One lesser-known story about D-Day involves Operation Bodyguard - an elaborate strategy designed to mislead the Germans about the actual landing site. One of the key components of this operation was the creation of a fictitious army, the First United States Army Group (FUSAG), which was supposedly preparing to invade Pas-de-Calais, a region far from the actual landing sites in Normandy. To sell this deception, the Allies employed various tactics, including the use of inflatable tanks, dummy landing craft, and even fake radio traffic. They also had General George Patton, one of the most well-known and respected Allied generals, ostensibly in command of this phantom army. The Germans fell for it, and kept a significant portion of their forces in Pas-de-Calais for weeks, waiting for an invasion that never came. This misdirection allowed the actual invasion force in Normandy to face less resistance and establish a beachhead. As you reflect on D Day today, ask yourself - are you proactively planning for your business to succeed, or are you the one sitting in the wrong place, perhaps deceived by others?

The report on Armed Forces Readiness has been published and I can’t say it makes for enjoyable reading. I suspect for a large number of my military colleagues this will bring many long-standing frustrations (and realities) into public consciousness and awareness more than before 😕
