Military Health Specialist states: “Obesity rates among Gen Z are alarming, with over 56% of 18- to 25-year-olds falling into this category. These individuals are often ineligible for military service due to the stringent physical fitness requirements.” We spend billions building weapons and nothing developing personnel to use them? The Army, Navy, and Air Force can be the champions of youth exercise and begin developing a new generation of warriors by dedicating 1/10,000 of their budget to youth exercise in schools. #army #navy #airforce #marines #military #armedforces

#ForceDesignFriday The Commandant of the Marine Corps recently released FRAGO 01-2024, indicating "Force Design set us on a critically necessary path – one that will continue." [https://lnkd.in/e5C-xmSA] Historical context indicates this is not a new phenomenon, as any military is subject to balance available resources including budgets, personnel, and equipment while satisfying statutory and strategic guidance. As the USMC continues to pursue FD2030, it is worth reflecting on previous force changes the USMC has pursued, almost four decades ago. "Personnel reduced at battalion level. Firepower up 25%." Formations and technology will continue to change which means PERSONNEL will continue to be the critical difference. People > Technology Image: General P.X.

Today marks the 248th birthday of the U.S. Navy. The birth of this fleet initiated quite a debate in the Continental Congress. Samuel Chase, one of the Founding Fathers, firmly believed that maintaining a standing navy was “the maddest idea in the world.” The original Continental Navy was founded, dissolved, and has since evolved into today’s modern Navy, which stands at an impressive level of readiness. There are currently 335,187 active duty service members, 272,505 enlisted personnel, and 191,597 Navy civilians. The US Navy has protected the country throughout its many wars. There are 27 National Medal of Honor recipients from the Navy buried or memorialized at ABMC hallowed sites. “Non sibi sed patriae” – (“Not self, but country”) - Unofficial slogan of the U.S. Navy. In the picture: The surrender of Japan to Allied forces on the USS Missouri on September 2, 1945. #Navy #USNavy #army #military #WeRemember #abmf #theydied4us
