    We're honored to bring you a conversation with Dr. Jonathan Jaffin, an accomplished General Surgeon, a retired Colonel in the Army Medical Corps, and a Specialist Executive with Deloitte Consulting. Our dialogue circles the exciting advancements in operational medicine with an eye on austere environments, a topic that was the centerpiece of the 2023 Operational Medicine Symposium. We grapple with the shifting landscape of military operations, the emergence of near-peer competitors, and the potential for large-scale ground combat under resource constraints. Dr. Jaffin's insights into the challenges of maintaining readiness and the strains faced by individuals and caregivers are truly enlightening.      Moving forward, we venture into the realm of future warfare and the preparation of surgeons for these unprecedented challenges. We explore the role of telemedicine and the promising Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSA) project, a venture that Dr. Jaffin is no stranger to. His reflections on the KSA project provide a valuable insider's perspective into how training can be tailored to address specific knowledge and skill gaps. We delve into the crucial role of commanders in deployment readiness and the decisive impact of military medicine on these decisions. Dr. Jaffin also opens up about his military career, the unique relationships it has fostered, and the rewarding sense of contribution it offers. This episode provides a riveting glimpse into the evolving landscape of military medicine.   Chapters: (00:00) Advancing Operational Medicine for Austere Environments (05:47) Preparing Surgeons for Future Warfare (15:45) Advantages of a Military Career   Chapter Summaries: (00:00) Advancing Operational Medicine for Austere Environments Dr. Jonathan Jaffin, a general surgeon and retired Colonel in the Army Medical Corps, speaks about his current work with Deloitte Consulting and his focus on social determinants of health. The importance of the 2023 Operational Medicine Symposium is discussed, along with the innovations and opportunities to advance the practice of medicine in austere environments. The impact of a near-peer competitor on operational medicine and the need to prepare for large-scale ground combat operations with limited resources is explored. A panel of military chiefs shares the challenges of maintaining readiness, trauma to individuals and caregivers, and how to make difficult decisions in the face of limited resources.   (05:47) Preparing Surgeons for Future Warfare We discuss the challenges of maintaining surgical skills in an era of sub-specialization, how telemedicine can provide care in far-forward areas, and the Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSA) project to ensure healthcare professionals are ready for deployment. Dr. Jaffin shares his experience with the KSA project, including how to structure training based on gaps in skills and knowledge. We also discuss the role of commanders in deciding who is ready to deploy, and how the medical department can inform their decision.   (15:45) Advantages of a Military Career Dr. Jaffin shares his thoughts on the advantages of pursuing a military career and how it has helped him build close relationships. He reflects on the importance of contributing to the nation and the satisfaction from doing so. We also learn more about his current work with Deloitte Consulting and the role of telemedicine in providing care in remote locations. Take Home Messages: Advancements in operational medicine are crucial, especially for austere environments where resources may be limited. The potential for large-scale ground combat with near-peer competitors presents a significant challenge for military medicine due to resource constraints. Preparing surgeons for future warfare involves addressing skill gaps and ensuring readiness for unexpected situations. Telemedicine can greatly aid medical care in remote locations, from diagnosis to expert consultations. The Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSA) project is key in tailoring training to address specific skill gaps in military healthcare professionals. Commanders play a crucial role in deployment readiness and decisions, and military medicine can greatly inform these decisions. Military medicine's mission extends beyond providing outstanding healthcare, it also includes preparing individuals for deployment. Simulation technology for surgical training has significantly advanced, although there's still room for improvement, especially in simulating the feel of big procedures. A military career can be gratifying, offering unique experiences, relationships, and the satisfaction of serving one's nation. Meetings such as The 2023 Operational Medicine Symposium serve as essential platforms for discussing current issues and innovations in military medicine.

Den svenska vapenindustrin blomstrar i spåren av Ukrainakriget, men svensk vapenexport har historiskt varit nära sammanflätad med landets neutralitet. Så hur blir det när Sverige vill gå med i Nato? Den globala upprustningen Världen lägger rekordmycket pengar på upprustning och försvar. 2021 spenderade världens länder 2,1 biljoner dollar på militära utgifter, enligt fredsforskningsinstitutet SIPRI:s data. Mycket på grund av att länder som Ryssland, Kina och Indien satsat allt mer på sina militärer, och USA, som lägger ojämförligt mest. Mycket pekar på ett nytt rekordår, efter Rysslands invasion av Ukraina, då också många europeiska länder anslutit sig till rutningen.Vapenförsäljningen blomstrar Konflikt besöker en vapenmässa i Polen dit köpare och säljare från stora delar av världen möts. Trycket är hårt och industrin blomstrar. Det gör den också i Sverige, det blir tydligt när Konflikt besöker Saabs vapenfabrik i Karlskoga. Där vittnar chefer om en stolthet nu, att svenska vapen, som Nlaw, Carl Gustaf och pansarskottet AT4, kan vara med och göra skillnad och hjälpa Ukraina att försvara sig. Men alla i Karlskoga känner inte samma stolthet.Svenska vapen i Ukraina I Ukraina träffar radions korrespondent en ukrainsk soldat som lärt sig använda det svensktillverkade vapnet Carl Gustaf på Youtube. Han ger en bild av krigets blodiga och brutala verklighet och hur de svenska vapnen används i strid. Sverige på väg in i Nato hur blir det då med vapenexporten? Den svenska vapenexporten är historiskt tätt sammanflätad med Sveriges neutralitet och alliansfrihet. Nu, när Sverige tar snabba steg mot Nato, tycker Svenska Freds att Sverige borde ha en seriös debatt om vapenexporten. Den kommer med ett högt pris, menar fredsorganisationen, som har som mål att vapenexporten ska avvecklas. Men när Konflikt träffar Saabs VD Micael Johansson så ser han snarare möjligheter som öppnar sig för företagets affärer om Sverige går med i Nato. Sveriges nya försvarsminister Pål Jonsson (M) har inte tid med en intervju med Konflikt.Medverkande: "Kuzma", prickskytt i Ukraina som använder granatgeväret Carl Gustaf, Mats Fagerberg, marknadschef Saab i Karlskoga, Michael Höglund, chef för Ground Combat, Saab i Karlskoga, Jonatan Edlund, präst i Karlskoga, Micael Johansson, VD Saab, Linda Åkerström, policychef Svenska Freds, William Hartung, försvarsanalytiker vid Quincy Institute for responsible statecraft, Nan Tian, fredsforskare vid SIPRI mflReportrar: Lubna El-Shanti, Kristian ÅströmTekniker: Adam Alvin och Joar JonssonProgramledare: Robin Olin robin.olin@sr.se Producent: Anja Sahlberg anja.sahlberg@sr.se

The character of warfare has consistently changed over time, with technology evolving from edged weapons, bows and arrows, gunpowder, and battlefield mechanization, to more advanced technologies today, including long-range precision weapons, robotics, and autonomy. However, warfare remains an intrinsic human endeavor, with varied and profound effects felt by Soldiers on the ground. To explore this experience with those engaged in the tactical fight, we spoke with the following combat veterans, frontline reporters, and military training experts for this episode of The Convergence: Denys Antipov is a Ukrainian war veteran who served as a platoon leader and reconnaissance drone operator with the 81st Airborne Brigade in the Ukrainian Army, defending his homeland and fighting Russian paramilitary groups and anti-government separatists in the Donbas in 2015-2016. Heydar Mirza spent 36 days on the frontline as a war reporter in Terter and Agdere during the 44-day Second Nagorno-Karabakh war during the Fall of 2020. He is currently the program author and host of the weekly RADIUS military analysis program on Azerbaijan Public Television and Radio Broadcasting Company – ICTIMAI TV and Caliber.az YouTube channel. Nolan Peterson is Senior Editor at Coffee or Die Magazine and The Daily Signal‘s Ukraine-based foreign correspondent. A former U.S. Air Force special operations pilot and veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, he was among the first journalists to embed with Ukrainian forces in combat in eastern Ukraine. In Iraq, he embedded with Kurdish peshmerga forces in operations around Mosul and Sinjar. He has reported from throughout Eastern Europe, France, the U.K., and was onboard the USS George H.W. Bush off the Syrian coast to cover the air war against ISIS. John Spencer is the Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute, Co-Director of the Urban Warfare Project, and host of the Urban Warfare Project podcast. He served over twenty-five years in the U.S. Army as an infantry Soldier, with two combat tours in Iraq as both an Infantry Platoon Leader and Company Commander. He has also served as a Ranger Instructor with the Army’s Ranger School, a Joint Chief of Staff and Army Staff intern, fellow with the Chief of Staff of the Army’s Strategic Studies Group, Strategic Planner and then Deputy Director of the Modern War Institute where he was instrumental in the design and formation of the institute. He has just returned from walking the battlefields of Nagorno-Karabakh, gleaning les

In both military and civilian life, automation is taking over a rising number of functions. The original market for simulation was aviation, and the military is using is more and more as a short cut to training and to save fuel. But increasingly, simulation developers are finding that software for ground combat simulation is totally different challenge. Joining the Federal Drive with what's ahead in military simulation, the CEO of Bohemia Interactive Simulations, Arthur Alexion.
