I met the new editor of the CAJ this week and talked to him for a few mins about the state of the journal.  After over a year since submission it looks like my TDG article will get published.  I told him I'd be willing to make more for the journal as well.  The ones we have here would be good...

Damn, I got excited for a second that someone actually wanted to talk about the TDGs.....

I thought the same.  You can probably afford a little less infantry protection if you don’t penny packet your tanks.  I always think of the stories I heard about M1’s raking their fellow tanks with coax to get the Iraqis crawling all over them.

The title says it all. https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/f07hac/a_good_example_of_why_a_tank_shouldnt_be_left_wo/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Thoughts continued. 5.  There is a significant battle to be fought in the covering force area that I think sometimes gets paid short shrift.  Covering forces are there to deceive the enemy as to the location of the MDA as well as delaying and attriting the enemy.  They will also provide...

Spent some time over the last few days reviewing Jim Storr's new book again and discussing the issues with another person who enjoys this stuff. He has enlightened me on some of his conclusions based on his historical research.  Some of the stuff we've talked about: 1.  From a coy perspective...

We've discussed structure, and deep operations.  To this I'd like to add reconnaissance and security (R&S). The US is looking at potentially re-establishing R&S formations to enable Divs and Corps maneuver. This sees Divisions and Corps shaping deep operations and enabling the close fight for...

It seems like the general consensus is that cell phones and social media are a threat. I would suggest that we need to see them more as a tool and a reality of our culture and operating environment. We can't just turn back time and make them go away. We need to understand their strengths and...

I’m in the process of rereading Thinking Fast and Slow for my research project here at JCSP and it has some insight on how things like this should be done.  A simple formula that identifies critical attributes and assigns them scores will likely result in better candidates than informal...

China sees it the same way. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00396330802173214?journalCode=tsur20

Ballz has the relevant points all wrapped up.  I will only add that after a few months of cajoling we've managed to get PSP to buy mats for CFC, so we will have a grappling program running here after Christmas with a BJJ black belt instructing and me supporting. We're moving in the right direction.

You were able to download Armored Brigade for free a few years back.  I dumped a few hours into it.  Not as user friendly as many other games made by larger studios.  I would see if you can still download the betas fro free.

Here are two similar articles from experiences at NTC but not strictly limited to infantry tactics. http://companyleader.themilitaryleader.com/2019/04/04/attacking-razish-part-i/ http://companyleader.themilitaryleader.com/2019/04/05/attacking-razish-part-ii/ Things I noticed: 1. The...

Really liked the second article from the Bn Comd.  This is from the article.  The bolding is mine.  You can find a map of NTC at this link https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3599258.  Brigade hill is in the 3200 5000 Grid square (the map is from some game and so the grids are a little...

I've had this article open in my browser for two months now, finally got around to reading it.  My previous thoughts remain extant but two other points came up. 1. The US is good at having standards.  Where is Canada's gunnery table?  What is the gateway training required, other than bore...

It seems to me like which COA we choose will be dependant upon how comfortable we are with robots pulling triggers. The less comfortable the more distributed our people will be.

I think this is where we need to start thinking differently about state on state conflict.  State on state conflict is a distinct possibility and we need to figure out what it will look like because it won't look like World War 2.  If such a war were to kick up and we fought in a manner where...

To my previous comment I would also add that sections likely need some kind of anti air ability.  Primarily to bring down UAS but if they could have the ability to shoot down helo's as well then all the better.  They will also likely need some kind of small UAS of their own.  This sees a section...

The Mech Infantry dilemma of how do you train for so many skill sets and then what happens when you are inevitably tasked to go on a mission that doesn't require one or either skills sets affects the entire army.  How many gunners do we have deployed right now pulling lanyards?  How many tankers...

I think one of the critical tasks we need to figure out is how do we defend in the current environment.  That seems like it's out most likely task either in Europe or even if we were to head somewhere in Asia.  The ATGM seems critical to that, at least in Europe.  In Asia perhaps it's the MG. ...
