🎬 #ThrowBackThursday to AUSA Global Force Symposium and Exposition's #SensortoShooter All-Domain Decision Advantage Warrior's Corner "If you're a warfighter, you would say, 'I'm sure we have great things… but I just don't get it. I don't get it at my level.'" 🎤Catch a clip of Mr. Andrew Evans discussing what it means to be ready to fight a war in the next fight. He mentioned two shifts in sensing: "User demand to accelerate sensor to shooter activities by tapping into data below the top secret level…maybe even the unclass level" and the "power of machines in the PED Process." #TBT #ArtificialIntelligence #PED #DataTransport #DeepSensing #ContinuousTransformation PEO IEW&S US Army U.S. Army Materiel Command Association of the United States Army - AUSA Army Futures Command

Experts from Army Futures Command and ASA(ALT) co-authored a great discussion on the increasing proliferation of sensor-dependent and sensor edge technologies across the battlefield, and the various challenges associated with integrating them throughout the tactical network. The C5ISR Center, PEO IEW&S, PEO C3T, and the US Army Capabilities Manager for Fire Support outlined the types of dynamic, leap-ahead technologies needed to disambiguate, process, and synthesize disparate sensor information for optimal data sharing across an MDO-capable force. 🧐 Interested but unable to attend today’s panel?

From John C Maxwell's book on leadership comes these humorous actual pieces of advice from the military: 1) Aim towards the enemy - Instruction printed on US rocket launcher 2) When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not your friend - US Army 3) If the enemy is in range, so are you - Infantry Journal 4) It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed - US Air Force Manual 5) If your attack is going too well, you are probably headed into an ambush - Infantry Journal 6) Never tell your Platoon Sergeant you have nothing to do - Unknown Army Recruit 7) Don't draw fire, it irritates the people around you - Your buddies 8) If you see a bomb technician running, try to keep up with them - US Ammo Troop

Great engagement and discussion today with the Cyber CoE CG, as part of the IA Scholars field study at Fort Eisenhower! Biggest takeaway was shifting my lens to look at how data is traversing the battlefield geometry and understanding that aspect to enable a commander to make better and faster decisions! #scholars #LeadershipDevelopment

Preparing for block 3 of U.S. Army School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) "Reflections on Warfare" course (our history course, 3 blocks, 28 total lessons). The US-RVN attack into Cambodia in April through June 1970 is a very useful campaign for the modern practitioner from the strategic to tactical levels. My TOP take-aways: (1) prioritizing operational surprise over logistical readiness is sometimes rewarding, but be wary of dipping in that well too often, (2) do not take C2 for granted, it just doesn't "happen" and its degradation or absence is usually catastrophic and (3) declaring you are "mobile" doesn't mean you actually are mobile ("show me"). TOP quote: "The tempo for supply troops could be numbing."

What a great picture to capture the heart of a courageous warrior. I'm struck by John Chapman's subtle smile and peaceful resolve. This picture reminds me that we in the military can often mistake being tough with being hard. Hardness is easy. It's cold, impersonal, invulnerable and results in disconnectedness. We're tempted to justify hardness when the mission or task is difficult, or when we may or may not necessarily agree with the desired outcome. Put on the blinders, separate the heart from the action, do the task, live for another day. Toughness is connection based (both connected to self and/or a team) and requires selflessness and discipline. Tough, courageous warriors have tenacity, grit, determination, professionalism and most importantly: HUMILITY. I've known plenty of tough people with gentle hearts. Toughness leaves room for the heart to stay connected to your hands and mind. TSgt John Chapman's tenacity, grit and professionalism were on display at the top of Takur Ghar, but his humility, heart and selfless desire to serve brought him to the top of that mountain. I'm not sure you can capture the heart of a tough and selfless warrior any better than this photo of him humbly and gently holding an Afghan baby.
