Happy #NationalAirborneDay! 🪂 National Airborne Day, Aug. 16, honors the military's airborne divisions of the Armed Forces. Aug. 16, 1940, marks the date of the first official Army parachute jump at Ft. Benning, Georgia. The successful jump validated the innovative concept of inserting U.S. ground combat forces behind a battle line by parachute. These sky soldiers represent some of the most prestigious and expertly trained forces in the United States Army. #AATW

On this Armed Forces Flag Day, let's envision a future where our armed forces operate with unparalleled efficiency, force multiplier and synergy. The proposed implementation of theatre commands holds the key to unlocking our full military potential. By integrating our Army, Navy, and Air Force under unified command structures, we can optimize resource allocation, streamline decision-making, and enhance operational effectiveness. This strategic shift will not only strengthen our national security but also elevate India's global stature. . Please feel free to share your views on the same in comments 😌 . . #Synergy #ForceMultiplier #IndianArmy #IndianNavy #IndianAirForce #TheatreCommand #WorldNo.1

This is all true, but potentially irrelevant. You can have the best army to fight the previous war, but is it the best army for the next war? The quality of the people and their organization can be a huge competitive advantage. But if they are not trained in modern war and are not equipped to fight it, can they prevail? The drone war of today and tomorrow requires different equipment, different training, and different unit organization than today's US Army. The United States Marine Corps has started to adapt to the new reality. The US Navy and United States Air Force are lagging behind. The US spend more money on defense than the next seven nations combined, but is it spending it on the right things? In the right ways? The US has become the high-cost producer of almost everything, yet in war, low-cost mass production is critical. The recent RAND study is quite damning and, frankly, scary about how ill-prepared the US is to fight a real war. #ww3 Garrett M. Graff

20 Sep 06:50: ‘NCOs without surveillance and attack drones, counter-drones, small unit EW, flying grenades, UGV-deployable mines and ammo delivery and casualty recovery, and flying thermite/wp dispensers are going to feel like US Grant’s troops fighting George Patton. All of these technologies are available, inexpensive (compared with other stuff we currently buy), easily adaptable and upgradable on the base platforms — and should ALREADY be in service with all of our infantry, armour, artillery, and recon units. Washington fiddles and runs along at the same old ponderous pace while the clock ticks. Time to kill red tape’: Me (TSz): ‘ … AND time to also ignore Putin lies and his so called ‘Red Lines’ … which Putin seems superbly to continue to control Biden … such that Biden continues to protect Russian territory at the expense of Ukraine’s? Am I missing something?’: Thank you H Perry 🇺🇸 … and J Scott 🇺🇸🇺🇦:
