Although Alan is a fantastic writer and outstanding leader, I could not disagree more with his analysis of detailed command and mission command.

First and foremost, “detailed command” is not even a term you will find in ADP 6-0. My belief for the omission of “detailed command” within the ADP is that it harkens to a time of Command and Control…[Read more]

Brock,

Great topic and I appreciate you sharing your story with the forum. Often, especially over the last few years through the Army downsizing, I, as a leader, have not had the personnel or the qualified personnel in positions that are critical to mission success. I do feel that the “buck stops here”, as company level officers we have to coach,…[Read more]

I’d try and get your hands on some property management trackers. Spreadsheet format works well. If you’d like mine from when I was an XO, I can see if I can dig it up. It…[Read more]
