A little military culture for this morning... Reading recent articles 📖 and listening to a good podcast ⏯️ for a bit of variety 😀 @DSI_Magazine @IFRI_ @LeRubicon_org 🇫🇷. Centre d'Histoire et de Prospective Militaires (CHPM) 🇨🇭

After a period of inactivity on an important project 👨‍🎓, we're getting back to it right away! Thanks again to Yohan and Margot for their help with this book, which has sparked a new dynamic! One is better than none... #Bulletjournal. A studious 🧠 weekend on the horizon...

Upstream, my JOPG developed the operational plans and, during the EUBOOST 25 exercise, the core JOPG focused on updating the plan to include the possibility of conducting a Non-Combatant Evacuation Operation. 🇪🇺💪🏻🫡

[EUROCORPS @HQEurocorps]

While we remain on #EUBG 2025 stand-by phase until 31 December, we have already launched preparations for our next role as Force Headquarters.

The new team kicked off with a Battle Staff Training in #Strasbourg focusing on refining our internal processes and establishing a solid battle rhythm.

👉Next step: the alert exercise with the 🇪🇺EU Military Planning and Conduct Capability (strategic level), leading us toward Spain 🇪🇸, with the live exercise that will train and validate our interoperability with troops on the ground.

Ready for what comes next. 🇪🇺💪

A somewhat studious weekend... before Christmas 🎅🏻 ... Development "within means and capabilities" of a course 📖 on Ops planning for @HQEurocorps planners. First audio capsule currently being developed and tested ✅, several more to follow 💪🏻 and available soon! "Born to plan"🫡

Met diepe droefheid melden we het overlijden van een militaire collega. Hij raakte op 28 november 2025 levensbedreigend gewond tijdens zijn inzet op missie in Litouwen en is vandaag aan zijn verwondingen overleden. Onze gedachten gaan uit naar zijn naasten.

A very recent wargame brought back from my conference in Verona 🇮🇹. And yes, there was also a Wargaming shop in that city. Intellectual training at the operational and tactical levels to come... Now I just need to find some motivated friends to join me 😉. #WarGames @gmtgames

Participation this week in the CD & WIN 2025 organised by @NATO_ACT in Verona 🇮🇹 on Concept Development and Wargaming. A great opportunity to meet experts in the field and also to test some of the latest military wargames available on the market. @SebastianBae @Matrix_Wargames

[🔎 À lire] Char de combat : obsolescence ou renaissance ?

Depuis février 2022, les forces russes et ukrainiennes ont perdu plus de 5 000 chars de combat, un volume très supérieur à l’ensemble du parc européen actuel.

Cette nouvelle étude de @Leo_PeriaPeigne montre que loin d’être dépassé, le char de combat se réinvente face aux drones et reste au cœur du réarmement européen, sauf en France, menacée de déclassement si elle ne renforce pas son segment lourd. ⤵️

A fantastic presentation by Mark Leno on several of his #wargames with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is a powerful case study of #wargaming in support of real world operations in a large scale conflict. 🎲

[Sebastian Bae @SebastianBae]

A great start to Wargaming Initiative #NATO 2026 with various presentations highlighting several NATO countries and their #wargaming initiatives. Presenters included France, Italy, Germany, and the UK. 🎲 💥

Le colonel Pierre Santoni est un des meilleurs tacticiens français et sa lecture est indispensable à tous ceux qui se préparent à commander des soldats au feu mais pas seulement, tant ses enseignements - et particulièrement pour ce nouvel opus - sont utiles pour tous les dirigeants.
