Delighted to have an article published in the latest edition of the U.S. Army’s #MilitaryReview journal.

In it I discuss what leadership theories should be studied by commanders who wish to improve their knowledge and application of #MissionCommand

This is a great read. 🤓☕️
A retired RAF Air Commodore reflects on his wartime experiences as a junior officer during Desert Storm/Op Granby.

Some great insights on doctrine, training, culture.

1st post? Auftragstaktik quote! “The advantage of the situation will never be fully utilized if subordinate commanders wait for orders. Only if leaders of all ranks are competent for and accustomed to independent action will the possibility exist of moving large masses with ease.”-Helmuth Von Moltke
