#Landforces2024: Carl Coffman, Bell’s Vice President, Military Sales and Strategy presented Bell’s @USArmy Modernization: Future Vertical Lift. Coffman was joined by U.S. Army customer, Lieutenant Colonel Zachary Keefer, #FLRAA Development and Production Product Manager. “It’s time now that we take a marked step in capability revolution. Until you get in a tiltrotor and you operate at those speeds and those distances, you aren’t going to have a marked maneuver revolution in your capability.” #Tiltrotortechnology #FVL #ArmyModernization

Task Completion and the Pitfall of Perfection: This is an article that I wanted to write and share with you as I believe it is important for all of us. How perfect is too perfect? How can managers task people with clear direction? My experiences as a leader in the Canadian Armed Forces | Forces armées canadiennes made me who I am today. #leaders #Veterans #transition

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.

Hierarchical Structure : Indian Army Major General (two-star) A Major General, commonly referred to as a two-star general, is a senior rank in the military, typically in command of a division or equivalent large unit, consisting of thousands of personnel. This rank is significant in various global military forces, including the Indian Army, U.S. Army, and British Army. Major Generals hold substantial responsibilities, overseeing strategic operations, planning large-scale missions, and managing resources across diverse units. Their role is essential in both wartime and peacetime, as they coordinate high-level tactics and operations. Achieving this rank often requires years of dedicated service, exceptional leadership skills, and strategic acumen. #uswc #majorgeneral #militaryrank #twostargeneral #militaryleadership #armedforces

This could be the climate/culture game changer that the military needs. Culture is an intangible aspect of sustainable military operations that is often overlooked due to high turnover rates and operational tempo. We allows the ebbs and flows in readiness and chalk it up to a normal part of military business. I think that if we linked cultural sustainability to the promotion systems, it would add a new element to commanders intent. If Commanders started saying no to tasking and increased operational capabilities and tempo due to the projected impact on command climate, how would that sit at the higher echelons? I would stray to say that no one would be happy Sounds good in theory but the system is tainted from a much higher level, and this would take decades to have a meaningful impact.

Hierarchical Structure : Indian Army : Colonel A Colonel in the Indian Army occupies a senior officer role, commanding a regiment or battalion, typically comprising around 600-1,000 soldiers. Ranked above Lieutenant Colonels and below Brigadiers, Colonels are responsible for tactical planning, strategic execution, and maintaining unit discipline and morale. They ensure combat readiness, oversee training, and implement directives from higher command structures. Often experienced, Colonels may have served for 15-20 years, showcasing leadership and operational skills. This rank plays a crucial role in bridging high-level commands with field operations, ensuring that both strategic goals and immediate combat needs are effectively met across the regiment or battalion. #uswc #indianarmy #colonel #militaryrank #leadership #tacticalplanning #strategicexecution #armystructure #fieldoperations #militarycommand

Meet ✨ Andy Rounds, ✨ production manager in our Charleston, SC branch. Thank you for your service, Andy! 🙏💚 #ThankYouVeterans #VeteransOfRuppert #ThankAVeteran #Veteran's Day 𝗜𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗸/𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲?

I can look at situations I face now and then look back and realize the current situation isn’t as hard as some situations I was in while in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Get to know your people on a personal level so you can understand their situation and motivations. Then you can tailor your leadership approach to put them in the best situation to succeed.

Hierarchical Structure : Indian Army Brigadier (one-star) In the Indian Army, a Brigadier holds the one-star rank and is the first in the general officer ranks, above Colonel and below Major General. This rank signifies considerable responsibility, as Brigadiers typically command a brigade, which consists of around 3,000-5,000 troops, including multiple battalions. They play a crucial role in strategic planning, coordination, and execution of military operations. Reporting to higher-ranking generals, Brigadiers ensure that operational goals are met and that their units maintain high levels of readiness and discipline. This rank represents both leadership and expertise, forming a key link in the army's hierarchical command structure. #uswc #indianarmy #brigadier #militaryrank #armystructure

Army leadership at a round table: Hey guys we should really think how we can improve the three tenants of fitness: Physical/Mental/Spiritual. 1.     Maybe we can stablish a 24hr gym access on every military installation. Monthly gym vouchers for those not near a military installation i.e. Recruiters, Nat. Guard, Reserves. 2.     An incentive/reward program for fitness achievements such as high fitness scores, weight loss goals, etc. You know what Soldiers love the most? (Time off & Money) 3.     We could do a study on the food we are serving at the Chow Halls. Let’s figure out why Service members rather eat out than eat at our facilities. 4.     We need to compare notes with our sister services and find out what has work for them and what has not? I’m pretty sure every branch has spent millions of dollars on this type of research, and we could share the information based on lessons learn. The SOF community has been doing this type of research for years and they are some of the most elite warrior athletes in the world. Let’s reach out…. Army leadership: Guys, all those are great but…. You know what. I got it… A new PT Uniform…that’s what we need. ‘If we’re going to be fit, then we’re also going to look good’ New generation of leaders, same old concepts and mentality. Just re-brand the old ideas in a new Power-Point… Stick to basics. Good order and discipline. Get rid of death weight (career Officers & NCO’s just coasting until retirement) Promote talent, reward competence and effectiveness. Reward hard work, discipline, and those who go the extra mile… Figure out how to fix the recruiting of quality and qualified people. Invest in your junior Soldiers early on so they don’t leave… Great talent leaves our ranks daily because lack of opportunities, family stability, and disparity in pay between the Civ population and the Mil… Invest in engraining patriotism back in our communities…
