The US Army requires lightweight, low-profile transportation to navigate a variety of aquatic environments. Army leadership tasked U.S. Army TACOM LCMC to identify a cost-effective family of inflatable boats and motors (FOBAM) capable of fulfilling mission requirements. ADS worked with TACOM LCMC to create a cost-effective procurement and supply chain solution for fielding and long-term sustainment needs. We implemented processes to monitor the supply chain, ensure timely delivery, and verify U.S. manufacturing compliance. Additionally, we developed a training video to educate personnel on the proper operation and maintenance of FOBAM components. Learn more about ADS partnered with our marine equipment manufacturing partners to meet this challenge: https://brnw.ch/21wOoaE

In follow-up to our Chloropicrin chemical warfare agent review (see the article at the website), comes this helpful tip from a SOCOM CBRN NCO: "Don't walk into colored clouds." Colored clouds frequently represent chemical warfare agent dispersal. This slide from our online Tactical-CBRN class notes that Chlorine gas dispersals often have a "yellow-to-green appearance." Note the background sound stage color was not chosen randomly... Teaching points happen whether you intend them to or not: attention to detail in training matters. #TECC #TCCC #18D #hazmat #CBRN #CBRNE #TCBRN #HazardousMaterialUnit #masscasualty #MCI #tacticalmedic #NFPA #firehazmat #handsonhazmat #hazmat #hazmatteam #hazmattech #hazmatspecialist #FireFighter #Rescue #crisismedtraining

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐟𝐟 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭 I've got one book and one report for the stuff section this week. What's on your list? 📖 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 Robert E. Rubin's, "𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑌𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤 𝑃𝑎𝑑" is a love letter to risk management, black swans, problem framing and 'probabilistic thinking'. The former Clinton Treasury Secretary challenges us to think about how to think. Taking the time to look at the scope and scale of risk beyond standard deviations enabling his readers to seek comfort with uncertainty. Rubin's considerable experience in government and banking at the highest levels provides a great case study of his applied experiences. If you get the chance, grab this book - it reads remarkably smooth as well. 💼 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐟𝐟 Foreign Military Studies Office (FMSO) M-DIME assessment on Russia in Mali. I will nakedly state my inexperience with most of the African continent, so I snatched up this report given its relation to my interest to Russia. The great work by the folks at FMSO reminds us that Russia remains a competitor beyond Europe. Russia continues to seek opportunities to challenge the United States by undermining our efforts globally. This challenge is acute on the African Continent where we have struggled to counter Russian influence in the region. Quick to read, interesting to think about.

This past spring, #ArmyMadSci crowdsourced our community of action’s insights with our "Calling all Wargamers" flyer. We were overwhelmed with the number of responses we received — a hearty Mad Scientist "Thank you!” to everyone who contributed! We will be featuring more of what we learned in upcoming blog posts and podcasts in the weeks and months ahead, leading up to our Mad Scientist Conference on hashtag #Wargaming later this fall — stay tuned to the Mad Scientist Laboratory for more information about this event! In today’s blog post, Andrew Olson addresses one often neglected aspect of wargaming Large-Scale Combat Operations (LSCO) — Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response (#CHMR) — now a DoD priority with the implementation of DoDI 3000.17 on 21 December 2023. Failing to address CHMR during the execution of LSCO could have grave operational and strategic consequences for the United States. Incorporating CHMR injects early and often during wargaming iterations can provide our Leaders with the requisite situational understanding on how to successfully execute combat operations, achieve mission objectives, and win decisively on the battlefield, while simultaneously complying with our Nation’s CHMR policy. Check it out at: https://lnkd.in/grA4AqKz #TRADOC #ArmyModernization #AWC #CNA

I am incredibly honored to be published a second time in the MCTOG Quarterly with my article updating coastal defense, amphibious defense, and counterlanding doctrine in our Service and the larger Joint community. A little over a year ago, in the Summer 2023 Volume IV edition of the quarterly, I wrote an article on Rectifying Amphibious Doctrine. In it, I highlighted amphibious defenses as not being prioritized since the 1936 publication of the US Marine Corps’ Tentative Manual for Defense of Advanced Bases. A little over a year, Counterlanding: Updates to Doctrine, highlights how far we have come. In the past year, we have introduced the ideas of amphibious defense and counterlanding to the Joint community. The Marine Corps is now the lead agent on a draft Joint Doctrine Note (JDN) titled JDN 1-25 Coastal Defense (CD), Amphibious Defense (AD), and Counterlanding (CL). It is scheduled to be published during the November/December 2024 timeframe. This JDN provides fundamental principles and guidance for joint force commanders (JFCs) to plan, organize, execute, and assess CD, AD, and CL operations. For Service doctrine, AD is first introduced in the rewrite of MCDP 3 Operations, which is our capstone Service publication on operations (formally two publications, MCDP 3 Expeditionary Operations and MCDP 1-0 Marine Corps Operations). This publication revision was a specified task in Force Design, and it is in final editing mode after the last round of general officer staffing and comments. In addition, the revision of MCWP 3-01 Offensive and Defensive Tactics (the capstone Service publication on tactics), which was also a specified Force Design tasker, has a new chapter titled “Counterlanding.” This publication is in final editing with HQMC doctrine branch and will be published soon. Lastly, this Fall the Service begins revising MCWP 3-10 MAGTF Ground Operations, the capstone Service publication for all ground operations publications. This publication will nest under MCDP 3 and explain how ground operations contribute and support CD/AD, while linking both to counterlanding as explained in MCWP 3-01.

The network defines the effectiveness of a Human-Machine Integrated Formation. Parry Labs is enabling the US Army to do something that has never been done before: operate uncrewed ground vehicles and their payloads from beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) positions while conducting Cross-Domain Maneuver. We’ve optimized a robotic formation with a secure, BLOS network that assures connectivity with automated degradation. Through the Parry Labs developed PACE plan, Soldiers and Leaders can successfully maintain assured control with their robotic teammates while conducting multi-domain reconnaissance to dominate the decision cycle. #Uncrewed #Ground #Army

The Contingency Location Operations Rehearsal (CLOR) 2024 took place at the Combat Readiness Training Center from June 24 - 28, sending close to 100 Airmen across the country to practice for future deployments. During the CLOR, Airmen focused on implementing the Agile Combat Employment (ACE) concept through practicing command and control of dispersed force elements in a simulated wartime scenario. The CLOR also presented an opportunity for the United States Air Force to integrate new technologies. Air Combat Command's Agile Battle Laboratory (ABL) organized the operation rehearsal and in partnership with AFWERX Prime and Air Force Research Laboratory, focused on testing developmental electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. “This new class of air vehicles has the ability to revolutionize air transport generally and significantly improve the Air Force’s ability to conduct agile combat employment operations,” said Ian Clowes, AFWERX Prime capability development lead. “The eVTOLs that Agility Prime has been supporting are so radically different from most any other air vehicle, that the most effective way to understand how to use them is to put them in the hands of Airmen with problems to solve.” Read more here: https://ow.ly/ZzNQ50SEyWr . . . #AFWERX #Prime #AgilityPrime #AFRL #USAF #Airmen #DAF #DoD #CLOR #eVTOL #AgileBattleLaboratory #training #airtransport #innovation
