படைமாட்சி / The Excellence of an Army "The Four Pillars of a Strong Army" "Valour, honour, tradition, and trustworthiness - the foundations of a formidable army. #MilitaryStrength #Leadership" "Valour, honour, following in the excellent footsteps (of its predecessors), and trustworthiness; these four alone constitute the safeguard of an army. Valour: The bravery and courage of soldiers in the face of danger. Honour: Upholding integrity and moral principles. Tradition: Following the exemplary paths laid down by predecessors. Trustworthiness: Reliably executing duties and maintaining loyalty. An army fortified by these principles stands resilient and strong, ready to defend and uphold its nation's glory. 🛡️🏅 #MilitaryStrength #Leadership"

Really interesting 5 minutes there. Listening to this it occurs to me that there is so much to be learned from the experiences and successes of the military reserve services by other volunteer centred national service provision organisations like the RNLI, NHS responders, Retained and volunteer Fire and Rescue, local resilience volunteers, Coastguard, and close to my heart, Police Special Constables. Likewise all these bodies and groups have their own successes and learnings that could well benefit others. There is talk of the world entering a pre war era of increased instability, of a public struggling with its mental health and sense of self worth, of the lack of funds available for supporting the fabric of society, that makes me think that perhaps now is a time to move the experience of volunteering and professional parallel employment and take these to another level and lessen risks posed by future conflicts by increasing the sense of purpose and resilience of our population personally and society generally. A multidisciplinary leadership group with representatives across different sectors, including government, military, third sector, healthcare and private sector, would allow all to improve both their own offerings and the services they deliver in the short term and look strategically contribute to a more robust nation. Thoughts anyone?

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.

The the world is very crazy and it can make you feel crazy so what do you do? Control YOUR controllables... Mostly this is just your thoughts 😁 proper thinking leads to proper action and as the man above said “If a man has done his best, what else is there?” – Gen. George S. Patton, 1885-1945, U.S. Army #best #albertapractical #thebest #solutions https://lnkd.in/gk75hWQz

"A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week" - General George S. Patton, US Army, WWII As this says, certainly an executed average plan is better than a perfect (seemingly!) plan which is never executed & tested. #planning #agileplanning

#storytelling A king's army chieftain retired. The king looked for a replacement, by announcing a 21-day war training for all soldiers. The best performer would be sworn as the new army captain. Each soldier wanted to prove their worth as an able leader and endured the challenge despite harsh weather conditions. Many got injured in the process. Hence, one among them took charge of shelters, while another ensured medical aid, food, and water. As days went by, many soldiers gave up. Only 4 remained for the final test and only 2 among them had passed all the challenges. But the King surprised everyone by ignoring the top 2 performers chose the 2 soldiers who were leftover as the chief and deputy chief, for his army. The King clarified: "𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘦𝘳, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 2 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘺, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘥.
