Combat isn’t war. America hasn’t been to war since World War II, when the entire American population and industry were mobilized. The US Army, and our military, have achieved the unthinkable through GWOT combat; but all out war is a different game. To discuss how the US Army is preparing for the next fight and the potential for war against a near peer adversary, I traveled to the Pentagon to sit down with Sergeant Major of the Army Mike Weimer to define professional warfighting and the importance of an all volunteer force. We broke down the art and science relationship between commissioned and non-commissioned officers. The SMA shared how his experience in the Special Forces shadows prepared him for the limelight of the SMA role. And we talked about the future, including his vision for solving the recruiting challenge, how warfare is evolving from the kill chain to the kill web, how he’s planning to retain the right people, and how the integration of Special Operations and the regular Army is more important now than ever.
