated by Dr. Tammy Schultz, he took a wide range of questions from curious students and advising them that the study of history does not necessarily give you the right answers to current problems, but will certainly give you the right questions to ask yourself.

The authors, both former Navy SEAL officers, draw on their combat and leadership experiences in Iraq to present a framework for leadership that is applicable in any context. https://lnkd.in/ecJ8YAuZ
