Military and International Operations: USACE’s Founding Mission The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is an agency built to serve the U.S. military. Its original mandate – to protect and enable Soldiers of the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War – has evolved and expanded considerably since Col. Richard Gridley, the Army’s first chief engineer, ordered the construction of fortifications at Breed’s Hill, near Boston, in 1775. The range of expertise contained within USACE today – some of it literally found nowhere else in the world – remains focused on supporting the armed forces. USACE helps the U.S. military and its allies maintain readiness, ensure national and regional security, and respond to contingencies with either lethal or life-saving efficiency, as circumstances dictate.

Interesting short introductory video on LMR study - still in the scoping phase. The Mississippi River is changing, and we are experiencing both higher and lower water levels, leading to more frequent opening of the Bonnet Carre Spillway but also saltwater intrusion from the Gulf of Mexico. What impacts will the deepening of the River from 45 to 50 feet, uncontrolled crevasses like Neptune Pass, future planned diversions, and a host of upstream factors like dams have on the water and sediment budget of the River and how will this impact the already fragile Birdfoot Delta? The Army Corps is having an Open House Feb. 28 from 10 a.m. to noon and 6 to 8 p.m USACE New Orleans District Headquarters, 7400 Leake Ave., New Orleans, LA 70118.

This book fills a gap in the study of command in battle. The Corps echelon is seldom studied. Understanding and visualizing Corps operations is essential to U.S. Army School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) graduates. At least 20 a year go directly to Corps staffs. In Dr. Winton's words: "The requirement for organic unity between high level strategy and the most minor of tactics contains an imperative for the mid-level direction of war to keep the two poles in consonance." Corps are a slice of this "mid-level" that provide "tactical direction to the flexible combination of forces required." One last gem - "Strategic muscle hangs on a logistical skeleton." This is an important book for practioners of operational art. The Army University U.S. Army Combined Arms Center US Army TRADOC #readwithSAMS

The Army's Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) System begins in the Future Soldier Program (U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC)) , is taught in Initial Entry Training (U.S. Army Center for Initial Military Training ), refined in every Professional Military Education (US Army TRADOC ), and sustained at echelon (US Army), (Army National Guard)(United States Army Reserve) This system is the key to #peoplefirst and the foundation of every variable for Soldier and Family Readiness. The H2F System and its compromised programs are the tools by which Leaders serve Soldiers. H2F isn't a test, an activity, or a check-the-block event. It is an investment in the future of our organization and the safety of our nation. Nothing in the Army is more important than the Soldier, and nothing indeed improves more aspects of a Soldier's life than comprehensively preparing them to enhance and maintain their physical, nutritional, mental, sleep, and spiritual well-being.

#RecruitingRants Rant of the Day... #SocialSaturday is for: ?????? My answer: Anything you want! But for me, developing teams and forging partnerships. People who I want on OUR Navy Team. Note I didn't say "My" team... Big emphasis here. How does the U.S. Navy Reserve and US Navy achieve their recruiting outcomes? Teamwork -Referral generation -Centers of Influence -Social Media and Public Forum presence -Supporting one another regardless of "Who" the candidate belongs to or what they want to achieve Let's change "How can I make goal" to "How can WE make goal". My LinkedIn network is a primary reason for my success and Sites success and the Officer and Enlisted mission. We look at the "We" "Us" picture and make sure we are all supported in our efforts. #Recruiting #RecruiterLife #Teamwork #Capable #Navy #NavyReserve #Sailorization YOUR #SteelCityReservist
