This is all true, but potentially irrelevant. You can have the best army to fight the previous war, but is it the best army for the next war? The quality of the people and their organization can be a huge competitive advantage. But if they are not trained in modern war and are not equipped to fight it, can they prevail? The drone war of today and tomorrow requires different equipment, different training, and different unit organization than today's US Army. The United States Marine Corps has started to adapt to the new reality. The US Navy and United States Air Force are lagging behind. The US spend more money on defense than the next seven nations combined, but is it spending it on the right things? In the right ways? The US has become the high-cost producer of almost everything, yet in war, low-cost mass production is critical. The recent RAND study is quite damning and, frankly, scary about how ill-prepared the US is to fight a real war. #ww3 Garrett M. Graff

And there are times when it pays to play it safe and follow the company culture! For instance if you are looking to join a new company, or to rise up in the ranks of your current organization, checking to see how the Executive team presents themselves online could provide you with ideas on what to wear for your headshot. But in many instances, especially if you are in a sales, marketing, or creative role, injecting some of your personality into your personal brand can help you to stand out from your competition! More adventurous choices of color, pattern, and accessories can help make you more memorable to your clients and prospects, and to “stop the scroll” here on LinkedIn.

There are two pillars in nation building. One pillar is men and the second pillar is women. When both pillars are strongly placed then the structure of the country is most stable.

Great interview with Tim Kennedy founder of Sheepdog Response . Key takeaways: - Veteran transition strategy (find your purpose) - Why veterans make great civilian employees (dedicated to the mission/ focused on results) - Veterans have a Continuous Improvement mindset (this is key to organizations who strive for best in class/ best quality/ want to dominate the industry) Side note: If you are struggling to find your purpose, contact me. As an Oxford Leadership coach, I help people define and align their personal and professional purpose, values and vision.

20 Sep 06:50: ‘NCOs without surveillance and attack drones, counter-drones, small unit EW, flying grenades, UGV-deployable mines and ammo delivery and casualty recovery, and flying thermite/wp dispensers are going to feel like US Grant’s troops fighting George Patton. All of these technologies are available, inexpensive (compared with other stuff we currently buy), easily adaptable and upgradable on the base platforms — and should ALREADY be in service with all of our infantry, armour, artillery, and recon units. Washington fiddles and runs along at the same old ponderous pace while the clock ticks. Time to kill red tape’: Me (TSz): ‘ … AND time to also ignore Putin lies and his so called ‘Red Lines’ … which Putin seems superbly to continue to control Biden … such that Biden continues to protect Russian territory at the expense of Ukraine’s? Am I missing something?’: Thank you H Perry 🇺🇸 … and J Scott 🇺🇸🇺🇦:

Delving into Flag Precedence, a crucial facet of military etiquette, referencing Department of the Army Pamphlet 600–60(A Guide to Protocol) offers detailed guidance for soldiers and DOD civilians.

Let's internalize this wisdom, ensuring our commitment to excellence echoes in every detail. 🇺🇸 #MilitaryEtiquette #USArmy #FlagPrecedence #ArmyProtocol #ExecutiveServices

In short, what is our military's "true advantage"? The Pentagon gives its frontline non-commissioned officers and their charges -- all very young adults by and large -- full control and autonomy over the missions. Imagine for a moment the enormous economic advantages we could build if American enterprises large and small would have the courage to give their front line employees the kind of continuous training, trust, autonomy and decision making power the Pentagon gives its young people in uniform.
