MSCOE Protection Forum in Fort Leonard Wood lifts the importance of command for survival | Article

Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. – The leaders of the army met on May 13th and 14th in Fort Leonard Wood to discuss the survival of the command during the second annual Protection Senior Leader Forum in Fort Leonard Wood.

Col. Mark Glaspell, the 1st engineer Brigade Commander, said the maneuver support center for excellence and Fort Leonard Wood could be the supporter of protection, “but everyone has a role in the protective function of protection.”

“The topic of last year's Senior Leader Forum was the operationalization of the protection function of protection. This year we would like to use the Lessons for Army 2024, Command Post Survivability,” said Glaspell.

Col. Joe Elsner, training and doctrine command command order office for protective chiefs, describes command after survival ability as “the quality or ability of the military armed forces that enable them to avoid or withstand hostile actions or environmental conditions and at the same time to maintain the ability of the commandant to organize and to organize command and control networks, systems and procedures synchronize.”

The two -day event offered the army and specialist managers the opportunity to discuss how Mscoe sees protection. Panels with a variety of leaders in the operational and institutional armed forces, including Tradoc, Combined Arms Center and Mscoe, were also taking place.

To open the forum, Major Christopher Beck, Fort Leonard Wood and Mscoe commander gave an overview of the training that MSCOE soldiers, seafarers, planes and marines in Fort Leonard Wood.

He then turned his attention to the topic of the forum and asked the participants to question the concepts presented during the discussion.

“The reality is that protection must begin with a way of thinking. We are happy to believe that we have no protection here (in Fort Leonard Wood), we synchronize it,” said Beck.

He said war forces had to think about protection from a fundamental perspective, so the leaders have to consider what protection means for them and their formations.

Beck continued to explain that protection is the most important war function based on “youngest things that we see in the operating environment”.

He presented questions to the participants that they wanted to ask themselves throughout the forum. “How does the enemy fight? How will the enemy put pressure on us and how will you try to kill us?”

He said the protection was multi-domain and must be integrated and synchronized with all other war functions.

“Protection must be in the depth and width of the battlefield. We use the terms that store, enable and deny. I would like to highlight the denial aspect, because what really means is how we can proactively receive after protection before the enemy can even involve us. How can we have the opportunity to get involved in the enemy?

In addition to the forum, General Gary Brito, General Command of the US Army and doctrine command.

“We all have skin in protective game, regardless of their branch, their military professional specialty or their supporter,” said Brito. “Protection is the responsibility of everyone.

He said through training courses, Tradoc gives throats the basis you need to implement the protection.

“We train soldiers and develop agile managers with skills that offers a basis for the use of a further transformation that we continue and come,” said Brito.

Lieutenant General Milford Beagle Jr., the General Command of the US Army, also spoke to the war fighters, before the participants broke into separate groups and encouraged soldiers, the way they think about protection.

“Protection is complex, but we have to be able to simply explain it,” said Beagle. “We have to change our behavior and how we think about protection.”

He described command contributions as onion cores because they are the innermost level.

“Everything we want to try with our enemies try to do us,” said Beagle. “We have to protect ourselves, starting with our extreme layer. We cannot allow ourselves to be understood, because if we are understood we can be discovered. We cannot let the enemy penetrate our layers and descend on our core.”

Beagle encouraged the participants to continue to study the protection of protection, to share what they have learned and continue to educate themselves after leaving the forum.

The throaters spent the rest of the day in briefing, listened to the keynote speakers and initiated panel discussions in order to further promote the discussion to protect the war fighting.

When the participants did not take part in a forum meeting, the participants visited 75 providers displays that issued battlefield technology in Nutter Field House.

At the end of the day, the soldiers met in the Lincoln Hall auditorium, where Beck asked them to continue the protection discussion in his closing comments.

“This can be a confusing warfare or a confusing system, but it is also the most fundamental. I ask us all to continue this dialogue. We have to drive this change,” said Beck. “We could go to war tonight, and the reality is that we are preparing to successfully implement the protection and execute them to the battlefield.”
