Lieutenant-General Sir Brian Gwynne Horrocks, KCB, KBE, DSO, MC (7 September 1895?– 4 January 1985) was a British Army officer, chiefly remembered as the commander of XXX?Corps in Operation Market Garden and other operations during the Second World War. Despite a rather desultory showing at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, he nonetheless rapidly became a superb leader at every rank and appointment in the British Army of the two world wars- a leader regarded with affection and respect by every rank above and below him. During in the Great War, as platoon commander of 16 Platoon, First Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment, Horrocks 'came to greatly admire Captain Gibbons, along with his platoon sergeant, Sergeant Whinney. Once, while it was pouring with rain, the officers of the battalion were offered billets in a comfortable farmhouse, while the other ranks slept in a field covered with manure which had recently been departed by some cows; Captain Gibbons was furious, insisting that the officers should share in the misery of their subordinates. "My heart sank but I knew instinctively that he was right", Horrocks later wrote. Douglas Delaney writes that the "willingness of soldiers to follow was constructed on gestures like this. It is interesting how some events, though seemingly insignificant in the bigger scheme of things, become embedded in memory, making lifelong memories of themselves."' Simon Sinek speaks of how successful and authentic leaders 'eat last'. Horrocks, being respected, liked, and even adored by the men under his command, became an exemplar of this 'leaders eat last' sort of behaviour which endeared him to them, and inspired them to follow him into battle. Leaders in any high-reliability, absolute-liability organization ought to remember this. You can make your subordinates obey you, but you cannot make them respect you. https://lnkd.in/gxhdhF9n Langley Sharp MBE #BritishArmy #Sandhurst #servantleadership #airborne #infantry #leadership #WW2 #militaryhistory

LTG Jensen, director of the Army National Guard and U.S. Army School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) #amsp alum, shares his thoughts on command and the role of the National Guard in today's Army. Kudos to a couple of our resident National Guardsmen Jesse Valles and Russ McKelvey for hosting a great #oparch show! A few thoughts that stuck with me: (1) Solve problems at your echelon. This means enabling the headquarters below you and understanding the mission of your higher headquarters to be at the right place, time and with the right capability to help them win. (2) Every component has a role (Active, Guard, Reserve). Be clear on expectations and invest the resources to ensure you get the right capabilities in the time you need them. (3) Mobilization - it's hard on paper, harder to imagine what it will be like in "real life". We won't know unless we rehearse.

Maj Gen Roberson visited 7th Special Forces Group September 2022. During a town hall meeting, I pointed out the CDC recently stated there is no distinction between how vaxxed & unvaxxed individuals should be treated & that my religious exemption had been pending for a year. I then asked if there is any talk of removing the mandate. He responded, “have you heard of Novavax?,” to which I said, “yes sir, it uses aborted fetal cells too.” He seemed flustered at my retort. This led to a long answer on how if the US Army asks you to do something you should do it. That he doesn’t want to kick anyone out but will. That the Army is trying to find a middle ground with Novavax so the unvaxxed should take it. After that conversation I decided to leave the Army rather than wait for my exemption to get denied & risk receiving a less than honorable discharge. Even though MG Roberson probably had an amazing career for which I’m grateful, his response is indicative of careerism & moral weakness at the flag officer level. Generals facilitated in discharging & forcing out tens of thousands of service members & pushed an experimental drug after it had been shown to cause negative side effects. (See Karolina Stancik & Drew Outstanding) I ask that House Armer Services Committee Republicans hold a series of hearings to point out & fix problems from the VAX mandate & ensure it never happens again. DoD leaders should also take a hard look in the mirror to assess their part in this debacle that continues to weaken the force. Finally, please sign the DMA petition if you believe these leaders must be held accountable. Militaryaccountability.com

Excellent introduction to the SCC aspect of H2F. A key component is injury prevention through appropriate and consistent PT. As this program expands ultilization, it's impact will be felt down the road as injuries go down and more adaptable soldiers are developed. Combined with the other resources within H2F, the program will strengthen and improve the quality of life for service members. #H2F

I have to concur with Avanulas "Vann" Smiley - the article succinctly summarizes how the experiences of the Ranger add to any organization and our society at large. RLTW! https://lnkd.in/g7VaC6ZJ

For people wondering what good comes from this system and the full implications for the actual warfighter, I'll say this. In 2010 during the invasion of Marjah (Operation Mashtarak), the marksmanship, or lack-of precision shooting was exposed. We had problems outside 300 on movers. Some had problems even closer. As a Small Unit Leader, if I would have had this technology, my squad would have started the deployment in the manner it ended the deployment. Changes were made on the move that would have been observed with CK training, and adjusted before the push. Marines were trained to a standard, instead of training past it. Though shooting has come a long way, we can never stop enhancing and refining the art. CK systems do just that. They allow a Squad Leader to push his men past the standard and maintain perishable skills, all while using no ammunition, ranges, or higher RSO/OIC supervisors. Being able to analyze your men in a cognitive fasion, allows for enhanced talent management in the squad/platoon/company levels. ~See first, Hit first~

I highly recommend accessing these and seeing what our competitive writters are writting about, how they are writting, and consider what your topic would be for next year. Just doing the first two will make you better in your profession. What topics are we missing?

In my life I've had many ask, and I know others wonder, what makes the Marine Corps unique and why do we insist on calling ourselves Marines, not Soldiers? It's because, seen below, to become a Marine is one of the hardest things to do in the US military. A US Marine's basic requirement, The Crucible, is in the top 3 hardest training in the US armed services with Navy Seal and Army Ranger training. The difference is EVERY Marine must go through the Crucible before they can graduate Boot Camp and earn the title of a US Marine. Not all make it but if you do, you never forget it. In contrast, the Navy's "Seal"and Army's "Ranger" training are specialize for advanced combat readiness in their branch and not part of their core competencies. You must be selected to go to those and very few are. The mission of all 3 trainings is to be first to the fight and ready under any geographical condition using any form of mobility available. This is why we call ourselves Marines and not soldiers and the same reason Ranger call themselves Rangers and Seals called themselves Seals. Not to disparage any other branch of our beloved armed forces. Everyone of us signed the line to give our life for a greater cause and that makes everyone who served selfless heroes.
