-- Sun Tzu Sun Tzu, also known as Sun Wu, was an ancient Chinese General, military strategist, philosopher, and writer who lived during the Eastern Zhou period (771–256 BC). He is traditionally credited as the author of "The Art of War," an influential work on military strategy that has impacted both Western and East Asian philosophical and military thinking. Sun Tzu's birth name was Sun Wu, and he was known outside of his family by his courtesy name Changqing. The name Sun Tzu, which means "Master Sun," is an honorific title. His teachings on warfare advocate for strategic flexibility and psychological warfare, emphasizing the importance of adaptability in response to changing circumstances. "The Art of War" has been revered for centuries and continues to be a significant influence on both military planning and strategy in various fields beyond the military, including business and legal strategies. #inspirationalquote #motivationalquote #wisdomquotes #lifelesson #SunTzu

Honored to have my DFM White Paper written at the The NCO Leadership Center of Excellence and Sergeants Major Academy “Force Management and Organizational Capability in Joint Base Religious Support” published by the U.S. Army Chaplain Corps Journal this month (pgs 18-23). Articulating this complex problem-set and generating a feasible solution is the result not just of academic research hours but years of practical experience both inside and outside the joint base construct. Bottom line: like mission command, “joint” can't mean whatever we want it to mean. Purpose and identity are organizational as well as spiritual values -and transformation shouldn’t ever be done in silos. Alignment and unity of effort are vital to MDO. My prayer is this article sparks much-needed conversation on an often-neglected corner of the Sustainment Warfighting Function: Spiritual Readiness and Title X Religious Support. #Humansoverhardware Pro Deo et Patria

The American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) was intially a rebellion carried out by the Thirteen Colonies of British America against Great Britain, sparked by the issue of taxation without representation. It soon blossomed into a War of Independence, resulting in the birth of the United States of America. The outcome of the war was largely influenced by the generals who conducted it. This collection looks at the lives and times of 15 military leaders of the American Revolution, including figures from the American, French, and British armies. It is by no means a comprehensive list, but contains many of the most significant figures of the conflict, detailing their campaigns and battles, victories and defeats, rises and downfalls. Of these 15 officers and generals, some perservered through the sheer forcefulness of their personalities, overcoming all obstacles to achieve victory and acclaim. Others had their reputations and careers destroyed by their roles in the war, and spent the rest of their lives trying to shift the blame to others. Some of these men ended up as presidents or great statesmen, while others ended up destitute and forgotten. All of them played significant roles in the birth of the United States, and any student of the American Revolution should become acquainted with them in order to have a better understanding of the topic. #AmericanRevolution #ContinentalArmy #MilitaryHistory #History #WHE
