FF #10. Never be unreachable. As we engage our Soldiers this week, I ask you to consider two questions to ask our warriors: Why did you join? Why do you continue to serve? I think you will find their answers will surprise you as the Army is the most successful team in the world.

This Officer serves in the 75th Ranger Regiment. Up until a year or two ago, she would not have been allowed to serve in this organization, or attend the Army’s most premier leadership training — Ranger School.
She is a role-model for all!

SOF Truth 1: People, not equipment, make the critical difference. The right people, highly trained and working as a team, will accomplish the mission with the equipment available. On the other hand, the best equipment in the world cannot compensate for a lack of the right people.

A great piece (pg. 53) from a fellow @ArtofWarScholar on the tensions and challenges associated with “sustainable modernisation”... turns out that it’s a lot more complicated than just buying new stuff...
“The Challenges of Sustaining an Army in Motion.” @AARCAusArmy Great article from @ArtofWarScholar alumnus @kanedavidwright, of @AustralianArmy!

The @ArtofWarScholar team had the privilege to visited @usabmc's Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery in Belgium. 7987 fallen Americans rest here, with many “known but to God.” 37 sets of brothers and one set of three brothers are also interred here. #HonorTheFallen #WWII75inEurope

Interesting discussion from @War_Room_Eds: “We are vulnerable and out of position. The current theater design is predicated on a discredited view of advantage… You have to be more adaptable, more agile, more distributed, more joint, and more multidomain.” warroom.armywarcollege.edu/s…
