Again I just wonder how the committee members who wrote that report could include the whole the "failure of leadership in garrison" by Company grade officers in the report. <br /><br />This kind of seems to be a theme in Army/Pentagon level study groups. It is all Generals/Admirals, with a few super high ranking politicians. Why can't you and I go in as the "Captain" level perspective? We could even blog about the study group as it is happening, bringing Pentagon study groups into the Web 2.0.Michael Chttp://www.onviolence.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293152265787061341.post-74379929075741502452011-01-10T19:25:22.124-05:002011-01-10T19:25:22.124-05:00Mike: I don't know if you got a chance to rea...Mike: I don't know if you got a chance to read my part on the draft at offiziere.ch, but I kind of use the first portion (of three) to thumb my nose at the VCSA's diagnosis of a "failure of leadership in garrison".Starbuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02013102906896853767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293152265787061341.post-37865195947787574822011-01-10T19:18:17.915-05:002011-01-10T19:18:17.915-05:00Starbuck why do you keep blaming the two wars we a...Starbuck why do you keep blaming the two wars we are fighting, instead of looking to the most obvious candidates, Company Level leadership? That's what General Chiarelli initially blamed didn't he? (Sarcasm in case anyone didn't realize.)<br /><br />I still can't believe the initial army report laid even some blame on Company level leaders, and sorry your post just reminded me of it. I get the feeling that our Generals look at soldiers on the line and think, "man when I was a PL I never would have let that happen". <br /><br />Can I get a Soldier Fitness Tracker facepalm?Michael Chttp://www.onviolence.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293152265787061341.post-27019897562516661192011-01-09T01:59:09.419-05:002011-01-09T01:59:09.419-05:002 AAB 1 ID has a similar tracker leaders fill out ...2 AAB 1 ID has a similar tracker leaders fill out on their soldiers on a monthly basis, and as part of a pass/leave packet. Failure to mitigate the risks associated with being "spiritually unfit" can lead to denial of favorable actions.
