As we close-out #WorldSpaceWeek, read about our #CoffeeSeries discussion with Lt. Gen. Sean Gainey, Commanding General of the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command, where he spoke about the importance of #space to the US Army. https://loom.ly/APFlNi0

SKYDIVING HOMEWORK: Lessons I learned from Dr. Israel Portillo's Physics I Lecture Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This fundamental principle of physics implies that forces always occur in pairs; when one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body exerts an equal and opposite force back on the first body. In the context of rock climbing, when a climber falls, the padded floor exerts an upward force that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the downward force of the climber's fall, effectively cushioning the impact. For your skydiving homework, this law is crucial in understanding how the skydiver exerts a force on the air as they fall, and the air exerts an equal and opposite force back on the skydiver, affecting their descent speed and stability.

The annual Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiment, facilitated by the U.S. Army Futures Command and hosted by the Maneuver Center at Fort Moore, continues to progress the vision of human and machine integration. This visionary event showcased robotic-enabled maneuver concepts, marking strides towards a paradigm where human and machine collaboration redefines the very essence of warfare. These experiment's outcomes not only guide Army leadership but also underscore the pivotal role Fort Moore plays in steering us toward a future where human and machine integration strengthens our national defense. https://lnkd.in/gZCk5rsR

The U.S. Army evolved into a truly modern fighting force during World War I. When the U.S. entered the war in 1917, the infantry was its primary offensive arm. Training focused mainly on target practice, bayonet charges and marching drills. Antiquated tactics emphasized massive attack waves relying on ferocity to achieve battlefield objectives. Heavy casualties resulted when inexperienced American troops encountered entrenched German veterans trained in the use of modern artillery and machine guns. By war’s end the American Expeditionary Force had progressed along a bloody learning curve, developing sophisticated techniques—small flexible formations, fire-and-maneuver and infiltration—for breaking the trench warfare stalemate. Eventually, the AEF integrated new weapons like poison gas, tanks and aircraft into its offensive tactics and pioneered the mechanized combined arms warfare still practiced by the U.S. Army. The exploits of the Fifth “Red Diamond” Division exemplify this critical period of development. https://lnkd.in/dUg-ttZm #militaryhistory

?? **2024 Maneuver Warfighting Conference** ?? For all #Army professionals, especially those in #logistics, this is a must-attend event. The Maneuver Warfighting Conference isn't just about tactics and strategy; it's where **requirements are shaped**, influencing everything from operational planning to the sustainment efforts that keep our forces moving and ready. ?? As logisticians, we are the backbone of every mission. Understanding where the Army is headed, what challenges are emerging, and how our maneuver counterparts are thinking is critical for shaping the future of sustainment. This is where we connect the dots between supply chains, maintenance, and operational requirements. ?? Join the conversation, engage with the experts, and ensure our logistical operations remain on the cutting edge. Let's be a part of the discussion that will drive our Army forward.

It costs MORE to rebuild than it would have cost to maintain your military Germany between 1989 and 2024 reduced its battalions (active and reserve) by the following %: ? CBRN Defense -63,64% ? Artillery -92,68% ? Reconnaissance -45,45% ? Paratroopers -66,67% ? Signals -66,67% ? Air Defense -100,00% ? Gebirgsj?ger -25,00% ? Panzer -91,76% ? Army Aviation -70,00% ? Light Infantry -96,98% ? Logistics -83,70% ? Panzergrenadier -82,81% ? Engineers -83,33% ? Medical -84,00% ? Bridging -92,86% Total: -87,47% Disbanded the units, paid to have the equipment and materiel scrapped, sold of the bases, and retired the people with the know-how. Wait until the Germans find out how many billions it will cost to rebuilt the Army's Air Defense, which they scrapped entirely in 2012. The Brits, Dutch, Belgians, Danish, etc. will learn this lesson soon too: the peace "dividend" wasn't a dividend, it was a credit taken out of the defense capabilities of Europe. And now that credit is being called in WITH compound interest. It will cost way more now to rebuild our capabilities, than if we had spent a proper 2% on maintaining our capabilities. By Thomas C.

For the best part of the last 30 years most of Westen Europe has been fast asleep, lived under the illusion that no need for any own defence, relying on the pact of NATO and that the US would take care of things. The naivety of this has been clear for anyone to see, and the price it having, and now comes the cost, which will together with that of climate (where same level of total ignorance/indifference also prevailed) come to cost citizens of Europe extortionate amounts of money in years to come.

Learn how the Space and Missile Defense Center of Excellence’s SMD School is using the US Army’s space vision to train expert space Soldiers to combat evolving threats. “In recognizing what our adversaries are doing, it was important for the Army to recognize space as a warfighting domain so we can properly prepare ourselves to deter and compel our adversaries to stop doing things that are counter to the global common,” said Col. Donald Brooks, SMDCoE commandant. “Because of the vision, we know exactly where the Army wants us to go, and that helps us now instruct those students in a much more focused manner.” Read more:? https://lnkd.in/ghHWXXvY U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command
