The Nature Of Warfare HAS Changed!
20TH Century Warfare 21ST
Century Warfare

20Th Century Warfare Model- This is the Army that
went to war in Afghanistan and Iraq
  • Winning battles wins wars
  • Focus on PHIII operations with belief that all
    other forms of conflict are lesser-included
  • Training more important than educating
  • Episodic

State-on-state wars Peer or
near-peer opponents Symmetric
warfare - fielded force vs
fielded force - formation,
uniforms, infrastructure
- hierarchical -
mostly conventional
- relatively sterile battlefields
KILL DESTROY CAPTURE Shoot-Move-Communicate
Sustain Traditional Kinetic Warfare Core
Competencies
Army body of professional knowledge and expertise
  • Cycle of linear progression and readiness

Deploy Fight Win
Redeploy Prepare for next conflict
  • Warfare will be predictable
  • Checklists play books
  • Doctrine as dogma
  • Human terrain of battle space largely ignored

5
21ST Century Warfare Model This is what we have
learned so far
  • Winning battles alone are not decisive, they
    set conditions for winning wars
  • PHIV operations are decisive and win wars
    PHIII operations are the enabling actions rather
    than the decisive actions
  • Educating equally important as training
  • Persistent

State-on-state wars still possible
Hybrid warfare (mix of traditional and
irregular warfare) among the
population likely Non-state actors
with global reach support

DRAGON 6 Commander's Intent and End State
We exist to go to war. This is the guiding
principle that continuously provides us our
azimuth. All of our energy and activity is
focused on our ability to rapidly deploy, fight,
win, and return home alive. We must be able to
go anywhere to do anything asked of us by our
nation. Our requirement and ability to execute
this mission govern everything I think and do as
the commander. We will accomplish this by
focusing on training and readiness, taking care
of soldiers, and taking care of our families. As
a brigade combat team we are only as strong as
our weakest link. All of us must be physically,
mentally and emotionally hard, technically and
tactically competent, intellectually agile and
adaptive, and prepared for what will be asked of
us. We are a team. If we allow ourselves and
those around us to fail as individuals, we fail
each other. The persistent state of war in which
we exist and operate does not allow us to fail
each other, our families, or our nation. We will
be ready, and we will prevail.
8
Command Priorities
  • Training and Readiness
  • Take care of soldiers
  • Take care of our families

9
Training Readiness Priorities
4
10
Training and Readiness Priorities
  • Physical Fitness
  • Marksmanship
  • Small unit training
  • Maintenance and accountability of equipment
  • Medical proficiency
  • Understanding the environment

11
Physical Fitness Training
  • Why is PT so important?
  • Increases the Golden Hour and survivability
    beyond evacuation
  • Dramatically improves recovery from injury
  • Improves ability to withstand stress
  • Improves general health reduces sickness and
    susceptibility to disease and viruses while
    deployed
  • Ensures we can do all the tough physical jobs
    Soldiers must do in combat
  • Clear indicator of leadership, discipline,
    standards and dedication
  • It is NOT just about the APFT

12
Physical Fitness Training
  • The Standard
  • 0630-0800 every duty day one full hour of PT to
    max heart rate and muscle failure
  • Critical protected training event. NO OTHER
    EVENTS SCHEDULED DURING THAT TIME.
  • Dont schedule an event or appointments before
    0900 that will cause PT to be short. This also
    allows everyone enough time after PT in the
    mornings to eat breakfast with the family, see
    the kids off to school , etc
  • NO SPORTS OR COMBATIVES DURING PT
  • DONT do PAI, health welfare inspections or
    urinalysis during PT hours
  • Individual PT for Co CDR/1SG, XOs S3s, CSMs and
    BN CDRs only
  • PT plan for each month posted in detail in Co
    area w/hard copy to CMD group
  • Sick Call before PT not during (0530-0615)

13
Physical Fitness Training
  • More Guidance
  • The standard for daily PT is to achieve muscle
    failure and max heart rate during every session.
  • PT programs will be designed for improving
    strength and endurance, and prepare soldiers for
    combat. Dont waste the opportunity make each
    session tough and demanding.
  • Success is unit average of 270 or better (90 in
    each event).
  • Avoid running every day. 12 - 15 miles per week
    is about right. Alternate with sprints, stairs,
    squats, etc. Use ability groups and avoid
    formation runs as much as possible (OK for some
    events such as pay day or motivational unit
    runs). DISCIPLINED FORMATIONS
  • Use the gym (small arms repair shop) for
    strength training- comes with big caveat It
    better be planned and supervised
  • PT twice per day is OK as well. Be smart and
    dont over train
  • Incorporate regular road marching

14
Cold Steel PT Program

15
COLD STEEL PT
  • Company PT with the BCT CDR
  • Conducted each Monday or first duty day of the
    week
  • My opportunity to assess the leadership,
    discipline, cohesion, mental toughness and
    physical fitness level of each company
  • Also an opportunity for me to demonstrate that I
    can meet the standards I expect
  • Unit forms at designated area and conducts
    warming and stretching on its own
  • Co CDR turns formation over to BCT CDR at 0645
  • Co CDR and officers in front with BCT CDR
  • All participate. No supervision by pulling out
    of the exercises and walking around
    Drill-Sergeant style leaders lead from the
    front and from within the formation just as they
    must do in combat
  • Three sets of exercises, no break between
    exercises. Followed by 3-4 mile release run
  • MINUMUM Standard all PT in the BCT must be at
    least this challenging EVERY DAY

    plaque and certificate along with the BCT CDRs
    coin
  • Trophy each quarter to the highest scoring
    Soldier

18
Profile PT Standards
This must be a deliberate event - planned and
supervised by a leader - Soldiers execute
within their profile to max heart rate and muscle
failure. The standard for PT does not change we
just have to work around the injury without
making it worse - Meticulously tracked at Co
and BN level - Co leadership closely monitors
profile status - Intent is personnel on
profile maintain an acceptable level of fitness
while they recover so that they do not have such
a long way to go to catch up with the
formation - No unsupervised PT, mall walkers,
etc
19
Marksmanship
Everyone must be able to hit
they aim at every time Deliberate process -
start with the basics and then build ultimately
to night maneuver LFX. Goal is 90 shoot EXPERT
- Company leadership is with soldiers on static
ranges for coaching and feedback. Nobody shoots
without a coach from their chain of command. -
PLs are range OICs (they need the development as
junior officers) - Detailed night qualification,
stress shoots, LFXs, and competitions - EVERYONE
trained at CQB all TM-sized elements (regardless
of MOS) can enter/clear single room at combat
speed LFX - Experience and expert gunners on
all AT systems, heavy weapons, and MGs -
Cross-train on key weapons systems Nobody
carries a weapon into a live fire or combat
unless they are qualified with it !
20
TRAINING (1 OF 2)
  • SQD and PLT level units are the building blocks.
    We are ultimately only as good as our small units
    to include staffs. All must be absolute masters
    at their tasks. Focus is on core competencies
    first.
  • Plan, resource, rehearse
  • - TNG Meetings (TC25-30) - Always on the TNG
    schedule. I and the CSM spot check routinely by
    sitting in on a few each month
  • Do a few things right rather than too much poorly
  • Train as we fight
  • - Tough and realistic conditions
  • - Incorporate Combined Arms
  • Standard for assessment of T We can do it at
    night and under live combat conditions in a rain
    storm where two map sheets join together
  • Continually assess ourselves. Make changes as
    necessary. Identify areas to improve and sustain.
  • We can train well and realistically without
    sacrificing safety through common sense,
    planning, and rehearsals

21
TRAINING (2 OF 2)
  • Place our soldiers and leaders in situations we
    anticipate they will face while deployed so that
    first time they face a similar situation isnt at
    combat speed with live ammo and a real enemy
  • Combatives training is a deliberate planned and
    resourced training event. Should be done at least
    once per month (not done in lieu of PT). All MOS
    participate. 100 of the BCT qualified at Level I
  • Multi-task with ranges as much as possible Road
    march to ranges, employ STXs enroute, etc (Drive
    to distant ranges and hump back)
  • Tactical movements and security at all times - No
    matter where you are and what you are doing.
    There is no such thing as an admin move. Create
    and sustain good tactical habits at home that
    will endure.
  • Reverse cycle training. We fight at night, so we
    train at night.
  • Start with the basics and work our way to
    preparing for the environment
  • The six week lock-in is a third rail. I protect
    it at my level and expect it protected and
    enforced in the BCT from SQD to BN.

22
CARE AND ACCOUNTABILITY OF EQUIPMENT
  • Everything must always be ready to goWe will
    not have time to figure out where our equipment
    is or fix it.
  • After all training events, we account for our
    equipment 100 and put it back in a condition
    that is ready to deploy at any time.
  • Recovery from all training events particularly
    FTXs - is a deliberate planned and resourced
    event dont rush it. Co and BN CDRs, 1SGs and
    CSMs directly involved in inspections
  • Company level commanders are directly
    responsible for the Command Supply Discipline
    Program in their units
  • Load Plans A place for everything and
    everything in its place. Diagram in vehicle load
    book and on inside covers doors of containers.
  • PLT LDRs are the primary hand receipt holders
    for their PLT equipment! (They need the
    development as junior officers)
  • The condition of the motor pool, the arms room,
    the supply room and other commodity areas are
    clear indicators of discipline, standards, and
    the quality of leadership in the unit

23
Medical Proficiency
  • 2x Fully qualified and equipped CBT Life Saver
    per squad equivalent.
  • 100 of BCT CLS qualified.
  • CLS bag on every vehicle in the BCT
  • Regular sustainment TNG for all.
  • Realistic casualty play for medics and CLS in all
    exercises
  • Non-medic EMT training and certification 1 per
    PLT equivalent
  • Medic right seat rides with Truman Hospital in
    inner Kansas City, MO

24
Understanding the Environment
  • Know and understand the enemy
  • Who is it?
  • How do they fight?
  • Why do they fight?
  • Know and understand the people Culture,
    religion, social rituals, history, narrative,
    social roles of gender and age, minorities, etc.
  • Where are the fault lines in society and why do
    they exist?
  • Language(s)
  • Physical environment Topography, climate,
    infrastructure
  • Governance, law and order, justice, security
  • Economy, natural resources
  • Not just an intel or staff issue all soldiers
    must have a working knowledge and understanding
    of their operating environment

27
Taking Care of Soldiers
1 Ensure they are trained and prepared to
deploy, fight, and return home alive NEVER
LEAVE ANYONE BEHIND 2 Ensure they have all the
correct equipment and that it works the way it is
supposed to work 3 Take care of families -
Awards and efficiency reports on time nobody
leaves the unit without their award NCOER or
OER - Professional development opportunities
(jobs, education) - Provide a professional and
ethical work (operating) environment - Routine
counseling and feedback open dialogue
trust - Quality of life (barracks, chow, mail,
time off)
28
Taking Care of Our Families
4
29
Taking Care of Families
  • Robust, active and meaningful FRGs
  • Assets and resources available (AER, CDC, MWR,
    etc)
  • Keep them informed regularly and accurately
    (including reach-back from theater)
  • Absolute honesty and open communication
  • Competent, trained and prepared quality rear
    detachments
  • Predictability flexibility
  • Protect key family dates as much as possible

I can always catch soldiers up on training events
and tasks, but I can never make up key family
lifetime events (Weddings, birth of a child,
funerals, high school graduation, etc)
30
Leader Expectations
4
31
LEADER EXPECTATIONS
Leaders are responsible for everything that
happens or fails to happen in their organization
32
DRAGON 6s Principles of Leadership
  • Set the Example
  • Empower subordinates
  • Take care of your people
  • Be professionally competent
  • Humility

33
Set the Example
- You are always being watched and judged -
Everyone needs to be able to look to you
standards and discipline - Do the right thing
always Legal, ethical moral, professional -
Accept responsibility and take ownership of every
mission and task - Give credit where it is
due - Values Honor, integrity, trust,
confidence, and professionalism exhibit and
safeguard these - Objectivity whether for
reward or punishment Soldiers expect it from
their leaders - Balance Practice it and ensure
your Soldiers do the same
34
Empower Subordinates - Operate by
intent and end state vice control and
micromanagement - Underwrite mistakes - Trust
junior leaders - Encourage innovation,
initiative and creativity - Set and enforce
standards and discipline. Once understood and
internalized, subordinates are able to operate
alone and unafraid.
35
Take care of your people -
Ensure they are trained and prepared to deploy,
fight, and return home alive NEVER LEAVE ANYONE
BEHIND - Ensure they have all the correct
equipment and that it works the way it is
supposed to work - Take care of families -
Awards and efficiency reports on time -
Professional development opportunities (jobs,
education) - Provide a professional and ethical
work environment - Routine counseling and
feedback open dialogue trust - Quality of
life (barracks, chow, mail, time off)
36
Be professionally competent - Know your job
so that others dont have to do it for you -
Know and improve yourself brutal self
assessment is necessary - Dont default to your
comfort zone - Know the capabilities and
limitations of your organization and employ it
within them
37
Humility - Your rank does not equal intellect
and creativity you are not the font of all
great ideas and knowledge. - Allow input from
subordinates they need to feel like they are
part of the process - People can disagree
without disrespect. Discourse is healthy as long
as all understand that once the boss makes a
decision, that is the plan and all execute to the
best of their ability - Never believe the back
side of your OER - Take your job seriously not
yourself - Respect must be given in order to be
received - It is all about the organization
not you
38

41
UCMJ (1 of 2)
  • UCMJ is not your only discipline tool!
  • Standard discipline tools are
  • - Leadership - Corrective Training
  • - Standards - Bars to reenlistment
  • - Counseling - Revocation of pass privileges
  • - Adverse evaluation reports - Chapter actions
  • - Write/call the parents (caveat)
  • UCMJ is usually a means of last resort for minor
    misconduct (poor performance, late for formation,
    etc)
  • Any time you suspect serious misconduct, you
    will immediately contact the JAG (BDE Trial
    Counsel)
  • Never hesitate to get the JAG involved if you
    are unsure about anything

42
UCMJ (2 of 2)
  • Before initiating an Article 15
  • - Evaluate whether other discipline tools could
    be effective
  • - You are satisfied that you know the entire
    story
  • - There is evidence beyond a reasonable doubt
    that would result in a conviction by Court
    Martial. If you dont think there is enough
    evidence to support it, call the JAG. Never offer
    an ART 15 just to see if the Soldier will take
    it.
  • I will always expect to see the soldiers
    counseling and training file for all Field Grade
    ART 15s. I expect you to do the same at your ART
    15s
  • Reinforce the chain of command by always
    ensuring the soldiers leadership is present -
    from TL to PL - for both readings
  • Chapter Packets thorough and complete

    have done for them
  • Come to the orders, targeting, or board process
    prepared, and know your duties and
    responsibilities

  • The media is how we get our message and the
    truth out to the American people
  • Professional, moral, ethical and disciplined
    organizations who are doing the right things have
    nothing to fear from the media your chain of
    command all the way to the Chief of Staff of the

    media, and we will be prepared to comfortably and
    confidently operate in the information terrain
  • We allow the media total access to everyone and
    everything
