@thinkdefence Love your thinking - we are grappling with the same problem. What is the role of the FFR C2 vehicle - an office on wheels or something to drive the radios (& IT around), or both??

[Paul Cocker @cocker_paul]

@SO2portaloos Of course "people are our most important capability" so you still need the 'right' SUCs that don't create retention/morale issues. But the other (staff) jobs are important too...

[Paul Cocker @cocker_paul]

@SO2portaloos Yes. Change up the definition of "what a good career looks like". Reward people for a job well done regardless of post, not just in the posts that people think are important. I'm far busier and dealing with more meaningful issues in a SO1 role than I was at SUC...

@LiamLawson30 @AlphaTauriF1 Congrats mate - nice to see a kiwi in the top tier.

@tatbels Superb

@annabf This has real 'frat boy looking to get help with an assignment' energy.

@satellitedundee Is there an estimated impact time?

[Paul Cocker @cocker_paul]

@combat_boot I just see no other possible way of verifying someone's identity without a scribbled bit of ballpoint on a piece of paper.

@2805662 Steerable antenna on mast might be electronic attack/counter drone.

[SO2 portaloos - a staff officers story! @SO2portaloos]

Thread alert!

The army won’t fix itself until we start interviewing for jobs. Every job. Right now, your worth for your next job is based on your performance in the last job which can be entirely unrelated. We don’t (or shouldn’t) Plan the next war based off of the last do we?

@MikeBlack114 Thoughts on role for discussed 5th Gen (-) low cost F16 replacement?

@wtf1official @XPBImages Livery looks very familiar.

@daniellamyoung The young US COMCAM attached to our (non-US) TG was attacked in the shower in Iraq. I wish a) she had a shower knife, but b) she didn't need a shower knife.

@FFF182 @Frank_O_Dwyer Would a smaller fleet with upgrades (engine, comms, sensors) be useful? Support infrastructure and supply chain all exist. Could also consider a 25mm upgrade to bring inline with threats and peers?

@SigO26BVelma You're welcome :)

@Economissive I think unless you have the 8 hours of unedited video footage w/audio it's hard to determine the 'facts' of this case - especially given the recent u-turns on the principal ones leading to the inquiry.

[Paul Cocker @cocker_paul]

@Economissive Hager has also been shown to be factually incorrect regarding: insurgents in the villages, the fact that no external investigation has occured, the villagers were unarmed etc.

"He accepted that it appeared the military had made a logical decision, given the suspicious circumstances, but said it made the situation a greater tragedy in hindsight."

I say watch the video and read the source documents on the inquiry website.
