Podcasts about army major general

This is a conversation to kick off the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. Retired U.S. Army Major General and history buff, Bill Rapp, drops some knowledge on how the colonies weren't exactly gung-ho for a full-blown revolution before April 1775. Turns out, they were mostly ticked off and feeling rebellious in response to intolerable British policies. But a tense situation and an itchy trigger finger set it off. The episode covers the action-packed Battles of Lexington and Concord, George Washington taking charge of the Continental Army, the intense Battle of Bunker Hill (which was actually fought on Breed's Hill), and the clever move at Dorchester Heights that sent the British packing from Boston. William “Bill” Rapp is a retired Major General of the United States Army with 33 years of distinguished service which included combat deployments in three wars, two Defense Service Medals, two Bronze Star Medals, Master Parachutist and Ranger tabs. He was not only a respected Army officer, but also a leadership developer who served as Commandant of the Army War College and Commandant of Cadets at the US Military Academy at West Point.  In over 42 months in combat, Bill led an airborne engineer company in the first Gulf War, commanded a 3,000-soldier brigade in the Iraq War, served as General Petraeus' personal assistant during the Iraq Surge, and commanded over 17,000 troops supplying all resource needs of the 160,000 U.S. and international force in Afghanistan in 2011-12. He also served as the Army's senior liaison to the U.S. Congress. Bill holds a PhD in Political Science from Stanford University and is the author of the book about the Boston Campaign of the American Revolutionary War titled Accomplishing the Impossible: Leadership That Launched Revolutionary Change. He now consults and teaches on leadership and is working on his second book on Sioux and Cheyenne leadership at the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

Jim and Ray welcome Suzanne Vares-Lum, retired U.S. Army Major General, outgoing President of the East-West Center and Director-designate of the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies. Together they explore the geopolitical significance of the geographically vast but sparsely populated Pacific Islands region.They discuss how these small island nations have found themselves in the midst of the great-power competition between the U.S. and China, while many have also become unlikely players in the cross-strait tensions between Taiwan and China. At the same time, the concerns that preoccupy these nations at international gatherings such as the Pacific Islands Forum include illegal fishing and climate change.Suzy explains how the U.S. has been renewing its commitment to many of these countries through education and leadership programs, as well as opening new embassies and funding infrastructure projects. To close, Ray tells the story of when he dispatched a special forces officer to rescue a stuffed animal.

Your Leadership Can Become Dull Like a Knife in Your Home... You Need Some Honing Steal to Sharpen it. Leadership is never something we can fully master. It is an elusive journey to keep growing and going. Many times as leaders, we can get into a rut in our leadership. We can get stagnant. For whatever reason, our leadership has become bland. Then there are those that we lead. Perhaps they have lost faith in our leadership ability. For whatever reason, the followers don't have the same energy around our initiatives. Like a once sharp knife, our leadership has become dull. We need honing steel to sharpen our leadership. Where do you find that?

Major General Tammy Smith discusses her background as a member of the LGBTQ+ community in the US military, her experience as the highest ranking and first out-and-proud Major General, and what her leadership means to the LGBTQ+ community at large.  Tammy Smith is a recently retired Army Major General. At the conclusion of her 35 year career, she was serving at the Pentagon as the Military Advisor to the Assistant Secretary of the Army, the US military's largest service branch with over one million personnel in the Active, National Guard and Reserve force. Upon her promotion to Brigadier General in 2012, mere months after the repeal of Don't Ask/Don't Tell, Smith gained unexpected visibility as the US military's first openly LGBTQ+ General Flag officer. Rather than downplaying the significance of this unanticipated status, Tammy leveraged her role by promoting inclusion and diversity in the Army and Department of Defense, contributing to a culture of acceptance and trust in a post-Don't Ask/Don't Tell military.

Welcome to Game Changers with Jeff Newkirk, where we speak with people who have done something to make this world a better place. It's simple: inspire, educate, and let's go change this world! On today's episode, Jeff continues his conversation with guest Mr. Darrell Guthrie. Mr. Guthrie is a retired U.S. Army Major General and is now a Senior Peace Fellow with the Public International Law and Policy Group. He is also an attorney and co-founder of the Advanced Dynamic Defense Directorate, a national security think tank and business incubator. He is a proud father of four and grandfather of six.  Today, Mr. Guthrie shares about leadership philosophy. To begin, he outlines the 5 key points of his leadership philosophy: be optimistic and proactive, address challenges at the lowest level possible, take administrative and logistic functions seriously, be willing to think and look at things differently, and be okay with imperfection.  The greatest reward as a leader, he and Jeff agree, is to see those you are responsible for move on and up in their careers. The power of thanking people who have done a job well should never be underestimated. Having a well-rounded perspective often leads to making better decisions overall. Mr. Guthrie's favorite point is recognizing that he is not perfect, and neither are other people. Humility is key to being a strong and effective leader. He also explains the difference between chasing perfection vs. chasing excellence.  These 5 points for leadership began to take shape in Mr. Guthrie's mind as he continued to gain more and more experience in leadership. As a lieutenant, which he claims he wasn't great at, he was able to step outside of himself and find his strengths and weaknesses.  The Army is a great place for developing leadership skills because it introduces you to so many different roles and challenges. An important lesson Mr. Guthrie learned in the military is the importance of letting other people do their jobs on their own. If it's not up to standard, then you may have a conversation with them about how they may do better. As a commander, he actively maintained a calm and focused persona who was ready to help soldiers work through problems. But he wasn't always perfect, and shares about the time he let go of his ego and apologized for his previous words and actions. Today, it's rare to see leaders and politicians publicly apologize, because apologizing is often equated with weakness. However, there is a huge difference between being weak and being humble.  Then, Mr. Guthrie shares his view that many corporations and the military are still following these 5 points, though their demands and expectations continue to evolve. He would like to see business leaders and CEOs embrace humility by making profits and benefits more equal for their employees. Treating people nicely and being positive and proactive about the future is the best way to bring up the organization and the people around you. Before cloning out, he discusses the differences between being proactive vs. reactive, especially in leadership roles. Interacting with other people from a place of humility and sincerity goes a very, very long way. Learn more about Jeff Newkirk. Do you have any game-changers in your life?

Mari K. Eder, retired U.S. Army Major General, returns with more stories of extraordinary women who stepped out of line and into history during WWII, forever altering the world's landscape.A renowned speaker and author, and a thought leader on strategic communication and leadership, General Eder is the former Commanding General of the U.S. Army Reserve Joint and Special Troops Support Command, former Deputy Chief of the Army Reserve, and former Deputy Chief of Public Affairs for the U.S. Army.

Welcome to Game Changers with Jeff Newkirk, where we speak with people who have done something to make this world a better place. It's simple: inspire, educate, and let's go change this world!  On today's episode, Jeff welcomes guest Mr. Darrell Guthrie to discuss national security. Mr. Guthrie is a retired U.S. Army Major General and a Senior Peace Fellow with the Public International Law and Policy Group. He is also an attorney and co-founder of the Advanced Dynamic Defense Directorate, a national security think tank and business incubator. He is a proud father of four and grandfather of six.  To begin, Mr. Guthrie shares that he received an ROTC scholarship during the Raegan buildup in the mid-80s. His first deployment was to the first Gulf War. After nine and a half years in active duty, he served 28 years as Commander in the Army Reserve. He explains that being in the military is a lesson on how to be a good leader. Oftentimes, people will follow the movement and actions of a quality leader without even having to hear their commands. After finishing his time on active duty, Darrell decided he wanted to get a law degree.  Then, the conversation shifts to discussing national security and how Darrell found success with his startup. He gives the U.S. a "C" grade for its national security. This grade is made up of several components, including our safety from external threats as Americans. The last significant security threat the U.S. experienced was on 9/11. While we have been safe from threats of this magnitude since then, other factors have not been as positive.  The Army, Navy, and Air Force are facing crisis-level challenges in recruiting enough young people to join. The way to address this problem is by communicating an optimistic method about why it's important to serve our nation. Darrell also explains that our military is not paying significant attention to terrorist groups in Africa, the impact of the cartels in Mexico, and the gangs in Central and South America. Although the world still follows the United States as a world leader, that perspective is becoming more unstable. We must work together to set a positive example and strengthen the reputation of the United States in the eyes of the world. This could be as simple as an American company conducting good business in a foreign country, a soldier who behaves properly in a foreign city, or not letting bad players get away with evil actions. Since the U.S. is a superpower, we must be sure that we are doing this responsibly.   Before wrapping up, Darrell discusses the U.S.'s decision to leave Afghanistan and the problems at the Mexican border, both of which set poor examples of America. The key to restoring our reputation is through quality leadership and keeping our word.Learn more about Jeff Newkirk. Do you have any game-changers in your life?

This Ain't the Boy Scouts – U.S. Army Major General Matthew D. SmithIn this episode of Moments in Leadership, Army Major General Matthew D. Smith and host David B. Armstrong discuss the early parts of his life and career, concluding with his time holding battlespace in Afghanistan without a workup cycle to support that style of operation. His insights offer a different spice to the typical Moments in Leadership ranks as they take into account both National Guard and U.S. Army perspectives. Listeners will hear similarities across this discussion with other Moments in Leadership and will reinforce core leadership traits.  Understanding the difference between child's play and the real consequences of actual leadership is one of the first hurdles a military leader must overcome in their journey. A leader has real responsibilities, ethically and legally, to uphold and must be ruthless in carrying them out, as literal lives depend on it. School and training courses can only prepare you so much and you must learn both academic and practical skills. The only thing you can't get back is time. Leaders need to learn from those who have gone before them and not make the leadership mistake of making a mistake someone learned before you. Being liked is a good skill to have as a leader but being liked is not the end goal of leadership. Subordinates will take care of leaders who take care of them and let those who believe they are ‘above it all' be all alone above them. Subordinates' perspectives should be taken into account, but mission success does dictate all. This is a balancing act and an enduring one leaders must undertake. Standards are standards since they are non-negotiable and are often written in others' blood. To rebuild an organization, one must work on building from the ground up and reinforcing the basics, regardless of what they are, and reinforcing the ‘why' behind the ‘what'. Major General Smith concludes with the importance of understanding the purpose, or goal, of a mission being more important than the task, or how, of the mission. He further discusses how understanding the subordinates below you and how the application of a ‘Napoleon's Corporal' is crucially important to success as they are the lowest echelon to carry out the actual mission and need to understand the stated purpose.  This episode builds off previous Moments in Leadership and shows how core traits of leadership and followership are universal, even in the U.S. Army.   Thank you for supporting the project (below) Please consider supporting this project on Supercast: Moments In Leadership Supercast  Want to support the project AND look cool at the gym or when you take your blouse off for a working party?

Military Medicine goes beyond clinical practice and includes roles such as a joint staff surgeon and leading a major foundation focused on advancing military healthcare. Working in different roles within Military Medicine, such as commanding deployed and CONUS medical units during wartime, offers unique insights into the leadership challenges faced by medical officers in combat environments. The intricacies of military healthcare can be seen in the distinct experiences of managing wounded warriors at major Army hospitals like BAMC and Walter Reed. The intersection of civilian and Military Medicine is crucial in advancing healthcare. One such instance is the Henry M. Jackson Foundation's work in bridging this gap. The diversity of roles within Military Medicine extends to working with different military groups such as Special Forces and Ranger Regiment soldiers, each with unique healthcare needs. San Antonio's medical facilities stand out due to the availability of resources, a Level 1 Trauma designation, the proximity to other medical facilities, and a supportive local community. Military medical research plays a vital role in enhancing the healthcare provided to soldiers, with a focus on meeting unique requirements and adapting to the speed of the warfighter's needs. The recent developments in transgender acceptance in the military highlight the ongoing evolution of military healthcare in line with societal changes. Navigating a career in Military Medicine requires personal resilience, a deep sense of service, and a willingness to continually learn and adapt to new environments and challenges.     Episode Keywords:   Military Healthcare, Medical Officer, Combat Environments, Leadership, Trauma Center, Wounded Warriors, Military Hospitals, Medical Research, Transgender Acceptance, Henry M.

   Join us for a captivating discussion with our esteemed guest, Dr. Brian Lein, a retired Army Major General and General Surgeon with a storied Military Medicine career. Dr. Lein currently serves as Assistant Director for Healthcare Administration at the Defense Health Agency (DHA) and has a wealth of experience at the strategic levels of operational medicine. He peels back the layers of the complex world of military healthcare, shedding light on the intricacies that come with ensuring the health and readiness of military staff on and off the battlefield.     In a thought-provoking conversation, we grapple with the ethical dimensions of battlefield medicine, the future implications of large-scale combat operations, and the role of advanced technology in training medics. Dr. Lein opens up about the vital conversations taking place within the Military Medical community regarding the ethical implications of new technologies and the tough decisions that come with limited resources in combat. We also glean insight into the DHA's role as a supportive entity, working to consolidate the efforts of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Space Force Medicine. Hear all about the DHA's unwavering commitment to maintaining a balance between garrison healthcare and operational medicine and its mission to ensure the readiness of our armed forces.   The conversation was recorded at the 2023 Defense Strategies Institute's Operational Medicine Symposium. Take Home Messages: Military Medicine is a complex and multifaceted field, with challenges ranging from maintaining the health and readiness of military staff to navigating the ethical dimensions of battlefield medicine. Large-scale combat operations could drastically change the nature of battlefield injuries, potentially resulting in more casualties and ethical dilemmas regarding resource allocation. The Defense Health Agency (DHA) plays a crucial role in consolidating the efforts of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Space Force Medicine, striking a balance between garrison healthcare and operational medicine. Advanced technology and simulation are becoming increasingly important in training military medics, with the potential to use historical data to create virtual reality platforms for training. There is a pressing need to engage in ethical discussions regarding using artificial organs and other life extenders and decisions related to resource allocation in large-scale combat operations. The DHA serves as a synthesis of Army Medicine, Navy Medicine, and Air Force Medicine, providing support to these entities and ensuring the military's readiness. Providing care for the families of military personnel is crucial, as it ensures that Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Guardians, and Marines can focus on their duties without worrying about the well-being of their loved ones. The advancement of medical practice in expeditionary environments depends on the latest innovations and opportunities. These advancements require a collaborative effort among military medicine entities. Military Medicine is facing a future where battlefield conditions and medical needs could drastically differ from past conflicts, necessitating adaptation and innovation. There is a growing emphasis on ensuring that military healthcare professionals are prepared for the unique challenges they may face in battlefield conditions, including making difficult decisions under extreme pressure.   Episode Keywords: Military Medicine, Defense Health Agency, Battlefield Medicine, Combat Operations, Advanced Technology, Training Medics, Ethical Implications, New Technologies, Limited Resources, Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Force Medicine, Garrison Healthcare, Operational Medicine, Readiness of Armed Forces Hashtags: #wardocs #military #medicine #podcast #MilMed #MedEd #MilitaryMedicine #BattlefieldEthics #HealthcareInCombat #DefenseHealthAgency #WarDocs #OperationalMedicine #MilitaryHealthcare Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

News and a bit of open phone activity. Later I interview Army Major General retired Joe Arbuckle from Flag Officers 4 America Dot Com. He and 150 0ther flag officers have signed an open letter saying political actions are hurting national security.

On today's ZBT we've got 4 Rounds in the magazine ... Round 1: The Woke General. That's what some in the news are calling him.

Robert W. Mixon, Jr. is a retired U.S. Army Major General, former President of a manufacturing company, EVP of a diverse, innovative not for profit company, and Leadership Consultant. He serves as a faculty member at the Thayer Leader Development Group at West Point and various premier business schools including The Simon School of Business at the University of Rochester, The Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis, and the Cox Business School at Southern Methodist University.   In this episode Dr. Gaye Lang and Robert Mixon discuss: Internalizing tolerance in one's own life  How an organization can benefit from practicing tolerance The value of being transparent and genuine  Being fully committed to tolerance  Key Takeaways:  We must expect leaders to demonstrate their commitment to diversity, inclusion, equity, and tolerance. They have to walk the talk and not just talk it. It has to be a genuine way of life, a genuine belief, and not just a one-time event.  When every leader and every team member commits to practicing tolerance, the whole organization benefits. Organizations that have embraced tolerance have been seen to grow both internally and externally because of it.  You can't fool people. People will know when you're not being genuine. It's best to be transparent. If there's a problem, admit that there's a problem, create a system of change and commit towards getting better.  If you can't be in it to win it, then don't be in it. You can't put one foot in and one foot out. The saying is true in diversity, inclusion, equity, and tolerance. You have to be fully committed to it and really embody the values in your life.    “Training is not episodic, it shouldn't be a one-time event every year or every six months. It should be part of our way we do things… It truly has to be a way of life, if you're going to grow a world-class culture.” - Robert Mixon Connect with Robert Mixon: Twitter: http://twitter.com/levelfiveassoc  Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/LevelFiveAssociates?fref=ts  YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UClp-MK0vsoRaI0yvMdZTs1A  Website: https://www.levelfiveassociates.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/level-five-associates/    Connect with Dr. Gaye Lang: Don't forget to subscribe to the show, so that you don't miss a single episode; and please leave a rating and review.

“Leadership and selfless service in my opinion is a journey and not a destination.” - Clay Hutmacher 6ers, this episode is all about leadership, service, and humility – especially as you transition out of the military and take on new roles. Tony Nash is joined by Clay Hutmacher, a retired Army Major General and president and CEO of Special Operations Warrior Foundation, a non-profit that provides fully funded education to the children of fallen Special Operations personnel and Medal of Honor recipients. You are going to learn why leadership is a journey and not a destination and how you can be of service to others even after leaving the military. Leadership is a continuous learning process, rife with failures along the way. You will find out how a retired two-star general had to accept the fact that he would have to start as a novice again and learn from others after over 40 years of military service. In the end, this episode will make you want to do more for yourself, your family, and others. ----- 00:40 – Introduction 01:25 – Clay dropped out of high school, joined a foster home, and enlisted in the Marine Corps at 17 – which began his over four-decade career in the military. 01:37 – On how he became the CEO of SOWF after retirement 03:08 – One thing from the military that he continues to implement: recommitting himself to his mission every day. These include his family, himself, his physical health “I think renewing that commitment everyday has served me and my family well.” 03:50– He reads a lot of leadership books to educate himself. But he learned most from serving with very talented leaders like General Stan McChrystal, Admiral Bill Craven, and General Tony Thomas: “Each one of them showed me what right looked like in a different way.” 04:45 – “To really be successful as a leader I needed to take care of myself and my family.” 05:29 – His wife is his ego control officer at home. Citing her, Clay says: “Everybody at work tells you how great you are, it's my job to keep it real.” 06:21 – As he embarked on a new leadership journey outside the military, Clay says he is a novice: "I didn't understand a lot of those things, it's expanded my horizons and made me better overall by getting humbled in a new era after having retired as a two-star general.” 07:41 - On failure: “It happens daily. You're gonna fail all the time… Humbling but beneficial as well.” He says it is easy to say to be selfless but it is really hard to do it. 08:19 – “I think the old adage adversity builds character certainly is true.” 09:26 – He talks about the mission of SOWF. He says while veterans and active duty signed up for the military and its consequences, their children and spouses do not. Getting to help them is a blessing, he says. As of late, SOWF is helping 821 children – with the youngest as young as a few months old and the oldest group is college seniors. 11:51 – He clarifies that while SOWF is providing college scholarship, they are more intent on helping for the long-term: “Cradle to career approach,” where they help as early as preschool, they provide tutoring, they fund college education no matter what school the kids would like to go to, they teach time management, they shoulder study abroad programs and internships. 15:36 – In 2020, they have 41 children who graduated high school, with 38 going straight to college, two entering the military, and one who took a year off. Their college graduation rate is also at 93%. In both instances, the rates are well above the national average. 16:26 – He says he has no single big mistake that has led to success. But his series of failures have served him well in becoming a more proficient, compassionate, and humble leader. 17:03 – “I failed multiple times but I tried to be honest with myself on my failure and learn from that failure and get just incrementally better and that continues today.” 18:18 – How is he better than yesterday? Because he continues to be of service to...

What You Need to Know is the plan behind the narrative machine! The narrative machine is the dominant storytelling enterprise of America. It's made up of 3 parts — 1) Big tech, 2) Big Media, and 3) Big government. This group of entities has come together to tell people exactly what to think, what to know, and what to do. They have a brainwashing model and it's very daunting. The first thing to do is realize the problem and then build your own community of knowledge.  Dr. Warren Farrell, speaker, and author, shares his most recent bestseller The Boy Crisis: Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It.
