I'll be doing part 2 of my urban operations lecture series this morning to Colonel @MelanieLake's 2 Combat Engineer Regiment. With the general introduction done (see thread below), today's lecture focuses on planning, tactics & sustainment from the company-to-brigade levels.
We are pushing key equipment to those in the fight (to those we trained with & where it is needed most). Night vision, thermal optics, drones, radios, medical and protective eqpt + to aid in success & survival on the battlefield! Please help us send more: https://t.co/jeicNC25eE
@DustyStetson95 2/2 or tactically proficient. We lost because we were outthought. We weren’t intellectually up to the challenge of thinking through how to accomplish operational objectives in a specific OE, and I include myself in that group. Adding 3/x
@DustyStetson95 Our Army has struggled far too long under an anti-intellectual belief that tactical proficiency is inconsistent with intellectual proficiency. It is not only possible to do both, it is absolutely necessary. We didn’t lose Afghanistan because our enemy was more physically fit 1/2
@WaschukCanUA@motytchak @CAFinUkraine Even now, we are continuing to train along side our UKR partners, we’ve just had to temporarily shift our main effort to getting through this outbreak so we can get back to training at full capacity quickly. We are not going anywhere and stand with 🇺🇦.
I know it’s hard to celebrate how far we’ve come when we still have a long ways to go, but as a CAF member, it is frustrating to always see us portrayed an unprogressive institution that refuses to change.
Check out my latest publication on @DivergentOption! It presents concepts for balancing the #ArmyTeam to prepare for both stability/#COIN and #LSCO. To think about this I looked at the case of #MAGAV from @israelpolice & the @IDF in #Israel https://t.co/CxGeYQQ9Xz
