Major General Brett Sylvia, former commanding general of 101st Airborne Division, and Colonel (Retired) Rich Creed, Director of the Combined Arms Doctrine Directorate, join our host Lieutenant Colonel Jessamyn Jempson on this episode to discuss how the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) transformed in contact between 2024 and 2025. We discuss how the division implemented mobility brigades, fielded C2 fix, deactivated its calvary squadrons and how it operationalized new formations, equipment and technology during division and JRTC exercises. We focus on the command climate that encouraged innovation and risk taking to restructure the division under an accelerated timeline.

As we reflect on 9-11 it is important to assess its impact on today. Former 101st Airborne LTC Brad Miller frames the events of 9-11 as an event that set the conditions for the Covid Operation. Brad frames the worldview of events and discusses the moral injury our nation is still dealing with that has weakened our military, weakened our nation, and that has left us vulnerable for more false flags in the future. #BardsFM #NeverForget #Moral_Injury Bards Nation Health Store: https://www.bardsnationhealth.com MYPillow promo code: BARDS Go to https://www.mypillow.com/bards and use the promo code BARDS or...

MAKING A DESERT: DIOXIN ORDERED FOR CHU LAI BY WESTMORELAND OF MACV AND MATHESON OF THE 101ST AIRBORNE, 1967: 5/8: The Long Reckoning: A Story of War, Peace, and Redemption in Vietnam –by George Black (Author) 1967 4TH MARINES https://www.amazon.com/Long-Reckoning-Story-Redemption-Vietnam/dp/0593534107 The American war in Vietnam has left many long-lasting scars that have not yet been sufficiently examined. The worst of them were inflicted in a tiny area bounded by the demilitarized zone between North and South Vietnam and the Ho Chi Minh Trail in neighboring Laos. That small region saw the most intense aerial bombing campaign in history, the massive use of toxic chemicals, and the heaviest casualties on both sides. In The Long Reckoning, George Black recounts the inspirational story of the small cast of characters—veterans, scientists, and Quaker-inspired pacifists, and their Vietnamese partners—who used their moral authority, scientific and political ingenuity, and sheer persistence to attempt to heal the horrors that were left in the wake of the military engagement in Southeast Asia. Their intersecting story is one of reconciliation and personal redemption, embedded in a vivid portrait of Vietnam today, with all its startling collisions between past and present, in which one-time mortal enemies, in the endless shape-shifting of geopolitics, have been transformed into close allies and partners.

In this powerful Memorial Week episode of The MisFitNation, host Rich LaMonica welcomes U.S. Army Command Sergeant Major (Ret.) Wayne St. Louis, a distinguished Combat Engineer and lifelong servant-leader. With over two decades of service, including leadership roles from Team Leader to Rear Detachment CSM of the legendary 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), Wayne brings deep insight into the meaning of duty, honor, and remembrance. After retiring from the military, he continued serving his brothers and sisters in arms—first through the 101st Airborne Division Association, honoring veterans from WWII to today, and now through a critical consulting role at Booz Allen Hamilton, supporting Army modernization efforts. Wayne's journey exemplifies resilience, leadership, and unwavering dedication to service—on and off the battlefield. Join us as we reflect on sacrifice, legacy, and what Memorial Week means to those who've worn the uniform and those they remember.

Reports of violence in the workplace have escalated over the last 10 to 20 years, despite laws and rules that have been put in place to prevent these situations from happening. So, as a business owner, supervisor or manager, what can you do? Are you prepared to manage a situation once it starts? Better yet, do you know the warning signs and have a plan to deescalate the situation before it starts? Today on the MEMIC Safety Experts Podcast, Command Master Sergeant, United States Army Retired Bart Womack, author of the book, Embedded Enemy, and screenplay for the feature film of the same name, joins me to discuss the issue of workplace violence using his experience, expertise and knowledge from a survivor's perspective on insider threats. https://www.bartwomack.com/

In part two of this interview, Roger Lockshier lays out his dramatic experiences as a helicopter pilot serving in Vietnam. In 1968, at the height of the war, he was routinely sent in on his Huey gunship to support or rescue MACV-SOG Green Beret soldiers secretly operating in Laos and Cambodia. Roger shares his 'birdseye' perspective on several missions—including the most dramatic helicopter rescue you've ever heard. He also expresses his admiration of the incredible bravery of his “Huey” crew and his comrades-in-arms, including the Montagnards, Brus, and Vietnamese he befriended.

We're honored to share his story.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

Time for another palate-cleanser. This time, courtesy of Erik Dorr at the Gettysburg Museum of History, actor Matthew Leitch (Sgt. Talbert, Band of Brothers) joins me to talk about the process of making the hit HBO mini-series (back when they were called "mini-series" and not "limited-series"). Matt is very involved in keeping WWII history alive through tours of WWII battlefields and his own podcast about Easy Company and Band of Brothers.
Ricky Woods ("Woody") had a troubling upbringing and when a judge decided the military would help him shape up, he was off to the 101st Airborn. Though the Vietnam war had just ended, being part of the 101st fulfilled Woody's thrill-seeking behavior but sadly, it didn't end his troubles and he quickly became addicted to drugs and alcohol. He later recovered and started working as a corrections officer, which led him to become a sergeant on the SWAT unit where he finally found some sense of stability. However, addiction reared its ugly head and Woody spiraled into a life of crime, encountering a life or death situation, prison time, and a life-changing medical diagnosis. Join me as I dive into Woody's story of turmoil and understand how he found himself through the chaos, continuing to tell his story of hope.

So yeah, that's all stuff I could have never achieved if I was gettin high.” 58:15

Today we are joined with Michael Franks. Michael joined the Army in 2005 on an 18X contract inbound to Special Forces. Injury changed his course where he then found himself with the historic 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry (No Slack) of the 101st Airborne Division. Michael served in both Iraq and Afghanistan with No Slack and served during the events which were filmed for the documentary Hornet's Nest—specifically the Battle of Barawala Kalay Valley. We highly recommend giving Hornet's Nest a watch if you haven't already seen it. We discuss Michael's experience and feelings during the Global War on Terror, and the meaning many of us learned then, and continue to search for. Since leaving active duty, Michael transitioned to the Army Reserves and for his "day-job," serves as a senior wealth advisor in the Cincinnati, OH area.
