The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-thirteenth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by MAJ Marc Howle, the Brigade Senior Engineer / Protection Observer-Coach-Trainer, and MAJ David Pfaltzgraff, BDE S-3 Operations OCT, from Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ) on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are LTC Amoreena “Ammo” York, the Task Force Senior from Aviation Task Force and SSG Nikolas Pappas, the AVN Maintenance Tech Platoon Sergeant from the Aviation Task Force.   This episode of The Crucible podcast delves into the complex realities of sustaining Army rotary-wing aviation units during large-scale combat operations (LSCO). With an emphasis on enabler operations, the discussion highlights three primary friction points aviation units routinely encounter at JRTC: time management in MDMP across multiple simultaneous mission sets, underutilization of NCO expertise in planning and rehearsals, and the technical and doctrinal challenges of Forward Arming and Refueling Points (FARPs). The speakers emphasize that unlike home-station exercises with limited mission scope, JRTC rotations demand that aviation units execute deep attacks, displacements, and air assaults while simultaneously managing logistics and force protection—often without enough time or capacity to rehearse. A key takeaway is the criticality of aggressive MDMP timelines and the use of the “SHOPE” timeline—placing sustainment as the first priority to ensure aviation success.   Further, the episode underscores the need to integrate aviation planning with brigade-level operations, particularly when coordinating terrain management, graphic control measures, and airspace deconfliction. Successful units are those that involve mid-grade NCOs early, especially those with realistic insights into timelines and requirements for tasks like establishing a survivable FARP. The conversation also exposes a widespread lack of familiarity with aviation-specific requirements among brigade and division staff, particularly in managing shared airspace and synchronizing fires and SUAS activity. Finally, the hosts point out that survivable FARPs require camouflage, rapid setup and teardown, and minimal electromagnetic signatures—making blackout comms and distributed rehearsals essential. The episode concludes with a challenge to division-level leaders to solve the enduring problem of rotary-wing sustainment in LSCO through rapid, integrated air logistics—bypassing hours-long convoys and empowering CABs to bridge the final tactical mile.   Part of S13 “Hip Pocket Training” 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.

Steve Schlesinger authored "Act of Creation: Founding of the United Nations. “ The UN mandate expanded since it was formed on June 26, 1945 to achieve three basic goals: eliminate scourge of war, promote economic and social development and enhance human rights. The US was the most important player at the UN; however, it is considerably weakened since the Trump administration withdrew from the UNHRC and WHO, and applied counterproductive policies that make China stronger. The UN covers the world  in working with Rotary to defeat polio, helping companies move ships, aircraft, mail and weather information worldwide, providing assistance to refugees and combatting climate crisis and dozens more. Polls show most Americans support the UN. Now, the US is the laughingstock of the world for its counterproductive policies at the UN and surrendering its leadership.  Generally speaking, most of the us Media have been incompetent in coverage of the UN.

Time for some math. If there are 72 crabs in a bushel, how many crabs are in 260 bushels? And for extra credit, how many crabs per person if they are one of the 1,400 or so at the 80th Annual Rotary Coffee Annapolis Crab Feast on August 1st? SPOILER: The answer is nearly a dozen! Today, we sit down with Lisa Mam, a local realtor and the force behind organizing a feast for over 1,000 people on August 1st. We went from A to Z — from all-you-can-eat to zero waste, and a lot in between. What is required to organize this? How many crabs do you need? When does planning start? How many people make it all go? And then we discussed the rewards for the community — grants to non-profit organizations, as well as other Annapolis Rotary initiatives. To be honest, I am not sure what the community would do without them! Tickets are now on sale online, and some will also be available at the gate on August 1st. Have a listen!

Dr. Tom Kelchner joins Mary Ann Faremouth on this episode of Career Can Do to share how a lifelong commitment to service led him from classrooms to community leadership, and now, to his newest role as District Governor for Rotary District 5890. After 33 years in public education, Tom found a new mission through Rotary - one that aligned perfectly with his passion for helping others. “Why do I serve? Because it's needed,” he says. For Tom, service isn't a side project. It's a way of life. Rotary's reach is massive, with 1.4 million members worldwide and initiatives that span from eradicating polio to addressing food insecurity and mental health. But the power of Rotary, Tom explains, is also local. Whether it's mentoring students, helping veterans, or improving access to clean water, the impact is real and personal. Tom also highlights Rotary's work with youth through programs like Interact and youth exchange, showing how service can start early and last a lifetime. Under his leadership, he hopes to grow membership, amplify support for veterans and trafficking awareness, and make Rotary more visible to the wider community. This episode is a powerful reminder that service isn't just noble - it's necessary. And joining an organization like Rotary might just be the start of something much bigger than yourself.
