With each new administration, there is opportunity for change and reform. In the new Trump Administration, reform isn't seen as a secondary effect of a leadership change but as a requirement.What reform options should the new Pentagon leadership explore under the Trump Administration?Joining us to discuss this and related topics is Gary Anderson, Colonel, USMC (Ret.). A starting point for our conversation will be his recent article in The American Spectator, Real Military Reform Begins: Will Pete Hegseth be able to reverse our military's decline.Gary retired as the chief of staff of the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab. He served as a special adviser to the deputy secretary of defense. He is an adjunct professor at George Washington University.SummaryIn this episode, Sal and Mark engage with Gary Anderson to discuss the current state of America's military, focusing on the need for reform and the implications of the Goldwater-Nichols Act. They explore the challenges facing the Marine Corps and Navy, the importance of revitalizing the defense industrial base, and the recent uptick in military morale and recruitment. The conversation also critiques the Force Design 2030 initiative and emphasizes the need for a more effective military education system and logistics support.TakeawaysAmerica's military has been adrift for some time.The rot in military effectiveness goes back decades.The Goldwater-Nichols Act has had unintended consequences.Careerism and ticket-punching are detrimental to military readiness.Morale among military personnel is currently high.The defense industrial base needs revitalization to keep up with adversaries.Military education has shifted focus away from essential warfighting skills.Logistics has been neglected in recent military operations.War games should not be used to validate military concepts without scrutiny.Chapters00:00: Introduction to Military Reform and Change02:35: The State of America's Military10:42: Challenges in Military Education and Careerism18:36: The Need for Honest Feedback in Military Leadership26:16: Revitalizing the Defense Industrial Base29:15: Addressing the Crisis in Submarine Maintenance32:12: Revitalizing the Fleet: Innovative Solutions for Shipbuilding36:18: The Drone Dilemma: Quality vs. Quantity in Warfare41:04: Logistics in Modern Warfare: Lessons from the Past45:17: Morale in the Military: A Shift in Attitude51:15: Leadership Changes: Navigating New Directions54:00: Accountability in Military Decisions: The Need for Integrity58:44: War Games and Military Strategy: The Importance of Honest Analysis

Where is artificial intelligence going? How do we empower our workforce to embrace and use new capabilities? How can we best leverage the resources we have? These are some of the questions the Australian Army and the United States Marine Corps are working together to solve. In today's episode we are joined by Major Steven (Spike) Atkinson from the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab, who is leading the Robotic, Autonomy and Artificial Intelligence branch in the United States. Lieutenant Colonel Adam Hepworth has returned for another episode, sharing his insights from the Robotic and Autonomous Systems Implementation and Coordination Office. In our discussion, you'll hear how the United States Marine Corps, and the Australian Army are approaching emerging technology, together. Highlighting the importance of information exchange and shared experimentation to identify capability gaps, integrate technology and leverage shared opportunities.
The Marine Corps is currently mid-Force Design 2030 implementation and depending on where you sit: Active Duty, Reserve, Retired, a member of a sister service, curious taxpayer, or one of our many Allies/Partners; you are aware of some of the paradigm-shifting changes. Much of the information provided to these audiences is post-decisional. The rigor, applied by the Combat Development and Integration Enterprise, to inform Force Design 2030 modernization efforts is often ignored for the sensational headline. Today, we're going to dive into the world of wargaming and the organization responsible for this effort, The Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory or MCWL. On this episode, Tripp chats with the Director of the Wargaming Division at Marine Corps Warfighting Lab, Col. George Schreffler.

There has been a great deal of energetic discussion recently over the Marine Corps' adaptation for future conflict, "Force Design 2030." In this special #BruteCast episode, we welcome two additional voices to the debate. Cols Tim Barrick and Matt Jones (both USMC, retired) will look at some of the questions raised by Force Design 2030's vision. Tim Barrick is currently the Wargaming Director for the Brute Krulak Center for Innovation and Future Warfare at Marine Corps University. He is the lead designer of the Marine Corps' Operational Wargame System. Tim retired as a colonel in 2021 from the Marine Corps after 29 years of service. His last tour on active duty was as Director for the Wargaming Division in the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab. He also served as the commanding officer of the Marine Corps Tactics & Operations Group as a colonel and 1st Tank Battalion as a lieutenant colonel. He is a graduate of the Marine Corps War College, the Naval War College, American Military University, and the U.S. Naval Academy. Col Barrick recently authored the piece "On Future Wars and the Marine Corps: Asking the Right Questions" at War on the Rocks. Matt Jones is a retired Marine Corps Infantry Officer. His career crossed the fields of both infantry and light armored reconnaissance, with platoon and company command in 3rdBattalion, 9th Marines; company command with 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion; MEU Battalion Landing Team XO for 1stBattalion, 1st Marines; and battalion command of 3rdLight Armored Reconnaissance Battalion. He also held command of the Marine Corps Tactics and Operations Group, and performed staff duty as G3 and Chief of Staff of I Marine Expeditionary Force.

Olivia Garard, former Marine captain and prolific author, joins the #BruteCast on its 1-year anniversary to talk about her newly released book from Marine Corps University Press, An Annotated Guide to Tactics: Carl von Clausewitz's “Theory of the Combat.” This little-known work by the Prussian military theorist should seem familiar to Marines because it houses the common tenets on which the Corps' warfighting philosophy is based. But it is also a bit different too. It is more abstract; it wrestles with questions such as what is combat, what is the offense, and what is a plan. As Marines face the unceasing, continued evolution of the character of warfare it is worth reflecting on these basics—the underlying theory of tactics—to understand how they are manifesting in the current competition and how they will manifest in the next fight. Olivia Garard is a former Marine captain who spent much of her time in uniform as one of the first Group 3 UAS MAGTF Officers. She also worked for the Ellis Group inside the Futures Directorate of the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab before leaving active service. Ms. Garard has written extensively on future employment of UAS, and future warfare in general, in The Strategy Bridge, War on the Rocks, Marine Corps Gazette, Orbis, and the U.S. Army War College's War Room. She has also published a good amount of poetry, in the Collateral Journal, the Wrath-Bearing Tree, a forthcoming piece with The Line Literary Review, and our personal favorite, “Every Brief Ever” which may be the only piece of poetry ever published on War on the Rocks. An Annotated Guide to Tactics can be downloaded here.

News Item: A new cyber-threat warning issued by the United States National Cyber-Alert System in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security. Unspecified vulnerability in Medtronic Paradigm wireless insulin pump 512, 522, 712, and 722 allows remote attackers to modify the delivery of an insulin bolus dose and cause a denial of service (adverse human health effects) via unspecified vectors involving wireless communications and knowledge of the device's serial number, as demonstrated by Jerome Radcliffe at the Black Hat USA conference in August 2011. NOTE: the vendor has disputed the severity of this issue, saying "we believe the risk of deliberate, malicious, or unauthorized manipulation of medical devices is extremely low... we strongly believe it would be extremely difficult for a third-party to wirelessly tamper with your insulin pump... you would be able to detect tones on the insulin pump that weren't intentionally programmed and could intervene accordingly." Special thanks go to Randal L. Schwartz for emailing me this news item. (Randal is a widely known author of programming books and articles. He is co-host of FLOSS Weekly, and has been a guest on The Future And You six times in the last five years.)
