Not every Soldier grows up planning to serve.  In this episode of Army Matters, LTG (Ret.) Leslie Smith sits down with Cadet Orion Van Buskirk, a junior—otherwise known as a “Cow”—at the United States Military Academy at West Point, to explore what it means to discover service along the way.  Raised in Eugene, Oregon, with no military background, Van Buskirk initially saw West Point as an opportunity for a free education, a challenge and a different path from his peers. But what began as a practical decision evolved into something deeper. In this conversation, Van Buskirk reflects candidly on the realities of West Point: the intensity, the structure and the moments that test resilience. He shares how the experience has reshaped his identity, from realizing he had outgrown his old environment to building lifelong bonds with fellow cadets.  Guest:  Cadet Orion Van Buskirk, U.S. Military Academy at West Point Cadets—from West Point, and across the country, send us your papers!

For many veterans, the end of military service raises a difficult question: Who am I now?  In this episode of Army Matters, LTG (Ret.) Leslie Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with retired Green Beret Ryan Hendrickson. After eight deployments to Afghanistan and surviving a life-changing blast from an improvised explosive device, Hendrickson retired, and then later returned overseas as a contractor. But, following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, he found himself confronting something many veterans struggle with: loss of identity and loss of mission.    Then Russia invaded Ukraine. Within weeks, Hendrickson left behind the stability he'd worked to establish, and he traveled into an active war zone—not as a combatant, but simply to ask one question: How can I help?  Guest:  SFC Ryan Hendrickson, U.S. Army Retired, Founder and CEO, Tip of the Spear Landmine Removal Has a member of the Army positively changed your life? Now is your chance to thank them publicly with a shoutout via our Hooah Hotline and have it possibly appear on an upcoming episode of AUSA's Army Matters podcast!

Fixing Hiring Manager vs Recruiter MIS-Alignment The recruiter-hiring manager relationship is the most consequential partnership in talent acquisition—and yet, according to Metaview's 2026 AI & Hiring Alignment Report surveying 505 recruiting and hiring leaders, it is also the most dangerously misaligned. While an overwhelming 90% of leaders describe their partnerships as "good," a staggering 58% privately admit they actively wish they could bypass their counterpart entirely. This silent fracture is not merely an interpersonal inconvenience; it is a direct driver of candidate loss, speed-to-hire erosion, and competitive disadvantage. As AI reshapes how hiring teams collaborate, the organisations that thrive will be those that confront this disconnect head-on and rebuild alignment as a strategic imperative rather than an assumed courtesy.   • The Alignment Illusion – Why 90% of partnerships self-rate as "good" while 58% of leaders secretly want to work around each other, and what this gap reveals about organisational honesty   • The Speed Tax of Misalignment – How recruiter-manager friction directly costs companies talent, with well-aligned teams 60% less likely to lose candidates to faster-moving competitors   • AI as Collaboration Infrastructure – Why teams that treat AI as core to hiring report excellent working relationships at 3.8x the rate of AI-hesitant organisations, and how shared context replaces tribal knowledge   • The Intake Call Failure – Why initial role alignment remains the highest-leverage moment most teams squander, and how to engineer shared understanding before a single candidate is sourced   • Signal vs. Noise in Feedback – How inconsistent evaluation criteria, delayed scorecard completion, and contradictory feedback destroy candidate experience and recruiter credibility   • The Power Dynamic Problem – Why hiring managers still view recruiters as order-takers rather than strategic partners, and how to reframe the relationship as co-ownership of business outcomes   • Shared Accountability Frameworks – Moving beyond service-level agreements to joint KPIs that bind recruiters and hiring managers to the same speed, quality, and candidate-experience standards   • Calibrating on "Good" – How misaligned definitions of ideal candidate profiles lead to endless iteration, offer rejections, and the demoralising cycle of "send more, I'll know it when I see it"   • The Business Goal Connection – Why 85% of companies exceeding their business goals actively use AI in hiring workflows, and what this reveals about alignment as a competitive differentiator   Watch this essential discussion to diagnose your own alignment gaps before they cost you your next critical hire. The recruiter-manager partnership is either your greatest strategic asset or your silentest competitive liability—and the data says most teams are living in dangerous denial.   We're on Friday 10th July at 2pm BST.

History often remembers the invasion: the beaches, the Soldiers, and the first waves crashing ashore on D-Day. But in the days before Allied forces reached Normandy, another battle was unfolding behind closed doors. A battle of judgment, uncertainty, and leadership under immense pressure.   In this episode of Army Matters, LTG (Ret.) Leslie Smith sits down with filmmaker Anthony Maras, director, co-writer, editor, and producer of Pressure, now in theaters. This historical thriller focuses on the 72 tense hours before D-Day and the difficult decisions that faced General Dwight D. Eisenhower and meteorologist Captain James Stagg. The film examines a rarely considered side of history: decision making in times of uncertainty with millions of lives hanging in the balance.    Known for building tension through films rooted in real events, including Hotel Mumbai, Maras discusses leadership under emotional pressure, how to make slow-moving weather patterns thrilling, and what really happened in the moments leading up to D-Day.

Dan Dailey sit down with LTC Armand Balboni, a U.S. Army officer whose career spans military service, biomedical science, law, academia and executive leadership in the private sector.  Balboni's journey did not begin with certainty. Told early on that he was not college material; he enlisted in the Coast Guard after high school—an experience that would ultimately give him the confidence to pursue higher education, earning an MD, PhD and a law degree. He held a successful civilian career as an innovator in medicine, but in search of more, LTC Balboni rejoined the Army Reserve, where he now works within the U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF). As the Deputy Director of the Advanced Capabilities Directorate, he helps bridge the gap between industry and the military—translating real-world needs into actionable solutions. Whether working with partners across Africa or advancing lifesaving technologies like freeze-dried plasma, his mission remains constant: reducing the time between innovation and impact.

Heroism is often remembered in a single moment, but for those who live it, the story does not end when the shooting stops.

Drawing from a career shaped by family service, mentorship, and combat leadership, Romesha reflects on what prepared him long before that day, and what followed after. From the mindset of young Soldiers deployed to an isolated and vulnerable position, to the reality of continuing combat operations for nine months after losing teammates, Romesha offers an unfiltered look at leadership under extreme pressure, rebuilding trust, and the responsibility after service.  Guests: SSG Clint Romesha, United States Army Retired, Medal of Honor Recipient Has a member of the Army positively changed your life? Now is your chance to thank them publicly with a shoutout via our Hooah Hotline and have it possibly appear on an upcoming episode of AUSA's Army Matters podcast!
