@3BrigadeTSV What right looks like. Si vis pacem, para bellum.

@COMD7BDE According to PM Curtin, ‘the most decisive battle Australia fought in WW2.’

@WarintheFuture @abcnews ‘Almost all things are known, yet most have been forgotten.’ Fehrenbach. Reminds me of Lord Moran’s ‘Anatomy of Courage.’ Profound story. Please keep them coming.

@TheInfanteer Not sure Canberra can reasonably compare with Paris. Contrast? Absolutely.

[Benjamin McLennan @benmclennan76]

@WarintheFuture @MaxBoot Excellent article.

[Benjamin McLennan @benmclennan76]

@JohnCareyROK @UN_Command What a poignant moment.

[Benjamin McLennan @benmclennan76]

@Tankophilia Nothing to complain about there.

[Benjamin McLennan @benmclennan76]

@3BrigadeTSV @TalismanSabre Why we train? Readiness (now/future), Rehearsal, Relationships, Reconnaissance, Retention - and Demonstration of collective will and capability. All exemplified in this clip.

[Benjamin McLennan @benmclennan76]

@ChasAHKnight Yes, it is an excellent training facility. We used it in July. You could readily fight two BLUE battlegroups (as part of a Brigade) in it for several days against a committed REDFOR practicing gruelling and unrelenting urban combat.

@3BrigadeTSV @1stArmoredDiv ‘What right looks like.’

[Benjamin McLennan @benmclennan76]

@3BrigadeTSV @TalismanSabre Big Blue 1. Kicking goals since 1945.

[Benjamin McLennan @benmclennan76]

@COMD7BDE I’m inspired!

[Benjamin McLennan @benmclennan76]

@3BrigadeTSV @WarintheFuture Wished I could have participated. We need to study this was as (more) intently than any potential adversary. Equally, we need to apply what we can learn from those ‘in the mud.’ ‘There are tigers in this world.’

@siobhanheanue @FMcL2020 @NYT Sobering.

[Benjamin McLennan @benmclennan76]

@3BrigadeTSV @OldMechHead @AusAirForce Solid team.

[Benjamin McLennan @benmclennan76]

@3BrigadeTSV Prime indicator of a professional military team: self-regulated learning. Well done 3 Bde. Realising immediate and enduring learning - the soldier/subaltern of today; the sergeant major/sub-unit commander of tomorrow.

@FMcL2020 @ChasAHKnight @covetweet @FORCOMDAusArmy Tracking - excusing the pun…

[Benjamin McLennan @benmclennan76]

@3BrigadeTSV @PngPles @auspngnetwork Gee, that’s a solid crew from both Armies.

[Benjamin McLennan @benmclennan76]

@TheInfanteer Focus and simplicity - that is my mantra. Steve Jobs.

As an aside, I vote for Abolish to be rebirthed as a NATO task verb.

@RHendo76 Day in, day out. Spaced repetition is what counts.
