AFC’s purpose is ensuring the US Army is the best Army at any point in time in the future. We have the best Army in the world right now, and we want that statement to be as true in 2027, 2030, 2040 and beyond. Another way to say that is, AFC is accountable for transforming the Army to ensure war-winning future readiness.   We live in a dangerous world during a period of unprecedented technological change. We are competing with determined adversaries. We can’t just out-spend them. We must out-innovate them.   The character of war is changing, and technology will punish unskilled commanders and untrained units. At the same time, the inverse is also true; whoever figures it out first and best will have a huge advantage on the battlefield.   As technology continues to advance, so too must our Army. ~ JER https://lnkd.in/ga4a3mAx

This could be the climate/culture game changer that the military needs. Culture is an intangible aspect of sustainable military operations that is often overlooked due to high turnover rates and operational tempo. We allows the ebbs and flows in readiness and chalk it up to a normal part of military business. I think that if we linked cultural sustainability to the promotion systems, it would add a new element to commanders intent. If Commanders started saying no to tasking and increased operational capabilities and tempo due to the projected impact on command climate, how would that sit at the higher echelons? I would stray to say that no one would be happy Sounds good in theory but the system is tainted from a much higher level, and this would take decades to have a meaningful impact.

**Support Your Local Infantry Lieutenant: They Need You** In the heart of our military operations, there's a group often overlooked, facing challenges that test their mettle daily. These are our Infantry Lieutenants – the brave, young leaders who stand at the forefront of our nation's defense. Many of these Lieutenants are fresh out of training, thrust into the rigors of leadership with minimal experience. They are responsible for the lives of their soldiers, making split-second decisions under immense pressure. The weight on their shoulders is immense, and their journey is fraught with countless hurdles. Yet, these Lieutenants persevere. They lead with unwavering courage, often putting their troops' needs above their own. They navigate the chaos of the battlefield, ensuring the mission's success while safeguarding their soldiers' well-being. But they can't do it alone. These brave men and women need our support – emotionally, mentally, and materially. They need mentors to guide them, communities to stand by them, and resources to help them grow into the leaders they are destined to be. By supporting an Infantry Lieutenant, you are investing in the backbone of our military. You are ensuring that the next generation of leaders has the strength, resilience, and knowledge to protect our freedoms. Let's come together to lift up these unsung heroes. Reach out, lend a hand, and show them that we stand behind them, just as they stand on the front lines for us. Your support can make all the difference. Stay caffeinated Aerial Resupply Coffee®
