Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. If you’ve ever served in the military, especially in the infantry, you’ve heard this. But this lesson reaches far beyond the battlefield. It’s not about how fast you get something done. If you’re constantly going back to fix mistakes, you’re not fast or efficient. And if correcting mistakes becomes a regular habit? That’s inefficiency at its core. In the long run, precision and focus beat speed every time. Efficiency comes from doing it right the first time. #EfficiencyMatters #LeadershipLessons #AttentionToDetail #SlowIsSmooth #PrecisionOverSpeed

Why This Elite Veteran Chose Sarkar Tactical Over All Others 🎖 After over 2 decades of service in the Parachute Regiment, with the last nine in the Special Forces Support Group (SFSG), transitioning to civilian life as a military contractor was no small feat. But for this seasoned veteran, one thing remained non-negotiable: the quality of his gear. When he set out to find body armour and helmets that would meet the rigorous demands of his new role—training soldiers in the blistering 45-degree heat — he turned to explore the market with one goal in mind: find superior manufactured, spec body armour. The market was flooded with cheap, unreliable copies, but he wasn’t willing to settle for less. His life and the lives of those he trains depend on it. That search led him to Sarkar Tactical. From the moment he navigated the website and consulted with the very knowledgeable staff, he knew he had found exactly what he needed and the gear truly exceeded his expectations. The hard armor plates struck the perfect balance between protection and weight—no small feat for someone accustomed to wearing the likes of Osprey and Paraclete. His colleagues, all ex-British and Australian military, were equally impressed, noting the level of protection these plates offered. As he prepares for his next live-fire training session, this time wearing his Sarkar gear in the extreme temperatures, we’re reminded of why we do what we do. Our products aren’t just pieces of equipment—they’re lifelines for the men and women who use them in the most challenging conditions. This feedback isn’t just a review. It’s a testament to the quality and reliability of Sarkar Tactical’s products. Built to last. Built to protect. Built with the best materials.

Part of the research I am conducting for my book on the 8th Infantry Regiment of the Illinois National Guard (370th Infantry Regiment) is on the history of the National Guard. This part of the research has been fascinating. From learning about the first three regiments formed during the colonial period to the various Militia and National Defense Acts that helped to shape the Guard into what it is today, it has truly been eye opening. If I may say so myself, it is one of the most interesting chapters in the book.

Blood and war are inextricably linked. The military has learned and relearned this lesson in every war over the past century. Read this article, recommended by the Chief of Staff of the Army, where Lt. Col. Max Ferguson writes about how combat casualty survival on the battlefield depends on a well-resourced and well-trained blood capability. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gsZhu85Z
