The Offense is the decisive form of warfare. As the Russians and Ukrainians have recently reminded us, it is also extremely difficult. American ability to maneuver against greatly outmatched opponents in Iraq and Afghanistan may have created an impression that we are somehow immune from this dynamic. In this article, LTC Jennings discusses six "considerations" for developing the force structure and doctrine necessary to achieve operational success against near-peer opponents on a future battlefield. Does the U.S. Army have the ability to think clearly on these considerations as it mans/trains/equips for the current and future forces? Let us hope so.

There are two pillars in nation building. One pillar is men and the second pillar is women. When both pillars are strongly placed then the structure of the country is most stable.

Delving into Flag Precedence, a crucial facet of military etiquette, referencing Department of the Army Pamphlet 600–60(A Guide to Protocol) offers detailed guidance for soldiers and DOD civilians. Understanding the hierarchy of flags symbolizes our commitment to order and tradition. In the words of General Douglas MacArthur, 'In no other profession are the penalties for employing untrained personnel so appalling or so irrevocable as in the military.' Let's internalize this wisdom, ensuring our commitment to excellence echoes in every detail. 🇺🇸 #MilitaryEtiquette #USArmy #FlagPrecedence #ArmyProtocol #ExecutiveServices

Is everyone ready to have their civil rights taken away when Hezbollah starts blowing stuff up in the US and killing Americans? The Deep State let Hezbollah in with escort concierge service and open borders, now provokes Iran, so this is all very transparent that the point of this is to take my money and to take my rights away. There is nothing whatsoever to be gained from a war with Iran, unless you are a central banker who wants to depopulate for the purposes of a totalitarian scheme. The 2020-2021 totalitarian power play did not work, so here is the new angle. When war with Iran escalates, Hezbollah activates in the US and blows up a synagogue, and the security state declares lockdowns, digital ID, censorship of the internet, canceled elections or justification for mail-in cheating, etc. The same globalists blowing stuff up and “creating emissions” in the Middle East are the ones saying you cannot eat meat because they want you weak and do not want you to overthrow them.

FOB would like to say Happy Birthday to the US Army! US Army Birthday History: The American revolutionary war started on April 1775. The fighters that enlisted to fight against the British forces were militia groups paid for and equipped by the colonies, but without any organization, command, or strategy. Different groups fought under different banners which showed a lack of unity on the part of the US against their common enemy. When a battle was approaching in Boston in June, it became clear that Congress should find a solution for the militia strategy, which wasn't working. After the Committee of the Whole reached an agreement, the American Continental Army was created, with George Washington as its commander. This allowed riflemen to enlist and serve in the army, and a committee was appointed to create the rules and regulations for the said army. The first branch of the American military to be founded on that day was the Infantry. Over the year, the U.S. Army has significantly expanded its forces. The first Army service training program for new recruits took place between 1777 and 1778. In 1787, with the signing of the United States Constitution, it became defined that the acting President of the United States also acts as the Commander-in-Chief of the army. With the United States Declaration of Independence only having been enacted on July 4, 1776, this means that the American army is older than the country it serves. #USArmy #militaryhistory #fob

Unidentified Soldiers Of The 33rd United States Colored Troops The 33rd was organized on January 31, 1863, or February 8, 1864, as 1st South Carolina Volunteers Colored Infantry. Attached to U. S. Forces, Port Royal Island, South Carolina, 10th Corps, Dept. of the South, to April, 1864. Mustered out January 31, 1866 "No officer in this regiment now doubts that the key to the successful prosecution of this war lies in the unlimited employment of black troops. Their superiority lies simply in the fact that they know the country, while white troops do not, and, moreover, that they have peculiarities of temperament, position, and motive which belong to them alone. Instead of leaving their homes and families to fight they are fighting for their homes and families, and they show the resolution and sagacity which a personal purpose gives. It would have been madness to attempt, with the bravest white troops, what I have successfully accomplished with the black ones. Everything, even to the piloting of the vessels and the selection of the proper points for cannonading, was done by my own soldiers." — Excerpt from February 1, 1863 report by Colonel T. W. Higginson, commander of the First Regiment South Carolina Volunteers (Union) after the January 23 - February 1, 1863 Expedition from Beaufort South Carolina, up the Saint Mary’s River in Georgia and Florida. Some people think these men were forced to go to war. But make no mistake: Many did it because they were brave, wanted to protect their families and country, and hoped to be respected for their actions. #memorialday2024 #blackhistory365 #blackhistoryisamericanhistory Credit: American Black History - Old Photos

Do what you say you're going to do. That's leadership, and it starts with character. It also builds trust, a necessary element in elite performance and paramount to the success of #OperationJedburgh. For the first time, their story is told by those who live their legacy: current leaders of the U.S. Army Special Forces Green Berets, including Command Chief Warrant Officer of the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School, Gary Ostrander, and former Commanding General of the United States Army Special Operations Command, LTG(R) Ken Tovo. This is the story of Operation Jedburgh. D-Day: June 6, 1944. The Allied invasion along the beaches of France changed the course of World War II and set the world order for the next 80 years. As the conventional forces landed, America’s first Special Forces units operated deep behind enemy lines. Three-man teams consisting of one American, one French, and one British operator parachuted deep into occupied France starting the night before D-Day. Their mission: to link up and partner with French Resistance forces to conduct sabotage, subversion, and disruption attacks to prevent the German Army from reinforcing the beaches of Normandy during Operation Overlord. Win at all costs. Post-World War II, American Jedburghs went on to form the foundation of the Central Intelligence Agency and later the United States Army Special Forces Green Berets.
