Military Makeover with Montel’s Post

I think this is an important paper that anyone who cares about our military and our nation should read. Some of my thoughts: 1. I completely agree with the Culture Shift of Mission Command and "disciplined disobedience." Easy to say - tough to do but we have to embrace it. 2. Agree on all points of technology and the need to operate routinely dispersed, disconnected, and in multi-domain including commercial. 3. The idea of a move towards partial conscription is interesting but I think unworkable. It is not the American Way of War to have a large standing Army and even when we had conscription it was short. Even FDR on the eve of Pearl Harbor would not have been able to get support for the draft and today there is no support. So what do we do? I would have liked to see an embracing of Coalition/Allies. America's super power is that we have friends and our threat does not.

There are two pillars in nation building. One pillar is men and the second pillar is women. When both pillars are strongly placed then the structure of the country is most stable.

US Army Lessons Learned (or not) during the Spanish/American War Artillery performed poorly during the war. The army possessed few modern artillery pieces for training purposes. Therefore, most artillery crews had no experience firing the M1885 3.2-inch field guns they used in battle. Bombardments were consistently inaccurate. Furthermore, maneuverability issues prevented artillery crews from getting to where they were most needed to support the infantry on the battlefield. The army used telephones to connect artillery crews with observation balloon spotters during the war. With the exception of its brief infantry support role during the Battle of San Juan Hill, the army only used the Gatling gun in a defensive capacity. Soldiers employed irregular formations, fire-and-maneuver, and flank attacks during the Cuban and Puerto Rican campaigns. This did not, however, represent service-wide exposure to the new tactics. The war was short, and only about fifty-two thousand troops actually experienced combat. Most commanders believed that allowing soldiers to fire freely would lead to massive wastages of ammunition. Troops still fired in volleys during the war. Soldiers received less than two months of stateside instruction before being sent off to fight. The army sent undertrained regulars and inexperienced volunteers into combat with disastrous results. Troops suffered unnecessary losses launching frontal assaults against fortified positions and Spanish Maxim machine guns. The US owed its victory more to a twelve-to-one numerical advantage than tactical prowess and might not have emerged as a global power had its adversary been a nation other than Spain. Nevertheless, the war is a fascinating episode in US military history and hugely significant in the nation's emergence as a global power. I always make it a point to cover this in my courses. #militaryhistory

Drawing insights from the Army's ethos of teamwork and brotherhood. My military experience taught me the power of unity and shared goals. Translating these lessons to the civilian workforce fosters collaboration, resilience, and a culture of mutual support. I’ve leveraged these invaluable principles for success in both professional and personal arenas. #Teamwork #Brotherhood #MilitaryValues #ProfessionalGrowth"

Top tip! Bring along clothes you love and that show off your personal style! The standard advice on what to wear for your headshot does tend to steer people towards a conservative look. And there are times when it pays to play it safe and follow the company culture! For instance if you are looking to join a new company, or to rise up in the ranks of your current organization, checking to see how the Executive team presents themselves online could provide you with ideas on what to wear for your headshot. But in many instances, especially if you are in a sales, marketing, or creative role, injecting some of your personality into your personal brand can help you to stand out from your competition! More adventurous choices of color, pattern, and accessories can help make you more memorable to your clients and prospects, and to “stop the scroll” here on LinkedIn.
