June 6, 1944 is arguably the world's most important day in modern history. It was the day the allied forces invaded Nazi-occupied Europe. D-Day! On tomorrow's 80th anniversary we will celebrate the bravery of the soldiers, sailors and airmen that help free a continent but how did they do it from a logistics standpoint? #DDay #Logistics #SupplyChain #MindBlown https://lnkd.in/eNzwrVXB

General Breedlove*: Why Greenland Matters “It’s a little hard to see why we’re having this rough public conversation with people who are our friends” 🎧👁️ The Cipher Brief 7 hours ago https://lnkd.in/gmz5G94C *Breedlove retired as the Commander, Supreme Allied Command, Europe, SHAPE, Belgium and Headquarters, U.S. European Command, Stuttgart, Germany.

The GIUK gap (sometimes written G-I-UK) is an area in the northern Atlantic Ocean that forms a naval choke point. Its name is an acronym for #Greenland, #Iceland, and the #UnitedKingdom, the gap being the two stretches of open ocean among these three landmasses. It separates the #NorwegianSea and the #NorthSea from the open #AtlanticOcean. The term is typically used in relation to military topics. The area has for some nations been considered strategically important since the beginning of the 20th century. (Wikipedia) #GiukGap #russiannavy #strategicimportance

We often think about military tents and fabric based shelters as the gold standard. They were only a small portion of what was required to win! Locations in the Pacific like Tinian and other small islands used prefabricated Quonset Huts as a means to survive tropical storms and protect sensitive equipment and resources. Today the ADAMS gives you the best of both worlds. Speed, strength and versatility. https://lnkd.in/guJuNSuF

Congress has ordered the Navy to study what #ships can be up-armed for a potential conflict with #China, with the Senate Armed Services Committee, “concerned with the number of #Navy battle force ships and vertical launch platforms for missiles over the next two years.” Frustratingly, the fleet left a direct answer to this question on the table almost 8 years ago. The force understood & posed novel solutions to fleet gaps in 2015 when VADM’s Thomas Copeman & Rowden proposed Distributed Lethality @ the Surface Navy Association. Distributed Lethality provided a refreshingly honest, public discussion by the surface force about our historic mistakes in weapons procurement & development while charting a practical path forward. That’s not to say DL was the be-all answer, but it was a strong start of an honest, pragmatic discussion that should have continued in earnest. Unfortunately, the institutional PR defenses went back up, DL died, and almost a decade of opportunity for advocacy on issues pre-empting #Congress’s concerns was lost. The institutional response has greatly improved, but the eight years lost after distributed lethality’s initial proposal should be a lesson to all that care about advancing American Seapower & professional discourse. #weapons #innovation #warships #leadership #Pacific #SouthChinaSea #Defense

From: Questions and Replies Between T'ang T'ai-tsung and Li Wei-kung The T'ai-tsung said: "Are the orthodox and unorthodox distinguished beforehand, or are they determined at the time of battle?" Li Ching said: "According to Duke Ts'ao's Hsin shu [New Book],18 `If you outnumber the enemy two to one, then divide your troops into two, with one section being orthodox, and one section being unorthodox. If you outnumber the enemy five to one, then three sections should be orthodox and two sections unorthodox. This states the main point. As Sun-tzu said: `In warfare the strategic configurations of power do not exceed the unorthodox and orthodox, but the changes of the unorthodox and orthodox cannot be completely exhausted! The unorthodox and orthodox mutually produce each other, just like an endless cycle. Who can exhaust them?'2° This captures it. So how can a distinction be made beforehand? * From the desk of Meiferuudo Sama also known as, Jefferson Troy Mayfield, Officer of the White Hand * Sawyer, Ralph D..
