SALUTE 🫡- Indian Armed Forces Have you ever noticed the different kinds of salutes that different army officers do in movies, series, and TV? If you have not,then do watch this reel, where I have thoroughly explained three different kinds of salute and the reason behind it. My father ( A Navy veteran himself) and I would often discuss on this topic . As a former Army cadet myself , I have learnt this during my rigorous camps for the Republic Day parade too. Now, that you know the different salutes, let me know in which movie, which type of salute you can spot. #salute #army #navy #airforce #videocontent #tuesdaythoughts

January 28, 1942 - 8th Air Force Activated The U.S. Army Air Forces activated the Eighth at Savannah, Georgia with three major subordinate units: the VIII Bomber Command (BC), the VIII Fighter Command (FC), and the VIII Ground Air Services Command (GASC). During World War II, under the leadership of such generals as Ira Eaker and Jimmy Doolittle, the VIII BC (then Eighth Air Force) formed the greatest air armada in history. By mid-1944, the unit had a total strength of more than 200,000 people, and it could send more than 2,000 four-engine bombers and 1,000 fighters on a single mission against enemy targets in Europe. For this reason, Eighth Air Force is commonly known as the "Mighty Eighth." From May 1942 to July 1945, the Eighth planned and precisely executed America's daylight strategic bombing campaign against Nazi-occupied Europe, and in doing so the organization compiled an impressive war record. That record, however, carried a high price. For instance, the Eighth suffered about half of the U.S. Army Air Force's casualties (47,483 out of 115,332), including more than 26,000 dead. #ww2 #8thAirForce #aviationhistory #usmilitary #AirWarOverEurope #TheMightyEighth

SKYDIVING HOMEWORK: Lessons I learned from Dr. Israel Portillo's Physics I Lecture Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This fundamental principle of physics implies that forces always occur in pairs; when one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body exerts an equal and opposite force back on the first body. In the context of rock climbing, when a climber falls, the padded floor exerts an upward force that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the downward force of the climber's fall, effectively cushioning the impact. For your skydiving homework, this law is crucial in understanding how the skydiver exerts a force on the air as they fall, and the air exerts an equal and opposite force back on the skydiver, affecting their descent speed and stability.

DEI in the Military: 2. **Women's Integration into the Armed Forces** - **World War II**: Women played critical roles during **World War II** through auxiliary units like the Women's Army Corps (WAC), WAVES (Navy), and Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP). However, these roles were often seen as temporary wartime measures. - **Post-WWII**: The **Women's Armed Services Integration Act** of **1948** allowed women to serve as permanent, regular members of the military, though with limitations (e.g., combat roles were restricted). - **Progress on Combat Roles**: Over the decades, restrictions on women serving in combat were gradually lifted, culminating in **2015** when the Department of Defense opened **all combat positions** to women.

America’s next fight will require forces capable of operating in the extended deep; the denied area of an adversary that only a highly specialized force can penetrate. These are Green Beret Problems. Major General Gil Ferguson, Commanding General of 1st Special Forces Command (Airborne) - US Army joined me for a conversation on the culture of the Regiment, how the Special Forces Groups are preparing for regional conflicts with unknown enemies, at unknown times; and just how Green Berets are solidifying themselves as the go-to option in the deep sensor fight against our peer adversaries. MG Ferguson also explains the SOF-Space-Cyber Triad, where he sees Special Forces in a decade, and as our units evolve, what needs to stay the same. Take a listen, watch, or read our conversation with America’s top Green Beret, then head over to our YouTube channel to watch MG Ferguson share the lineage of America’s first Special Forces in the Jedburgh Media Channel’s first documentary, Unknown Heroes, Behind Enemy Lines at D-Day, the story of Operation Jedburgh.   Episode 142 is live: https://lnkd.in/enckrg2s Green Beret Foundation #SpecialForces #GreenBerets #1stSpecialForcesCommand #USArmy #SpecialOperations #MilitaryCulture #SpecialForcesGroups #RegionalConflicts #PeerAdversaries #DeepSensorFight #SOF #SOFSpaceCyber #MilitaryStrategy

The equipment can never fail! This is true if it's a simple tool or a complex weapon system.

The US military's retention rate, at 55% in 2021, is a significant concern for national defense. Issues such as inadequate compensation, toxic leadership, and limited freedom hinder retention. Despite this, the US Navy and US Army have achieved retention goals. This article examines the military's proactive measures to improve retention rates and ensure top officers remain in service.

Military writers often overcapitalize. It's not all our fault. The military tries to convince us that capitalizing certain words, like "Army" and "Soldier," signals respect or importance. But it doesn't--it just makes things awkward when we write for non-military people. Here are some tips for avoiding common errors: Do not capitalize initialisms... the joint planning process (JPP), multidomain operations (MDO), commanding general (CG) ...except for proper nouns the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Do not capitalize ranks and titles... the division commander, the colonel, the sergeant major ...unless they precede a name Colonel Smith, Sergeant Major Jones Do not capitalize units... the company, the corps, the squadron ...unless it's a unit name A Company, III Corps, 1st Squadron Finally, do not capitalize a word to make it seem important.
