An engineering officer and logistician abroad. Doing my best to challenge my assumptions and learn every day.

@REME_MUSEUM @HistorianBlood @whincupm @Official_REME Couldn’t agree more. The whole @REME_MUSEUM team are amazingly helpful and a joy to interact with.

@SCoE_CASCOM @USAODCorps @USArmy_QMS @usacac @TRADOC It was great to part of the DCG’s visit to CASCOM. A highlight was meeting the amazing Ordnance trainees who are near completion of those vehicle mechanics course. All of them should be proud of what they’ve achieved and what their doing for their country.

@OAlexanderDK RECOVERY is essential for operationally critical equipment, especially low population kit. REPAIR can be conducted where you chose but at pace. Without effective logistics you’re only one tactical action away from defeat. @JonWesty76 @_Al_Sha_ @IJasonPhillips @Official_REME

Boston and the USA, you’ve been amazing. Discovery is now heading offshore towards Nova Scotia. Still time for a birthday lunch onboard though. Fingers crossed for whales, dolphins a and fair winds. @JSASTC @BritishArmy @RoyalNavy @RoyalAirForce @BritishArmyUSA @UKdefUS

[David Reith @theBritatCASCOM]

As Discoverer prepares for three days at sea they enjoy a breakfast of home cooked pancakes, berry compote, fresh fruit, and coffee. #teamwork @UK_DA_USA @UKdefUS @JSASTC @BritishArmyUSA @Official_REME @DianeKing94 @RoyalAirForce @RoyalNavy Next stop Nova Scotia!

Sail training ship Discoverer docks in Boston for Memorial Day Weekend after sailing from New York via Newport and Cale Cod Canal. Teamwork, resilience and discipline. Air, Land & Sea working as one. @BritishArmyUSA @UKdefUS @Official_REME @JSASTC

[David Reith @theBritatCASCOM]

Sail Training Ship Discoverer departs New York today with a crew of a civil servant, reservists, FTRS, and regular with Army, Navy and RAF represented. Watch out for us passing the Statue of Liberty this morning. @DianeKing94 @UKinUSA @UKdefUS @BritishArmy @JSASTC

Imagine a world where sustainers can connect to the right SMEs, access AI and ML, see global inventories & spare capacity with ease. Sustainment Transformation starts with data. LogIS & connectivity. @JonWesty76 @IJasonPhillips @Phil_Prosser_13 @LogisticThinker

[David Reith @theBritatCASCOM]

We’ll worth a few minutes of your time. Another strand highlighting that data is at the heart of the coming Sustainment transformation. @JonWesty76 @Official_REME @ColREME @UKArmyLogistics @BLOArmyFutures @ArmyMedServices @Phil_Prosser_13 @REME_CAE

@SCoE_CASCOM @FortGreggAdams can you help reunite these medals with the soldier’s family?

[Irish Ranger (Sevvy) @VeteranIrish]

🧵 1/2. Folks this is an unusual one but can any of my US Vets and friends help out with this and who to notify?

🔴❗️PLEASE SHARE ❗️🔴

Found in a storage shed on a piece of property south of Vicksburg, MS. We would love to give this back to its rightful owner/family!

@_Al_Sha_ @BritishArmyUSA @BritishArmy @DCrook70 @UKdefUS @UKinUSA @JonWesty76 @IJasonPhillips And both Sustainers - people need role models. You can’t help but be inspired by them both. All achieved with dignity and respect. Can’t wait to tell every visitor to the Fort the story of its namesakes.

[David Reith @theBritatCASCOM]

An honor to be at the official redesignation of Fort Lee as Fort Gregg-Adam’s. General Gregg is one of the guest speakers; enlisted soldier to 3 star. If you see it you can be it. @BritishArmyUSA @BritishArmy @DCrook70 @UKdefUS @UKinUSA @JonWesty76 @IJasonPhillips @_Al_Sha_

[David Reith @theBritatCASCOM]

@_Al_Sha_ @BritishArmyUSA @BritishArmy @DCrook70 @UKdefUS @UKinUSA @JonWesty76 @IJasonPhillips Lt Col Adams joined as a Pte in 1942. First black woman officer, first black Lt Col and only woman to command a unit overseas in WW2. As CO she completed a 6 month task in 3. Achieved all this while still being active and outspoken against discrimination. Real courage.

[David Reith @theBritatCASCOM]

@_Al_Sha_ @BritishArmyUSA @BritishArmy @DCrook70 @UKdefUS @UKinUSA @JonWesty76 @IJasonPhillips Gen Gregg - joined a segregated all black Bn in 1946 as a Pte soldier. First black 1*, first black 3*. When he did his Capt’s course at Fort Lee he wasn’t allowed in the Offrs’ club that now bears his name (it’s also no longer just an offrs club. He still mentors Generals.

[U.S. Army Fort Lee @FortLeeUSArmy]

The Army installation formerly known as Fort Lee became Fort Gregg-Adams during a historic redesignation ceremony at the Gregg-Adams Club April 27, 2023, becoming the first Army installation named for Black military members.

General Gregg - still as sharp as ever. Hugely inspiring.
