How might a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan unfold? China's anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) strategy—a combination of missiles, submarines, sensors, and air defenses—is designed specifically to block and disrupt US air, sea, and even space and cyber power.But the true outcome of the operation will hinge on the rapid mobilization of People's Liberation Army (PLA) ground forces, argues recently retired four-star general Charles Flynn, former commander of U.S. Army Pacific.He warns that the real “center of gravity” of a Chinese invasion will lie in its ability to rapidly assemble, deploy, and transport land forces across the Taiwan Strait.“What keeps me up at night is their ability to actually pull that off in 96 hours,” Flynn says.He is convinced that building a “strategic land power network” and forging deep, enduring ties with partner armies in Asia will be vital to deterring the Chinese regime.In this episode, Flynn lays out a roadmap for how the U.S. military should rethink its strategy, technology, and partnerships to deter Beijing and safeguard its allies in the Indo-Pacific.“This century is going to be defined by the relationship between the United States and China. … We've said we've pivoted to the Pacific for more than a decade, and in actual behavior and actions, that's not accurate,” Flynn says.Before commanding U.S. Army Pacific, Flynn served as the Army's Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, Plans and Training (G3/5/7). He is the brother of General Michael Flynn, former national security advisor to President Donald Trump.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

IWAR aims to integrate the IO (Information Operations) and PSYOP (Psychological Operations) communities into a unified, conventional force branch. Other topics include: U.S. lagging behind adversaries like China and Russia in IO funding and the need to break down "stovepiping" within the U.S. information operations community; the State Department's Global Engagement Center and filling the void with respect to mis/dis-information; and military public affairs evolution. Recording Date: 19 Nov 2025 Research Question: Rob Thelan suggests an interested student or researcher examine: Where else are we falling behind our adversaries and how do we make up ground – especially with respect to operations in the information environment?

This week, Jun and Daniel catch up on a busy month of events, kicking things off with Daniel's participation in "No Shave November" and the cultural stigma surrounding beards in Korea. The conversation moves to a visit to a US Army base for Halloween, which sparks a debate about cultural differences in fairness and connections highlighted by a specific incident involving a pizza order. Daniel also vents about his frustration with household items constantly breaking in Korea, leading to a broader discussion on consumerism, manufacturing quality, and the "fast fashion" mindset that permeates daily life.If you're interested in hearing a deep dive into why Americans identify so strongly with their driver's licenses compared to Korea's centralized resident ID system, or the sociological flip where Americans trust their neighbors but distrust the government while Koreans generally feel the opposite, this episode is for you. We also discuss the intense fitness culture of HYROX, differing attitudes toward pregnancy and activity, the reality of job stability and layoffs in the AI era, and Daniel's realization that after four years, he finally feels completely settled and comfortable living in Korea.As a reminder, we publish our episodes bi-weekly from Seoul, South Korea.

Over the next two decades, Smith would be leading soldiers into combat during the invasion of Iraq and on two deployments in Afghanistan.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Smith takes us through the rapid invasion in Iraq and how he first learned about improvised explosive devices. He also tells us about a bizarre and fascinating mission he and his men undertook in western Iraq.Six years later, Smith served as a battalion commander in Afghanistan and saw the most intense combat of his career. He explains how the mission they trained for suddenly changed when they arrived, how he adjusted to the enemy strategically, and how he kept morale up despite deaths and serious injuries.Finally, Smith tells us about the work he is doing now to prepare other veterans for a successful business career after they leave the military.

You may have heard of the "ghost army" of World War II—a set of rubber tanks used by the US Army to mimic active battlefields in Europe. What you may not know was the tanks were accompanied by an equally fake soundtrack of battle noises. Even more surprising? This "sonic deception" was developed by a team of the ASA's founding members whose contributions were almost lost to history. In this episode, we talk with Walter Montano (ARQUICUST Argentina Peru) about the innovations that helped save thousands of lives during the war.Read the associated article: Walter A.

“I'm angry at God and so if I can just convince myself I don't believe in Him, maybe I don't have to feel this anymore.”In this episode, we are joined in-studio by Army veteran and pastor, Mr. John Murphy. John tells us about his family's long line of aviators, his mom trying to discourage him from joining the military, some sobering experiences in Afghanistan, his struggles to adjust after coming home, and how a bad training jump prematurely ended his career before it could really begin.His struggles didn't end after his time in uniform, though, as John recalls the many twists and turns that brought him back to Fayetteville; not once, but twice.In the Free Fire Area, Dan and Roger discuss superpowers and while some are really cool, others are really not.Theme song provided by The Mountain via Pixabay.Support the showhttps://tracerburnout.com/

Ed Miklavic was one of 12 children and he ended up joining the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1940 because he tagged along with his brother and a friend to the Army recruiter. But Ed was better qualified than both of them. This was before the U.S. entered World War II, and the Army didn't even have a current uniform to give Miklavcic. Nonetheless, he headed out west for training and was stationed at Pearl Harbor's Wheeler Field leading up to the Japanese attacks on December 7, 1941.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Miklavcic tells us what his duties were before the attacks, how the attacks unfolded for him on December 7, and what he saw at Wheeler Field once the attacks were over.Miklavcic also describes his service on Iwo Jima. He explains why he came ashore days later than expected, what he saw when he landed, and his assignment at the airfields. He shares what it was like trying to dig and build in the black ash sand of Iwo Jima and to deal with Japanese mortar attacks and nighttime raids. He also remembers the iconic flag raising atop Mount Suribachi.Finally, Miklavcic stresses the importance of remembering the service and sacrifice of all who have fought, bled, and died for our nation.

Throughout his career, he was always motivated, looked sharp in uniform, and seemed to truly be called to this profession!!! And I really appreciated that about him because, as we all know, this job can suck the life out of you.He stayed in patrol, working Operations Division East for most of his career. I was interested to hear he started in Michigan after a short tour in the Army. He was an EMT too! I'm really excited for you all to hear this one, Mark is awesome!!Come see me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/choir.practice.94 or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/cp_sfaf/

If the role of the Corps level is in setting the conditions for Divisions to win, how are Divisions and subordinate commands going to conduct their own battle (and command it)? What are their roles in the tactical battle? Where does the line get drawn between levels? Is it doctrinally fixed or dynamic? Modern divisions don't fight like those in WW2, nor as we planned to during the Cold War, certainly not in the same way as they did in Afghanistan and Iraq. This isn't about simply faster Combined Arms warfare: For all the talk about Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) in the US Army – and those equivalents elsewhere in Western militaries – trying to understand the US Army concept for operations during their "Continuous Transformation" isn't easy.

Eighty years ago, the Nazi high command was put on trial in Nuremberg. A brand new film, named for the trials, follows a lesser-known story, that of a US Army psychiatrist tasked with determining whether the detained officials were fit to stand trial. It features Kiwi actor Russell Crowe as the charismatic Hermann Göring, Hitler's longtime second in command, and Rami Malek as psychiatrist Douglas Kelly. The film was written and directed by James Vanderbilt, best known for his work on The Amazing Spiderman and Zodiac. As much as the film is about the atrocities committed by the Nazis, it's also very much about the dynamic between Göring and Kelly. Vanderbilt told Jack Tame that one of their early inspirations was ‘Silence of the Lambs', with a person going into a cell and sitting with a prisoner. “In our film they're both trying to get over on each other a little bit, they're both trying to get something out of each other.” “I sort of loved the idea of these two men, both trying to play each other, and yet at the same time, connecting in a way neither of them saw coming,” Vanderbilt said. “That to me just felt delicious.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A Vietnam War hero with zero casualties wrote a manual about warrior monks who hug daily and use ESP in combat. Instead of dismissing it, the US Army turned it into Project Jedi—a decades-long experiment in psychic warfare. Generals tried walking through walls. Intelligence officers hosted spoon-bending parties. Soldiers stared at goats until their hearts stopped. The CIA spent millions on remote viewers who claimed to see Soviet secrets thousands of miles away. Most experiments failed, but the successful techniques became foundational to modern Special Forces training. This is the true story of America's psychic soldier program and how a hippie field manual accidentally revolutionized military operations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP3pOszdr5U

Sydney Levit was 17 years old when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Like most kids his age, he was eager to serve. In 1943, Levit was drafted into the U.S. Army and he soon had the opportunity to join the airborne, training as a paratrooper and also with gliders. He became part of the 17th Airborne Division.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Levit describes the rigorous training he went through as part of the airborne, including his first jump out of an airplane and learning how gliders work. He then explains how his unit spent months training in England, waiting to enter the fight. Their first action was at Malmedy and was both vicious and chaotic.Levit details the logistical fight against the Germans at the Bulge and the separate struggle against the brutal and unrelenting cold that was also a daily fight to stay alive.Then, Levit takes us into Operation Varsity, the massive airborne campaign designed to help the Allies cross the Rhine River. Yet, very few Americans are even aware of it.Levit also shares memorable moments away from the fighting, including his interactions with prisoners, being stunned by the death of President Roosevelt, and being surprised when a Hollywood star just popped into his tent.

From the nation's capital to cities like Chicago and Portland, soldiers police their own streets, their own people. Lieutenant General Russel L. Honoré, who served his country for more than 37 years, says, "never before have I been as concerned for our democracy -- we are being tested, and this is a test we cannot afford to fail."

In the fourth installment of the "Becoming the Protégé" series on Power Producers Shop Talk, host David Carothers welcomes contestant Brian Shaw, the Principal at Alamo Insurance Professionals. Brian, a veteran of the US Army, law enforcement, and the financial services world, shares his powerful "why" for joining the competition. He discusses his unique challenge of feeling like he's "running in quicksand" while trying to grow his two-year-old agency and simultaneously train his son, who has Asperger's and type 1 diabetes. The conversation is a candid look at the father-son dynamic, the need for proven systems, and finding the discipline to succeed. Key Highlights: A Veteran's "Why": Building a Legacy Brian Shaw explains that after 20 years in the industry and a near-fatal battle with COVID that cost him his medical device business, he returned to commercial insurance. He joined The Protégé to find the systems and discipline he needs to train his son effectively, break his own "bad habits," and build a lasting legacy for his family. The Father-Son Dynamic & Overcoming Challenges Brian opens up about the unique joys and frustrations of working with his 31-year-old son, who is on the autism spectrum. He shares his personal struggles as a father and trainer, noting that his son is a "sponge" for information but struggles with focus and the father-son dynamic. Brian's goal is to use The Protégé's framework to become a better teacher and provide a clear path for his son to follow. Niche Focus: Construction and Agriculture With a deep personal background in agriculture (growing up on a farm in Indiana, 4-H, and FFA) and a strategic focus on construction (HVAC, electrical, and plumbing), Brian is working to establish his agency as a true risk management partner, not just a "policy peddler," in these specific niches. Fear of Failure: "I'm Most Concerned About Myself" When asked who he's most worried about in the competition, Brian gives the honest answer: himself. He shares his fear of letting his family and son down and his self-identified shortcoming of "tweaking" systems that are working instead of just executing. David's tip is to focus on the process—which is the real victory—rather than the competition.
