@rArmyReddit Found this great product from NTC OPS group about 5 years ago that explained what an OPS SGM should do. Used it in counseling with my OPS SGM to set expectations.

Default to recording military Teams meetings. This allows those who couldn't attend to catch up and generates transcripts for AI to create EXSUMs, powerfully enabling organizational situational awareness and decision dominance.

Seeing a lot of energy discussing PME improvements over the last two weeks- recommend directing that energy to the DePuy Writing contest https://t.co/fKivLoRhej.

@BradDuplessis Terrible loss. We were S3s and XOs together. Incredible officer and phenomenal man. One of those people I would have loved to work with again.

Adding to my Kindle wish list...

My annual reading list, containing a range of resources (not just books) from the classics of antiquity through to speculation about future conflict, is now available at Futura Doctrina. Happy reading!

A very good, and topical, book that would benefit some people to read.

From "Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2024"- SECDEF has authority from Congress to transfer up to $6 Billion given certain stipulations. I assume that this pay day maxed out this authorization, and given a stalemate in Congress, 29 OCT will not have an easy solution.

[Daniel Wagner @danieljwagner84]

As MILPER and RDTE are appropriated in different pots by Congress, I am legitimately curious how this will work. There are ways to do transfers between allocations, but it still involves Congress approval/notification and has ceilings to the total amount.

Typhoon missile systems have now been deployed to Japan, Philippines, and Australia. Where will it pop up next? Does this prolong competition and create doubt in adversary plans or does it speed up timetables towards crisis? https://t.co/k4SNgLFdTD

Learned about this during a meeting with MCDID yesterday. Wished I would have leveraged this as a BN XO/S3 to help solve capability gaps using COTS. Want to help your formation innovate from the ground up? Submit nominations to PEO Solider SEP program- https://t.co/ly3zb9dZxS

[Daniel Wagner @danieljwagner84]

This is a phenomenal article by Lance Brender about how to conduct MDMP using risk as the focal point for developing COAs. I believe this would help focus the staff time and efforts- would absolutely use this methodology in the future. https://t.co/cgLW3zX3QH

Would love to see the US military train AI to augment FDO responsibilities. A well trained tool would speed up the process of clearing information and more importantly allow us to collaborate with allies and partners better in competition and conflict.

[Daniel Wagner @danieljwagner84]

Sharing information with parnters and allies is a critical strength to the US military, however due diligence requires us to use foreign disclosure officers to review products/information exchanges. These can be lengthy and time consuming additional duties
