“We're starting to see that lightbulb moment in folks' minds to say, ‘It's okay to be a little bit vulnerable. It's okay to talk about some painful things.' It's hard to do that within the government world because of the old ways of thinking and working, but we're starting to break those barriers down.” In this episode, Adam talks to Scott Sinclair, Agile Coach within the U.S. Army PEO and Shawn Lowe, SPCT at Accenture about driving successful transformations in a government context. The trio dives into topics including the need for strong leadership to overcome cultural resistance to change, clearly communicating to explain the why behind the transformation, and the importance of defining and measuring the impact of the changes, rather than just monitoring metrics.

In this episode of the Eye on AI podcast, Tyler Xuan Saltsman, CEO of Edgerunner, joins Craig Smith to explore how AI is reshaping military strategy, logistics, and defense technology—pushing the boundaries of what's possible in modern warfare.   Tyler shares the vision behind Edgerunner, a company at the cutting edge of generative AI for military applications. From logistics and mission planning to autonomous drones and battlefield intelligence, Edgerunner is building domain-specific AI that enhances decision-making, ensuring national security while keeping humans in control.   We dive into how AI-powered military agents work, including the LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) model, which fine-tunes AI to think and act like military specialists—whether in logistics, aircraft maintenance, or real-time combat scenarios. Tyler explains how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and small language models allow warfighters to access mission-critical intelligence without relying on the internet, bringing real-time AI support directly to the battlefield.   Tyler also discusses the future of drone warfare—how AI-driven, vision-enabled drones can neutralize threats autonomously, reducing reliance on human pilots while increasing battlefield efficiency. With autonomous swarms, AI-powered kamikaze drones, and real-time situational awareness, the landscape of modern warfare is evolving fast.   Beyond combat, we explore AI's role in security, including advanced weapons detection systems that can safeguard military bases, schools, and public spaces. Tyler highlights the urgent need for transparency in AI, contrasting Edgerunner's open and auditable AI models with the black-box approaches of major tech companies.   Discover how AI is transforming military operations, from logistics to combat strategy, and what this means for the future of defense technology.   Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more deep dives into AI, defense, and cutting-edge technology!   Stay Updated: Craig Smith Twitter: https://twitter.com/craigss Eye on A.I.

Fort Indiantown Gap is hosting what’s known as a war fighter exercise, an event to train and evaluate military units for large scale combat operations. More than 3,000 personnel are taking part between now and mid-February. Col. Kevin Potts, Garrison Commander at Fort Indiantown Gap says it’s a large-scale collective training exercise. “We're really, it's an it's not so much on the ground like normal soldiers were normal units come and train where they go out. They train in the field, and they do marksmanship qualifications and road marches and things of that nature.” The exercise trains the commanders and their staff in military decision making. “Well, fighting a mock battle in a computer system. So, it's kind of like a gaming system, but it integrates the life scenario of soldiers doing the work on the ground inside a computer system. And there's an enemy operating. So, they have a decision in the fight. So is a is a fight the fight the enemy can make a decision and then it changes how they react, how the forces or forces react to what they do.” This type of exercise focusses on command and control rather than many troops. “So, a normal brigade commander will have about 3 or 30 500 to 4000 soldiers under him. This is a division level. So you're talking 12, 12,000 soldiers. So instead of bringing 12,000 soldiers to fight, you know, on the terrain, which is extremely expensive, this is their staff. And they do it in a computer simulated world, which reduces 12,000 to 2500. And that includes everybody that needs to be involved in it. So, it's an it's a force reduction or cost reduction, but it's still it gets you to be able to work the method, the processes, the equipment and the procedures on how to actually do the exercise or the operation.” Due to the large number of military personnel, there will be an increase in traffic in the area.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This approach is vital for maintaining the health and readiness of warfighters, especially in the face of evolving global threats, and underscores the necessity of keeping soldiers healthy and combat-ready. Interoperability Over Uniformity: The discussion challenges the traditional "purple suit" mentality, advocating instead for a joint and interoperable approach where service members retain their unique identities while working seamlessly together. This interoperability is crucial for adapting to future military engagements that may differ significantly from past conflicts. Career Insights and Personal Growth: The episode offers personal anecdotes and reflections on a career in military medicine, highlighting the rewards, educational opportunities, and sense of camaraderie that come with military service. These insights provide valuable guidance for young listeners considering a career in this field. Collaboration Across Military and Civilian Sectors: Emphasizing a whole-of-nation approach, the episode discusses the importance of collaboration between military and civilian medical personnel to enhance the health, strength, and survivability of warfighters. This collaboration ensures comprehensive support for service members, preparing them for whatever future challenges may arise.   Keywords Military Medicine, Joint Staff Surgeon Office, Enlisted Voice, Defense Health Agency, Service Branches, Joint and Interoperable Medical Operations, Purple Suit Mentality, Future Conflicts, Preventive Medicine, Warfighters, Military Engagements, Training, Enlisted Medics, Corpsmen, Iraq, Afghanistan, COVID-19, Air Force, Public Health, Occupational Health, Leadership, Collaboration, Military Healthcare, Generals, Strategic Needs, Personal Growth, Community Support #MilitaryMedicine #EnlistedLeadership #JointOperations #ProactiveMedicine #WarfighterHealth #HealthcareInnovation #PreventiveCare #MilitaryHealthcare #LeadershipDynamics #DefenseHealthAgency   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

Did you know that over 22 military veterans commit suicide every day? On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his powerful conversation with Brandon Cabalar, the president of the Warfighters Mission. Brandon shares his passion for helping veterans and their families, and his desire for them to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior because, as Brandon said, The Lord saved my life I don't want to see this happen anymore. The struggle is real every day for these guys and they don't understand that they have one person, one thing that can save them and help them.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the seventy-seventh episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the MAJ(P) Westly “West” LaFitte, the Brigade Executive Officer Observer-Coach-Trainer for Brigade Command & Control on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are two Small Group Leaders of the Maneuver Captain's Career Course at the Maneuver Center of Excellence, CPT Matthew Dunn and CPT Jordan Scanlon.   The Maneuver Captains' Career Course (MCCC or MC3), hosted by the Maneuver Center of Excellence at Fort Moore, Georgia, is a 22-week program designed primarily for U.S. Army infantry and armor officers, with participants also including U.S. Marine Corps captains and officers from allied nations. The course's mission is to equip these officers with the skills necessary for effective company command and to fulfill tactical planning duties as battalion S-3 operations staff officers. MCCC has its roots in the former Infantry and Armor Officer Advanced Courses, which prepared captains for command and staff roles within their respective branches. Since 2008, MCCC has merged these curricula into a unified “maneuver” focus, reflecting the integrated requirements of modern warfare. The course is organized into three teams, each led by a senior major and divided into 12 seminars of about 15 officers, guided by a senior captain or major. Offered six times annually, MCCC runs three classes concurrently, supporting a student body of approximately 400 to 600 officers at any given time.   In this episode we discuss key insights into leadership and operational effectiveness at the company and platoon levels during large-scale combat operations. A primary lesson learned is the critical importance of adaptability and readiness within small-unit leadership, as the complex and dynamic battlefield environment demands quick decision-making under pressure. Platoon leaders and company commanders must develop autonomous decision-making skills and a strong understanding of the commander's intent. This autonomy is essential, especially in scenarios where communication lines may be compromised by enemy electronic warfare efforts. Leaders must ensure that every soldier has a clear grasp of the mission objectives, allowing units to maintain operational effectiveness even when cut off from higher command.   This episode also underscores the importance of “brilliance in the basics,” particularly for foundational skills in movement, coordination, and logistics management. Small-unit leaders stressed that mastery of basic soldiering tasks, such as secure communication practices, tactical movement, and efficient resupply operations, is indispensable for sustaining momentum during prolonged engagements. Additionally, the integration of new assets, such as multifunctional reconnaissance elements and flexible support units, requires company and platoon leaders to be proficient in managing these resources effectively on the ground. These lessons underscore the need for platoon and company leaders to cultivate a blend of tactical proficiency and adaptability, ensuring that they can operate independently and sustain combat effectiveness across diverse and challenging LSCO environments.   Part of S03 “Lightfighter Lessons” series.   Note from the podcast team: This episode was filmed during the Maneuver Warfighter Conference in April 2024, so the audio and video quality maybe reduced due to filming in an expeditionary manner. MAJ(P) LaFitte has since been promoted to lieutenant colonel.   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.

Our guest this week is a key player in two important research and policy initiatives. First, she led the Army Comprehensive Body Composition (ACBC) study that led to the recent updates to body composition policy. Second, she leads the Female Elite Warfighter (FEW) research initiative which focuses on identifying the characteristics that make women successful in elite combat training courses. We discuss both of these ongoing efforts in this conversation. Holly McClung is a Nutritional Physiologist for the Military Performance Division at the United States Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) in Natick, MA. She earned her Master of Science Degree in Nutritional Biochemistry from the University of New Hampshire and obtained her certification as a Registered Dietitian through course work at Cornell University and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. Holly is dual-trained in nutrition and exercise physiology, holding certifications as a Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics and Certified Exercise Physiologist. On the Military Performance Team Holly functions as a principal investigator leading work in the female Warfighter and special populations workspace. Her work group is focused on designing and implementing research to quantify and model individualized energy and nutritional needs of modern Warfighters. She led the Army's modern body composition study, and her research supports the 2023 updates to the Army Body Composition Policy (AR 600-9). Holly has published more than 45 peer-reviewed publications and holds two patents on a mobile metabolic sensor system intended for personal use. Most recently her attention has been on characterizing the physiological, metabolic, and cognitive profile of elite Warfighters going through the modern Ranger Training Course to determinewhether differences exist between sexes. She also has some really interesting forthcoming research based on the Army body composition study pending publication that we'll keep you guys posted on. And most importantly, she's a member of Leg Tuck Nation. A selection of her publications: "Development and cross-validation of a circumference-based predictive equation to estimate body fat in an active population" "The Rise of the Female Warfighter: Physiology, Performance, and Future Directions" "Physiology of Health and Performance: Enabling Success of Women in Combat Arms Roles" "Physical and Physiological Characterization of Female Elite Warfighters" "Psychological and Sociological Profile of Women Who Have Completed Elite Military Combat Training"

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the sixty-fifth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the Commander of Ops Group (COG), COL Matthew Hardman. Today's guest is the Sergeant Major of the Army, SMA Michael Weimer.   SMA Michael Weimer was sworn in as the 17th Sergeant Major of the Army on Aug. 4, 2023. His previous assignment was serving as the Command Sergeant Major for U.S. Army Special Operations Command at Fort Liberty, North Carolina. Throughout his career he has served in a variety of positions from team member to Command Sergeant Major of Special Operations Joint Task Force Afghanistan, to Command Senior Enlisted Leader of U.S. Special Operations Command Central.   As the Sergeant Major of the Army, SMA Weimer is the Army chief of staff's personal adviser on matters affecting the enlisted force. He devotes the majority of his time traveling throughout the Army to observe training and interact with Soldiers and their Families. SMA Weimer is the public face of the U.S. Army's Noncommissioned Officer Corps, representing the NCO Corps to the American people in the media and through business and community engagements.   In this episode we discuss warfighting and preparing leaders to lead troops in combat with the US Army's most senior enlisted soldier, SMA Weimer. Army leaders must be true masters in the art of war, embodying action with confidence and resolve. While warfare is inherently a profession of deep thought, it also requires individuals who excel in the fundamentals and leaders who are experts in their craft. Non-commissioned officers are the backbone of the US Army and thus are responsible for ensuring their troops are ready for war. They do this through rigorous, realistic, and relevant training, which generates forces ready to win America's wars.  It is imperative that Army leaders, particularly our NCOs, understand the gravity of their responsibility to the soldiers they lead in combat, recognizing that their most critical resource is human lives. Training programs should be designed progressively, building upon previous training and should include multi-echelon opportunities to train at all levels concurrently. Home-station must incorporate the “fog of war,” stress, and the clash of opposing wills as seen at the Combat Training Centers.   Part of S01 “The Leader's Laboratory” series.   Don't forget to check-out the SMA's social media pages, their handles are ‘US Army' on Facebook, ‘US Army SMA' on X, and ‘US Army SMA' on Instagram.   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.
