In an ever-changing world, Skill Level 1 Tasks are becoming more critical. US Army Trainees going through Basic Combat Training, #BCT, or One Station Unit Training, #OSUT, learn the importance of camouflaging themselves and their equipment, a foundational skill becoming more critical in a Large-Scale Combat Operations (LSCO) environment. The use of camouflage in the military resulted from emerging technologies such as aerial photography, which made masses of weaponry or troops a liability. As World War I in Europe became a standoff between troops dug into their positions, this created a greater need for effective camouflage to conceal troop equipment and movements.

Situational awareness is the ability to perceive, understand, and effectively respond to one's situation. It involves comprehending a given circumstance, gathering relevant information, analysing it, and making informed decisions to successfully address any potential risks, hazards, or events that might occur #thameswater #Lanesgroup©

It’s fantastic to be able to incorporate iAM Learning’s digital learning content into our programmes. 🚀 What’s impressive about 92% is that this is for field based teams, not desk based, which are traditionally harder to reach audiences with digital learning. 🔑 One of the key drivers to our teams embracing iAM is the high quality animation and storytelling, done in such a unique way, making it engaging and fun. 🤩 As we enter our fourth year using iAM Learning, we are excited to continue to involve their content in our plans and programmes. #lanesgroup #thameswater #digitallearning #iAMLearning

From Combat to Corporate: Unlocking the Value of Military Skills Translating military skills into a corporate environment can be challenging, especially for those with active service experience. However, these skills are incredibly valuable when framed correctly. Consider fast-roping as an example. As a sailor aboard HMS Cumberland, I leapt from a Lynx helicopter in the Persian Gulf. Fast-roping entails descending a 30 meter rope from a hovering helicopter using only gloved hands while wearing full combat gear. The friction is so intense that we Sailors and Marines wore a type of welding glove to protect our hands. So, how does fast-roping translate to corporate value? It’s not the act of fast-roping itself that’s important—it’s the skills and qualities required to perform it safely and effectively. Here's how I translate it to corporate skills: Confidence to Overcome Fear: Military personnel regularly confront and overcome intense situations, instilling the confidence needed to tackle corporate challenges head-on. Risk Assessment and Mitigation: Sailors and Marines are adept at quickly assessing situations and minimizing risks, a crucial skill in any business environment. Discipline and Continuous Learning: The discipline and dedication required to master new skills in the military translate to a strong commitment to personal and professional growth in the corporate world. Teamwork and Coordination: Military training emphasizes effective teamwork and cross-functional collaboration, ensuring smooth operations in any organization. Military experience brings substantial value to the corporate sector. By effectively translating these skills, veterans are invaluable assets to any organization. #BritishRoyalNavy #Veterans #Military #CorporateSkills #Leadership #Teamwork #RiskManagement #ProfessionalGrowth #MilitaryToCorporate #VeteranSuccess #TransferrableSkills #Confidence #Discipline #Augmentumglobal
