US Army’s Post

🔋 Power is the backbone that allows our network 🛜 to function and our Soldiers to shoot, move, and communicate in an increasingly digital future.📡 Today at #TEM12, Army experts from the C5ISR Center, Contested Logistics CFT, PEO Combat Support & Combat Service Support (PEO CS&CSS), and The United States Army Pacific (USARPAC) discussed Future Army electrical power generation and sustainment needs for network operations in environments where access to traditional energy supplies are limited or contested.❌ 📶 🪫 🧐 Interested but unable to attend today’s panel?

When it comes to suicide prevention training, every moment matters and every tool counts. While PowerPoint presentations and role-playing have their place, they often fall short of delivering the depth and empathy required for such critical issues. Enter immersive VR training: it doesn’t just teach you about suicide prevention; it puts you in the heart of real-life scenarios. By engaging with lifelike simulations, participants can experience the emotional nuances and pressures that come with these situations. This hands-on approach builds empathy and equips individuals with practical skills far beyond what slides and scripted role-plays can offer. In the realm of saving lives, why settle for less when you can be truly prepared? VR training isn’t just a step forward—it’s a leap towards more effective, impactful, and compassionate prevention strategies. #SuicidePrevention #VREducation #TrainingInnovation #EmpathyInAction United States Air Force Space Training and Readiness Command

Letter to the Force from the Chief of Army Reserve and Commanding General, U.S. Army Reserve Command. Our Nation faces a complex national security environment in a rapidly changing world. Capable adversaries present growing challenges at home and abroad. We must be ready. Never forget why the Army and Army Reserve exist: to fight and win our Nation’s wars. To that end, we will focus on four priorities: - Build and deliver Combat Ready Soldiers and formations - Mobilize and deploy on time and at scale - Adapt, Transform and Modernize - Invest in our Soldiers, Civilians, and Families Let’s lace ‘em up and get to work. Twice the Citizen, Combat Ready!

This is like Faust selling his soul to win a demolition derby or Paris absconding to Troy with one of the Kardashians. A man at the peak of power & career, choosing to write just another mindless missive brimming with empty cliches. I’ve often joked that United States Army Reserve PME beyond BOLC for officers should be replaced with studying literature, philosophy & history beyond just bickering & arguing about who killed who in what battle. But now I seriously think we should get rid of CCC, ILE, and close the The United States Army War College, or at least rename it “Carlisle Barracks Community College”. All they seems to be doing is cramming the minds of our uniformed bureaucrats with a bunch of data, without imparting any useful knowledge, much less wisdon. Like the coin on No Country for Old Men, which travelled 22 years to get to BFE Texas for a coin toss between Chigurh & the gas station attendant; this dude has been traveling through a 30-year career in the US Army to arrive at the apex of his career. For what? To babble a bunch of empty platitudes that literally could have been written better by ChatGPT? Really? That's all I get for my tax dollars? Did his journey to arrive at the apex of his career teach him anything besides how to ingratiate himself to his boss to summit the greased pole? Apparently not. Based on this lame missive, he'd probably learn more about #Leadership & motivating humans by reading The Iliad & The Odyssey, than whatever education he attended. We are in extraordinarily dangerous times not seen since WWII, requiring actual leadership from intellectually engaged #Leaders who are willing to confront old problems in new ways. Yet it seems we're just getting a bunch of wanker bozos, who think leadership consists of making your boss happy so you get promoted. Then when they become the top boss, they have no idea what to do. So they do what they've always done: just make up nice sounding BS. Soldiers who deserve quality leadership, seem to be having mediocracy thrust upon them, no different than Major Major Major Major in Catch-22. I sincerely hope I'm wrong & that the new CAR is the best CAR to ever grace Ft. Liberty. If so, I'll be happy to admit that I was wrong. But so far, it seems he's just another boring general, who mistakes the sycophantic groveling of their subordinates, as a sign of their awesomeness. Steven Gambichler, you certainly were right that the #Army has lost any sort of serious intellectual engagement.

Experts from Army Futures Command and ASA(ALT) co-authored a great discussion on the increasing proliferation of sensor-dependent and sensor edge technologies across the battlefield, and the various challenges associated with integrating them throughout the tactical network. The C5ISR Center, PEO IEW&S, PEO C3T, and the US Army Capabilities Manager for Fire Support outlined the types of dynamic, leap-ahead technologies needed to disambiguate, process, and synthesize disparate sensor information for optimal data sharing across an MDO-capable force. 🧐 Interested but unable to attend today’s panel?

Reflecting on an Inspiring Week: Honored and Motivated This week, I had the privilege of attending the AUSA (Association of the United States Army) annual meeting, where military families, government leaders, and industry come together to support the mission and people of the U.S. Army. While there, a new friend I met, knowing I was planning to visit my brother at Arlington National Cemetery, suggested I visit Section 60. It was a deeply moving experience to stand in Section 60, the resting place of many of our brave service members who gave their lives in Afghanistan and Iraq since 2001. I found myself reflecting on the young men and women—many the age of my own son—who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. It was a sobering honor to stand among them. The visit took on even greater meaning when my friend shared that many of these fallen soldiers were his comrades, friends he had served alongside. He spoke about how some of these losses might have been prevented with the use of Robotic and Autonomous Vehicles in the field. That’s why I feel more motivated than ever. At New Eagle, our Raptor® platform supports Robotic and Autonomous Systems for many DoD and industry suppliers. As we continue to advance this technology, my hope is that future soldiers will have better, safer equipment that is Raptor-enabled. This experience has reignited my purpose. Starting tomorrow, I will continue to improve Raptor, enhancing its documentation, and exploring even more ways it can serve the U.S. Army, Marines, and our entire Armed Services. #ArlingtonNationalCemetery #Section60 #HonorTheFallen #2ndBattalion10thMarines #USMarines #USArmy #USAirForce #AUSA2024 #ArmyFamily #RaptorEMBD #NewEagle #ModelBasedDevelopment #Forterra #JETCO

SSV's newest partner is the U.S. Army Reserve's Private Public Partnership (P3) making SSV an official national career resource for any soldier (and their families) currently or previously serving in the U.S. Army Reserve. According to James King, SSV's Chief Programs Officer, "This partnership will expand SSV's reach into the all-important reserve component of the U.S. Army throughout the country. This partnership is additional validation of SSV's Veteran Career & Transition expertise." SSV is thrilled to grow our reach and serve more deserving service members!

From John C Maxwell's book on leadership comes these humorous actual pieces of advice from the military: 1) Aim towards the enemy - Instruction printed on US rocket launcher 2) When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not your friend - US Army 3) If the enemy is in range, so are you - Infantry Journal 4) It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed - US Air Force Manual 5) If your attack is going too well, you are probably headed into an ambush - Infantry Journal 6) Never tell your Platoon Sergeant you have nothing to do - Unknown Army Recruit 7) Don't draw fire, it irritates the people around you - Your buddies 8) If you see a bomb technician running, try to keep up with them - US Ammo Troop

You can only build tech to win the war with people who have firsthand knowledge to do it.

#NETL researchers developed a heat treatment for armor plate that boosts the armor’s resistance to penetration by explosive devices. In 2007, the U.S. Army Tank and Automotive Command ordered 10 million pounds of this enhanced armor to retrofit military vehicles. #25yrsNETL
