The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the eighty-sixth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the Task Force Senior for the BDE Command & Control (BCT HQ), LTC Timothy Price on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guest is the Deputy Commander of Operations Group (DCOG), LTC Ian Ginty. As the DCOG, LTC Ginty primarily focuses on assisting units through the Reception, Staging, Onward Movement, and Integration (RSOI) process, facilitating sustainment operations, and providing leadership roles within the fictitious division staff as the BCTs higher headquarters.   In this episode, we delve deeply into the often-overlooked yet critical role of wargaming within the military decision-making process (MDMP), emphasizing its importance as a tool to synchronize plans and anticipate operational challenges. Wargaming is not merely a procedural step but a vital exercise in critical thinking, requiring robust staff participation and commander leadership. Topics included the necessity of a well-developed enemy plan, staff synchronization, and the importance of understanding the cascading effects of operational decisions across all warfighting functions. The conversation also underscored the pitfalls of rushed or incomplete wargaming, which can lead to chaos and poor transitions during execution phases.   We further explore the challenges and best practices for integrating wargaming into unit training, particularly at home-station. We highlight the importance of rehearsing wargaming with a rules-based approach to build staff experience and enhance their ability to identify and address points of friction. By conducting tabletop exercises and leveraging simulations, units can refine their processes, ensuring that gaps in synchronization and sustainment planning are addressed before field operations. The discussion reinforced that a disciplined approach to wargaming not only prepares units for combat but also develops critical thinkers who can adapt to the complexities of large-scale combat operations.   Part of S01 “The Leader's Laboratory” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the eighty-fourth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the Task Force Senior for the BDE Command & Control (BCT HQ), LTC Timothy Price on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guest is the Deputy Commander of Operations Group (DCOG), LTC Ian Ginty. As the DCOG, LTC Ginty primarily focuses on assisting units through the Reception, Staging, Onward Movement, and Integration (RSOI) process, facilitating sustainment operations, and providing leadership roles within the fictitious division staff as the BCTs higher headquarters. In this episode, the conversation focuses on the critical challenges of reconnaissance and security tasks for infantry brigades and battalions in the wake of Army Force Structure changes (ARSTRUC). With the removal of cavalry squadrons from Infantry Brigade Combat Teams (IBCTs), leaders now face the reality of redistributing these tasks within their formations. The discussion emphasizes how companies and battalions must adapt to perform reconnaissance and security functions traditionally carried out by their cavalry scout brethren. Best practices include rethinking task organization, enhancing training for company and platoon leadership, and providing clear reconnaissance guidance to effectively support decision-making at the brigade level. The importance of a detailed operational framework and disciplined staff planning to manage these new responsibilities is highlighted as key to success. Additionally, the discussion covers the challenges of integrating new technology to support reconnaissance and security operations without relying solely on these tools as a solution. While unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and other sensors offer enhanced capabilities, the speakers emphasize that effective reconnaissance begins with clear intent, disciplined initiative, and rigorous training. Leaders must develop the intellectual framework necessary to synthesize information quickly and support timely decisions. The conversation also stresses the need to prepare company commanders and platoon leaders to assume greater responsibility for reconnaissance tasks, promoting adaptability and ensuring that infantry units are capable of meeting the demands of large-scale combat operations (LSCO) in a post-ARSTRUC world.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the sixty-eighth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the former Commander of Ops Group (COG), COL Matthew Hardman. Today's guest is the Commanding General of the Joint Readiness Training Center and former COG, BG Jason Curl.   BG Curl commissioned as an infantry officer from the United States Military Academy in 1995 and has served in a variety of maneuver assignments. As the CG at the Joint Readiness Training Center, he has the Hollywood call-sign of “Warrior 06.”   In this episode, we dive into the pivotal role combat training centers (CTCs) play in preparing brigade combat teams (BCTs) and divisions to fight and win on tomorrow's multi-domain battlefield. The CTC experience is a crucible, pushing units to their limits and refining their warfighting skills through realistic, high-intensity scenarios that mirror the complexity of modern warfare. We explore how these rigorous training environments shape the collective glidepath of readiness, fostering adaptability, cohesion, and mastery across land, air, sea, cyber, and space domains. Join us as we discuss how the lessons learned at CTCs are crucial for future mission success. Additionally, we highlight some of the modernization and innovation efforts that have been incorporated into our rotational design as well as some of the modernization of our rotational training units.   Part of S01 “The Leader's Laboratory” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the sixty-second episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the Commander of Ops Group (COG), COL Matthew Hardman. Today's guests are a pre-command and incoming commander for 2nd Brigade Combat Team of 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry), COL Anthony Gore and the current commander of 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), COL Trevor Voelkel.   Established during the build-up of US forces in the Cold War, 2nd BCT / 10th MTN has been continually deployed in support of various contingencies around the world as well as six deployments during the Global War on Terror. They have the Hollywood call-sign of “Commando” and the motto of “Courage & Honor.” 1st BCT / 101st ABN started life as 327th Infantry Regiment in WWI and then came to the 101st ABN as a Glider Infantry Regiment. They are one of the most storied infantry brigades in the US Army, having fought in WWI, WWII, Vietnam, Op Desert Storm / Gulf War, and continuously during the GWOT. They have the Hollywood call-sign of “Bastogne” and the motto of “Honor & Country.”   In this episode we discuss developing leaders at echelon within our brigade combat teams for the next looming fight. Developing leaders at echelon within BCTs is essential for preparing our force to effectively navigate the complexities of large-scale combat operations across multiple domains. This development begins with comprehensive training programs that emphasize the integration of multi-domain capabilities, ensuring leaders understand how to coordinate and leverage assets across these domains. Leaders must be proficient in multi-domain operational planning and execution, capable of making informed decisions in high-pressure environments. Training scenarios at home-station should replicate the intensity and unpredictability of LSCO as seen at the CTCs, fostering adaptability, resilience, and innovative problem-solving skills. Additionally, leadership development must focus on enhancing communication and collaboration skills, enabling leaders to work seamlessly with joint and coalition forces. By investing in robust leadership training and fostering a culture of continuous learning, BCTs can cultivate a cadre of leaders who are well-prepared to face the dynamic challenges of modern warfare and effectively command operations across multiple domains.   Part of S02 “If I Would Have Only Known” series.   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the thirty-sixth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the Commander of Ops Group (COG), COL Matthew Hardman. Today's guest are Today's guests are all seasoned Observer-Coach-Trainers from across Operations Group, MAJ(P) Drew Zabriskie, MAJ Westly “Wes” LaFitte, and MAJ James Lee.   Our guest observer-coach-trainers with nearly fifty decisive action training environment rotations between them. MAJ(P) Drew Zabriskie (L05) is the BSB Executive Officer OCT for TF Sustainment (BSB / CSSB / DSSB) with ten rotations. MAJ Westly “Wes” LaFitte is the BN Executive Officer OCT for the Fires Support TF (Field Artillery BN). MAJ James Lee is the BDE S-3 Operations Officer OCT for the BDE Command & Control (BCT HQ).   (MAJ(P) Zabriskie would become LTC Zabriskie a few short weeks post filming and MAJ Lee would become the BDE Executive Officer for BC2 as well.)   In this episode we discuss the lessons learned from field grade officer perspective in preparation for conducting large scale combat operations across multiple domains. The panel discusses large scale combat operations executed at the battalion, brigade, and division echelons, offering perspectives on a variety of topics including combined arms maneuver, transparent battlefield, fires, and contested logistics as well as emerging technologies employment.   Key lessons learned for field grade leaders at all echelons are understanding the amount of control and influence leaders must exert to be effective, grasping what you can't control and not wasting resources in pursuit of it, understanding your area of operations and your sphere of influence within it, and lastly understanding the systems which drive all of these is critical. The goal for leaders at all echelons must be to ensure that you're not creating problems than you're solving for your subordinates as well as your higher headquarters. Embracing the “teamwork makes the dream work” philosophy and striving to work together as a team across the brigade combat team.   The number one question that commanders and staff ask across the force is how can we get better at the military decision making processes (MDMP)? There's no shortcut, it's simply sets and repetitions that make staffs better at MDMP. The largest myths that most field grade officers have when coming to JRTC is that as the “Iron Major” for their echelon that they can't or won't fail at any time. The combat training centers have been described as the “Ranger school for command teams and staffs.” With that in mind, every organization that comes to the CTCs is destined to fail by design. It is only through failure that growth can occur.   Part of S01 “The Leader's Laboratory” series.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the thirty-second episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the Commander of Ops Group (COG), COL Matthew Hardman. Today's guests are two seasoned Observer-Coach-Trainers from within Operations Group, MAJ Maria Carver and MAJ Kevin Berhnhart. MAJ Carver (O05) is the Chief-of-Staff for JRTC Ops Group staff sections, but previously as an engineer was the Senior Protection WfF OCT at brigade echelon. MAJ Berhnhart (B05) is an infantryman that served as the Brigade Combat Team's Executive Officer OCT in Brigade Command and Control Task Force.   In this episode we discuss lessons learned in large scale combat operations at the battalion and brigade echelons from two seasoned field grade officers. One of the reoccurring observations for leaders is the notable difference in operations tempo (OPTEMPO) of LSCO compared to counter-insurgency / low-intensity combat conducting during the Global War on Terror. The OPTEMPO for LSCO is incredibly fast-paced and demanding, commonly referred to as small-unit operations on an industrial scale. There's a common “eureka” moment at the JRTC, when leaders realize that time is your number one “enemy” or concern, not the opposing force. To help mitigate this grueling OPTEMPO, leaders can do three simple things, regardless of echelon: Establish & abide by a battle rhythm Create & publish realistic operational timelines Attempt to adhere to the one-thirds / two-thirds planning rule (The rule states that leaders should use one-third of the time available before mission execution for their planning while allocating the remaining two-thirds to their subordinates for planning & preparations.)   In LSCO, brigade combat teams will consistently be in contact with the enemy across multiple domains. This will force BCTs and their subordinates to plan, prepare, and execute multiple operations simultaneously. A common trend is for units to attempt a very complicated and conceptual plan that becomes too cumbersome to execute effectively. Leaders must provide clear and simple guidance, which allows your subordinates to execute it violently in a timely manner.   While not being nearly as exciting a topic combined arms maneuver, battalions and brigades need to train and develop their staffs. Same concept as training and certifying a fire team as they too need sets and repetitions in order to function as an effective, cohesive team.   Observed attributes of high-performing Field Grades: Extreme ownership & learn to lead peers Presence matters Trust / empowerment of peers & subordinates Establish systems & processes Build relationships & dialogue between staffs & command teams   Part of S01 “The Leader's Laboratory” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the twentieth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the Commander of Ops Group (COG), COL Matthew Hardman. Today's guest is the S-2 intelligence officer for 1st Battalion (Airborne), 509th Infantry Regiment, CPT Benjamin Branower.     1-509th IN BN is the opposing forces unit for the Joint Readiness Training Center, the infamous “Geronimo.” Geronimo's primary mission is to help units see their selves clearly in order to rectify any deficiencies through rigorous, realistic, and relevant training with an aggressive opposing force (OPFOR). Besides functioning as a traditional S-2, CPT Branower also coordinates for the employment of Geronimo's Special Purpose Forces, electromagnetic /cyber warfare team, and information warfare cell.   In this episode we discuss means in which Geronimo regularly prepares to engage each brigade combat team through the analytical process of searching for vulnerabilities and then exploiting said vulnerabilities, commonly called “red teaming.” What is repeatedly emphasized is that the Geronimo staff isn't given any “insider” knowledge to each training rotation but instead conducts traditional Army staff work, such as information preparation of the battlefield, followed by aggressive, high-tempo operations against BCTs.   Part of S11 “Conversations with the Enemy” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please checkout our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the twelfth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the Commander of Ops Group (COG), COL Matthew Hardman. Today's guests are the division liaison officer from 3rd Infantry Division, MAJ Joe Laplante and the armor-mechanized team's commander, CPT James Corino. The armor-mech team that supported 1/82 ABN was Team Cronos, C Company, 3rd Battalion, 67th Armor Regiment, 2nd Armor Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division.   The 67th Armor Regiment has the honor of being one of the oldest armor units in the U.S. military as they were first formed in 1929 as the 2nd Tank Regiment (Heavy) and redesignated as the 67th Infantry Regiment (Medium Tanks) in 1932 and then became the 67th Armor in 1940. During WWII, they took part in the invasion and fierce fighting that followed for North Africa, Sicily, and then mainland Europe. Later they would take part in Operation Desert Storm followed by the various operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria. The company team has the Hollywood call-sign of “Cronos” while the BN's call-sign is the “Hounds of Hell” and the ABCT's call-sign is "Spartans." The ABCT's motto of “Send Me” while the BN's motto is “Ready for War.”   For the rotation in question, Team Cronos supported the rotation by providing an armor-mech team to a light infantry brigade combat team in order to provide a highly lethal and mobile force, so as to facilitate winning engagements on any battlefield in any operational environment across the globe. Its effectiveness increases through the synergy of combined arms including M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams main battle tanks, M2A4 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, infantry, engineers, and support elements.   In this episode they discuss they the various nuances of effectively employing an armor-mech team as part of a larger light infantry task force and the massive learning curve for honing the light-heavy paradigm. The U.S. Army has only recently began task organizing light infantry BCTs from XVIII Airborne Corps with armor-mech teams again and so the Army is having to re-learn some of the fundamentals once again. Sustainment, logistics, and maintenance cannot be over emphasized. Having a liaison from the armor-mech team's division to the supporting light infantry BCT is definitely an identified “Best Practice.”   Part of S04 “Scouts Out” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please checkout our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

Jay Leus lives with his family of three in Ymir, a small town in British Columbia Canada. The British Columbia Timber Sales (BCTS), an arm of the BC Government, has plans to log in the watershed that supplies the town's fresh drinking water. This is their only source and if it's damaged then there will be major consequences: loss of property value, relocation, community dismantling to name a few. Jay has enough passion and emotions to overrule the fact he has no special education or training to take on the task to oppose a large government organization.In this episode we learn how he and the community went about getting the first big win for the town: an agreement from BCTS to monitor the streamwater before they begin building roads and logging. We also talk about:- how a small community with an incredibly limited budget can make a huge impact- how to ask others to help you achieve your mission without having money to pay them- how to get a meeting with your politicians and how to make it successful- various strategies to take so you maintain a steady push when things get delayedand so much more. We talk about why Jay? What about him makes it possible to do this work and can anyone else do it too? Spoiler, yes, anyone can do this!Ultimately the injustice of the situation lit a fire within Jay to take action and we talk about those emotions to fuel his mission, where no other community in BC has ever stopped BCTS from logging in their watershed yet. I hope you enjoy, and remember to share with others! We need people to see it's possible to make change happen and show them how they too can get things done in their community to protect their future and the planet! Rate and review so more people see and hear of this podcast. Our future depends on it!To support the Ymir Community Watershed Society, and see the various ways you can help them maintain clean drinking water and set precedence in BC, Canada and perhaps globally, GO HERE. With so much Love, Kim

Is the Army ready for a ‘Great Power War' against a peer competitor, in terms of the number of Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs)? If the Army had to double in size, what challenges would it face in terms of expanding the number of maneuver units? What steps should the Army consider to overcome these hurdles? Over the last nine months, an interdisciplinary team of Army War College student researchers, under the direction of Dr. Tony Echevarria, have examined issues related to great power war and whether the Army is ready. One of those team members, COL Esli Pitts, a resident student at the War College, joined Dr. John R. Deni to discuss increasing the number of BCTs, the last in a series of podcasts on challenges of, and recommendations for, expanding the Army.
