The Cognitive Crucible is a forum that presents different perspectives and emerging thought leadership related to the information environment. The opinions expressed by guests are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of or endorsement by the Information Professionals Association. During this episode, LtCol Brian Schweers discusses the US Marine Corps' All Domain Effects Team (ADET) concept, which is considered to still be in the prototype phase. After describing the historical mission of the Marine Corps' Air-Naval Gunfire Liaison Company (ANGLICO), Brian unpacks the ADET rationale and composition. ADETs are task-organized forces that integrate information capabilities with lethal fires to achieve effects in the forward operating environment across the competition continuum in support of joint, allied, and coalition forces. These teams are intended to provide a scalable, mobile, and lethal force capable of operating across air, land, sea, space, and cyber domains simultaneously.  The first ADET employed in support of joint operations was in September of 2021, during Joint Warrior in Durness, Scotland. 2d ANGLICO and II MIG continue to refine the ADET concept in support of the Commandant's Stand-in-Force Concept. Brian's research opportunity or question to the IPA Community: How do we know that we're achieving effects? How do we measure effects in the cognitive realm and tie it to decision making?

The U.S. Army's Second Brigade of the Third Infantry Division was part of the force that invaded Iraq in March of 2003.  It raced out of Kuwait in Abrams tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles across open terrain, fighting a battle for which they'd trained. Mechanized infantry combined with the tank sledgehammer brushed aside any resistance losing more vehicles to maintenance than enemy action.  Things and the plan changed when the Second Brigade made it to Baghdad.  Instead of encircling the city of seven million people and trying to clear it block by block with dismounted infantry, the decision was made to make a rapier armored thrust into Baghdad, seize the centers of power, and cause Saddam Hussein's regime to collapse from within.  That is what the Second Brigade did and what is chronicled in David Zucchino's “Thunder Run: The Armored Strike to Capture Baghdad.”

This week, the TNQ Podcast brings you the inspiring never-quit journey of Aaron Quinonez – aka “Sgt. Q” – a Marine Corps Veteran, speaker, author, father, and PTSD ambassador. Having been raised in a rough, homeless environment surrounded by people in the drug trade, Aaron became a marine right out of high school. What he didn't know is that his real battle would be fought in his mind. Sgt. Q suffered from depression, anger, and panic attacks and was diagnosed with PTSD. He nearly ended his own life in the parking lot of a church, where later he was redeemed by Jesus Christ, who gave him a new life. When he volunteered to build housing for a family in Mexico, Quinonez was so inspired by the experience that he founded the organization, Q Missions, to bring Veterans together to construct buildings around the world and bring mental healing through mission service. Quinonez authored the book: Healing Thru Service, The Warrior's Guidebook to Overcoming Trauma. In this episode you will hear: I grew up with rednecks, hippies, and pot farmers. Everybody I knew growing up was involved in the drug trade. To be homeless as a kid is a trip. My work ethic came from my mom, struggling to raise four kids as a single mother. I was once on the school bus driving thru the pouring rain and saw a lady carrying two garbage bags, and as we passed I realized - it's my mom. You gotta reposition your mindset from negative experiences to find something positive and focus on that, because what you focus on - your brain will find more of. If you have one trauma, another trauma will stick to it and eventually become PTSD. Your brain is like a weapon – if it's malfunctioning you do a function check, and you get back in the fight. I went from the battlefield to my front door in less than 48 hours, so there wasn't any out-processing. It wasn't until I could overcome the victim mentality that I was able to get my life together. You may have left the battlefield in Iraq, but every day that you wake up and put your boots on the ground, you're on another battlefield – the battlefield of the mind. You can repurpose military tactics to overcome trauma. When anxiety hits, the first thing to do is return fire – speak truth: There's no real threat; There's no real danger: I'm totally in a safe environment. Bring yourself out of that emotional state. 67% of men in America have admitted they've struggled with a mental health crisis. You didn't fight the war alone, so don't fight PTSD alone. Communicate with people and tell them you're struggling.

Healing Through ServiceAaron Quinonez pt 3I grew up in the Vietnam Era. I joined the military straight out of high school just a few years after Vietnam ended. I have seen the effects of what we now call PTSD on friends and fellow soldiers that served prior to my enlistment. I know many of our war veterans back then did not know, nor did anyone else for that matter, what PTSD was or how it affected our veterans. Fast forward 25 years and we understand a lot more about PTSD and its effects. But yet, many of our war veterans still struggle with these battle scars. Some have such a hard time readjusting to civilian life, they decide to take their own life. My guest today has experienced just this sort of turmoil. Aaron Quinonez is a Marine combat veteran who joined the service straight out of high school. Serving 8 years in the Marines and a combat tour in Iraq as part of the Marine 1stANGLICO unit. In case you were wondering about the military acronym for ANGLICO it stands for “Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company” which is the only US Dept. of Defense unit capable of bringing in direct fire support for ground forces from air, sea or land and they are regularly part of special operations forces in combat. Sgt. Quinonez returned to civilian life, only to find that the real battle had just begun. Suffering from depression, anger and panic attacks, he was diagnosed with PTSD. But just being diagnosed with a problem and receiving the needed help are two entirely different things. This affected Sgt. Quinonez (or “Sgt. Q” as he is called now) decided it would be better to just take his own life that continuing in the agony he was facing on a daily basis. Today is the conclusion of a great three part interview with "Sgt Q." He has been sharing how Jesus delivered him, gave him a new life, a new calling and he is now in charge of what is called, https://www.qmissions.org/ (“Q Missions.”) This is a pathway for veterans and fellow warfighters to help them replace the battle scars of their minds with the joy of serving others through building churches, homes, feeding children and suppling precious hope to struggling communities worldwide. Sgt. Q has also authored a new book titled, https://amzn.to/3EShdnN (“Healing Thru Service: The Warriors Guide to Overcoming Trauma.”) Tell us about https://operationpopsmoke.com/ (“Operation Pop Smoke.” ) I know the phraseology for “pop smoke” but how have you used this term to communicate with veterans that need assistance? And your book, https://amzn.to/3EShdnN (“Healing Thru Service: The Warriors Guide to Overcoming Trauma.” ) Why did you decide to publish this book at this time? Who was this book written for? Sgt. Q, this is all so fascinating. And the services you are providing to help struggling veterans has also been recognized by the Veterans Administration, correct? Your book, https://amzn.to/3EShdnN (“Healing Thru Service: The Warriors Guide to Overcoming Trauma”) is a must have for every veteran and families of veterans. Where can someone order your book? Is it on Amazon? If someone has a question about your book or your organization, https://www.qmissions.org/ (“Q Missions”) or https://operationpopsmoke.com/ (“Operation Pop Smoke”) – how can they get in touch with you? Folks, veteran PTSD and veteran suicides are a very real and very serious reality in this country. Just as this condition is very individual in nature, where every person suffers in their own way, the help needs to be individualized as well. Organizations such as those founded by Sgt. Q are not only needful, but directly impacting those who need help and need help now. Your donations are needed – right now. Someone, somewhere is suffering – right now. There is no better time to provide help, than right now. Go down into the show notes and click the links there to get in touch with Sgt. Q and his... Support this podcast

I served 12 years in the Army before leaving service in 1989 and entering law enforcement from which I retired in 2011. But I understand, what we call, the “mindset of the warrior” all too well and consider it an honor to have you on the program today. First question, other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your words, “Who is Sgt. Q – Aaron Quinonez?” Tell us about your preparation for and the transition from combat military life to civilian life and what was provided to you and what was lacking to help you with the transition… And you returned home and entered janitorial services. Did that help or hinder your transition process? Were you married when you were in service? Take us through some of the turmoil PTSD has on a war veteran. I know not everyone suffers the same things or to the same degree. But in general, what are some of the things going on the mind of someone suffering from PTSD?

Josiah Trandahl is a United States Marine Corps Reserves officer with a background in artillery. After serving with Mike Battery in Chattanooga, TN, Trandahl transferred to 4th ANGLICO out of West Palm Beach, FL. We start the show off by talking about Josiah's brewery in Gallatin, TN and some of the hurdles he had to jump to get it opened to the public. Big Trouble Brewing is now open and I wish him well with his new business.In addition, we discussed Trandahl's tour in Afghanistan that saw his ANGLICO team attached to the Georgian Liaison Team that worked with our allied soldiers from the former USSR state. Trandahl and his team worked out of Bagram airfield and days before they were to rotate home they were attacked with a suicide vehicle-borne IED (SVBIED) that resulted in three Marines killed in action.

Kevin Shipton is a former active duty artillery officer that still serves in the United States Marine Corps Reserves (USMCR). This is in addition to his full-time job as a police officer in California. Shipton is a combat veteran and has served with 10th Marines, 6th Marines, 1st ANGLICO, and 3D ANGLICO. In this episode, we discuss life in the USMCR compared to active duty and how Shipton felt about that transition. We also talk about his career path after the Marines that led to him being a law enforcement officer in California. Finally, we discuss different aspects of policing ranging from the effectiveness of tasers on subjects to the laws surrounding the legalization of cannabis in California.Want to be on the Former Action Guys Podcast?https://forms.gle/9MuoSkzBUgNiVgPu5 Support the podcast and website: www.jcramergraphics.com Podcast Links:YouTube: http://bit.ly/formeractionguysYouTubeSpotify: http://bit.ly/formeractionguysApplePodcast: http://bit.ly/formeractionguysAppleSocial Media:Instagram: www.instagram.com/formeractionguys Instagram: www.instagram.com/jcramergraphics Twitter: https://twitter.com/4meractionguys Reference:117 - Backpack-able radio for tactical use148 - Walkie-talkie style tactical radio152 - Walkie-talkie style tactical radio7-Ton - Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (Dump truck-sized military vehicle for hauling troops, supplies, etc.)9-Line - CAS mission brief formatAAV - Assault Amphibious Vehicle (Also called Tracks)ABC - ANGLICO Basic CourseANG - Air National GuardANGLICO - Air Naval Gunfire Liaison CompanyBLT - Battalion Landing TeamBRC - Basic Reconnaissance CourseCAR - Combat Action RibbonCAS - Close Air SupportCCT - Combat Control TeamCLB - Combat Logistics BattalionCO - Commanding OfficerCOC - Command Operations CenterCOP - Combat OutpostCorpsman - Navy medic attached to MarinesEOD - Explosive Ordnance DisposalFAC - Forward Air ControllerFCT - Firepower Control TeamFDC - Fire Direction ControlFET - Female Engagement Team.FSCC - Fire Support Coordination Center.

Before Jason Angell took on the role of Marine Artillery Officer in 2000, he was a Marine Rifleman in the mid-90s. After joining 11th Marines, Jason was billeted as a forward observer and deployed with 1st Battalion 5th Marines with his fire support team during the invasion of Iraq. This was an interesting interview with an in-depth description of multiple combat events during the invasion. I look forward to our next interview where we will discuss his next two Iraq deployments as a JTAC with 1st ANGLICO.
