Check out the latest issue of Joint Forces Quarterly (Vol. 114) for an article co-authored by the Director of JAWS, Director of JCWS, and the Commandant of JFSC. “Jointness as Virtue: Increasing the Value of Joint Qualification to the Joint Force and Services” Abstract: Ιn “Balancing Nonresident Joint Professional Military Education With Military Life,” Commander Doug Morea makes the salient point that the current joint professional military education (JPME) process fails the individual joint warfighter in preparing for the challenges of serving in combatant commands and other joint forces.1 As joint educators, we agree with Commander Morea’s premise and offer that the current JPME model not only fails the individual joint warfighter but is also wholly inadequate for what the joint force requires both today and in an uncertain future. From the start, the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense (DOD) Reorganization Act of 1986 enshrined JPME and the joint qualification process as a forcing function to reduce unhelpful parochialism and achieve unified action. Even today, a compromised system still exists, lacking standardization across the enterprise and persistently delivering educated officers too late and short in supply at all echelons of the joint force.

Gen. Curtis LeMay famously stated, "We go to war with the army we have." But Col. Purcell's insight, "We go to war twice a year," takes this a step further. It underscores the constant need to evolve our military capabilities. The V-22 Osprey embodies this philosophy. It's not just about replicating existing missions; it's about unlocking entirely new possibilities. The V-22 is a testament to our commitment to staying ahead of the curve. It's not just about winning the fights we have today, but being prepared for the unforeseen challenges of tomorrow. #V22Osprey #MilitaryInnovation #NationalSecurity

In short, what is our military's "true advantage"? The Pentagon gives its frontline non-commissioned officers and their charges -- all very young adults by and large -- full control and autonomy over the missions. Imagine for a moment the enormous economic advantages we could build if American enterprises large and small would have the courage to give their front line employees the kind of continuous training, trust, autonomy and decision making power the Pentagon gives its young people in uniform.

The DoD said Thursday DLA launched a competitive acquisition process and received 14 offers for the IDIQ contract, which will support the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Coast Guard. The FFP contract has a two-year base period and four two-year option terms and is a follow-on to a five-year IDIQ contract awarded in March 2019. The awardees are: ADS L.N.

The hidden strength of the U.S. military lies in its empowered noncommissioned officers. Unlike many other countries, the U.S. invests unusual authority in its NCOs, allowing them to make crucial decisions on the battlefield. This approach has proven effective throughout history, and as technology advances, the role of the NCO is becoming even more vital. The U.S. military's success story underscores the importance of empowering employees and fostering a culture of trust in any organization. #NationalSecurity #Leadership #Entreprenuership #INDOPACOM #CENTCOM #EUCOM #SOUTHCOM #NORTHCOM #SPACECOM #SOCOM #AFRICOM #TRANSCOM #CYBERCOM #STRATCOM #DOD https://lnkd.in/dEuyfBC2

The reality of the Newly Privatized Miltray Moving Monopoly. USTC and HNS have publicly declared that the GHC contract is not designed for owner-operator independent contractors. This decision has effectively marginalized 80% of the moving industry without a viable alternative plan in place. They have consistently failed to meet the benchmarks they set for themselves, most recently falling short in completing 400 moves. Their next goal is to provide service for 1,000 families in October, a target I consider to be highly ambitious given their previous performance. In a recent discussion, HNS President Bobby Nichols stated that under the current system, they only have access to 20% of the industry, while under HNS, they claim to have access to the entire industry. While this perspective may be accurate from their viewpoint, it appears Mr. Nichols may not fully grasp that before the establishment of HomeNOTsafe, the military enforced specific standards, including fiscal responsibility and warehousing requirements. Unfortunately, under HNS, these standards have been relaxed to permit any mover who meets the insurance policy, including those sourced from platforms like Craigslist, to participate. When I say there is nothing within the system that truly enhances quality, it reflects the current reality. The arrogance and lack of industry expertise displayed by HomeNOTsafe and USTC, along with a disregard for the needs of military families and mismanagement of the contract, have led to this decline. Consequently, the DPS system must remain intact and unchanged, as there are simply not enough companies with the necessary employee workforce infrastructure to replace the 80% of the industry that has been excluded from military moves by USTC and HNS.

Proper Human-Machine Partnership (yes Partnership vice Integration is used on purpose) if fielded, trained, then cyclically improved will increase not only maneuver capabilities, but enable commander decision-space while driving down risks to the force. The possibilities are wide and deep. But we must never forget the enemy is doing the same, most of the time without the acquisition difficulties and bureaucracy found in the US DOTMLPF process.

FORT MOORE, GA: On May 21, 17 students representing the countries of Colombia, Mexico, and Panama walked the stage here at #WHINSEC. They completed the 5-week and were presented their respective diplomas. This course prepares security force personnel in individual tasks associated with skills and knowledge to function as advisors or planners in crisis management during military operations or initial response activities in collaboration with the interagency and multinational community. After the course, students receive training in advising decision-makers on the skills, tasks, and employment of advisors in crises when interacting with the population. #NCOLeadTheWay | #OneEthicalLeaderAtaTime #strenghteningpartnerships | #GeneratingReadiness US Army | US Army TRADOC | U.S. Army Combined Arms Center | United States Southern Command | U.S. Northern Command

Read the latest publication from our partners at #CANSOF, linked in the SOF-Related Publications section of our homepage: Jsou.edu/press. Force Multiplier: Utilization of SOF from a Small State Perspective edited by Bernd Horn and Hans Ilis-Alm “The military has always been a key instrument of national power. Its strategic utility for defending the nation and furthering the national interest using direct military force or by assisting friends, allies, coalitions and/or international organizations has earned it a voice in national security policy formulation and implementation. The three traditional [Canadian] services, the Navy, Army and Air Force, have for a long time been recognized as key players in this strategic context. Special Operations Forces, however, do not share this long history.” #SOF

This week of Project Convergence - Capstone 4 experimentation at Fort Irwin, Calif., has focused on Human Machine Integration. Soldiers are experimenting with how the small tactical unit can fight in the future with increased lethality through robotic-enabled maneuver. Watch the video below to learn more about how Soldiers are looking for creative and effective ways to use machines to protect and preserve human formations.
