The title of this report (unfortunately, behind the paywall): The Decay of Boeing "The aircraft manufacturer is the flagship company of U.S. airpower and #aerospace. Succession failure in #engineering and on the factory floor now threatens its functionality." https://lnkd.in/ehQ5VAzi Jason Premo Donald McGregor, USAF, Maj Gen (Ret) David Smith

Mahan, Corbett, Brodie and Wylie; oh my!! Super episode by the U.S. Army School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) #oparch team with SAMS faculty Dr. Nicholas Prime. https://lnkd.in/efTdm3KQ Dr. Prime and team connected several dots for me, bringing the ideas of Mahan and Corbett together in a complementary way and reinforcing the accessibility of Wylie's thoughts on strategy. A few quotes that jumped out at me: (1) "You have to look at the tools you have and see how you can apply them to achieve the effects you need. You may have to start with one tool and then swap it for another. Not all the tools you have will be appropriate to what you are trying to do." (2) "The challenge of strategy is matching military outcomes to political expectations." (3) "In applying operational art, you have to look up to strategy as much if not more than you look down to tactical application. We tend to default down."

In peacetime, great military leadership must include deep intellectual examination of the future of war. One of my heroes: Harris Laning. Navy friends, don't lie: have you ever heard of him? Probably not. But you should. Harris was head of the tactics program at the Naval War College from 1922 to 1924. At that time, Jutland was only near-contemporary battle studied in the curriculum. Laning thought even Jutland was outdated. A scholar of the emerging role of aircraft and submarines in naval warfare, he dubbed the big gun battle at Jutland "as outmoded as the battle of Trafalgar." Laning introduced subs and aviation into War College war games and encouraged innovation, telling his students that they could try any tactic that aircraft and submarines could physically accomplish giving current technology limits. Two conclusions from those early war games: (1) to win a battle, you have to control the airspace over the competing fleets; and (2) you have to strike enemy carriers as soon as they come into range. Visionary. #navy #departmentofdefense #pentagon #wargames #nationalsecurity

Veteran talent goes far, far beyond technical expertise and the ability to follow a command. Military service cultivates a wealth of diverse experiences and transferable talents that manufacturers are just crying out for! In the latest episode of Manufacturing Happy Hour, we sat down with Retired LtCol, USAF, Kathy Lowrey Gallowitz, who tells us why we need more veterans in manufacturing and how to ensure your organization is veteran-ready!

Innovation in the Navy is hard. Rickover offers an example that is upsetting to some, but damn effective. Who is the “Rickover of autonomous systems” or the “Rickover of AI” in the Navy today?

This is Space Force Junior ROTC Introducing the National Awards for Cadet Guardians: VII We continue our discussion of the awards and ribbons that will be given during these final months of the academic year. Individual awards are presented to outstanding #CadetGuardians in all ten units of the current Space Force JROTC enterprise, as well as in every Air Force JROTC unit. The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) sponsors the seventh award in precedence for individual achievement. It is given to an outstanding junior or senior member who displays the qualities of leadership. These qualities include attitude, military bearing, conduct, plus virtues such as courtesy, respect, dependability, and cooperation. The student must also display patriotism and have a "B" average in SFJROTC coursework and success in school academics. While #SFJROTC is not a military accession program, its mission is to "launch #citizens of #character with a #space-vision" into their communities. The entire SFJROTC enterprise appreciates all the organizations that sponsor the award programs that motivate the next generation of leaders toward their #Commitment to Mastery. SFJROTC units are managed by Air Force Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (AFJROTC) with the support of United States Space Force, Space Training and Readiness Command, Space Delta 13, Detachment 2.
