Shifting the Paradigm: Combat Casualty Care as a Top Training Priority
By MAJ Jonathan Austin

This article emphasizes the urgent need to prioritize combat casualty care training for non-medical personnel in close combat force. It highlights the limitations of evacuation in large-scale combat operations and the importance of organic lifesaving capabilities, such as hemorrhage control and blood administration. Examples like the 75th Ranger Regiment showcase effective training models, including walking blood banks and advanced casualty care techniques.

Notable Quote : “Casualty response capabilities must have parity with physical fitness and tactical proficiency in the eyes of warfighters. Close combat forces have the most to lose from a lack of a casualty response capability but also have the most to gain. Preventing loss of life and limiting the severity of an existing trauma is the surest way of returning warfighters to the fight so they can win.”

Building the Elite – A 5-Day H2F Immersion Program
By LTC Tyler Patterson and CPT Nathaniel Piser

This article details a five-day Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) immersion program conducted by the 2nd Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment in May 2025. Activities included injury screenings, personalized fitness plans, meal-prep programs, sleep hygiene education, and mental/spiritual readiness sessions. Feedback highlighted improvements in sleep, nutrition, and injury prevention, with participants valuing personalized guidance and recovery techniques. The program emphasized the importance of leveraging H2F resources and integrating spiritual and mental fitness for holistic Soldier development.

Notable Quote: “Success in H2F may be hard to define as it doesn’t always mean higher Army Fitness Test scores or faster 12-mile ruck times. It may look like an entire platoon doing the world’s greatest stretch, fewer Soldiers going to sick call with knee or shoulder pain, or possibly a company’s Soldiers discussing their “whys” with the battalion chaplain after summiting Mount Ka’ala. No matter what it looks like, if you build it, they will come.”

2025 Kermit Roosevelt Lecture
By GEN James Rainey

In May 2025, GEN James Rainey represented the Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA) at the Kermit Roosevelt Lecture in the United Kingdom, an annual event held since 1947 to honor the close relationship between the U.S. Army and British Army. The Kermit Roosevelt Lecture series is an exchange of military lecturers who address military officers and national security professionals with the goal of strengthening transatlantic relationships and improving interoperability and mutual understanding between the two nations. In a series of three lectures, GEN Rainey provided a candid assessment of the challenges confronting the military profession in a rapidly evolving security environment.

Notable Quote: “The biggest mistake any army can make right now is think that any amount of technology, any amount of change, is going to ever eliminate the requirement to close with and destroy the enemy, take ground from them, kill them, hold that ground. So we should aggressively pursue any advantage we can get from technology, but we can’t forget that the horror of war, close combat, the ability to close over physical ground and take land, take things away from our enemies and then hold them, is not only not going away, I would offer, is probably more essential on the future battle than it’s ever been.”

Breaking Calcified Bureaucracy with Daniel P. Driscoll, Secretary of the Army
By JJ Sutherland

Daniel Driscoll, the youngest Secretary of the Army since George Washington’s first appointee, is a veteran of the Iraq War, a lawyer, and a former business leader. Now, he’s leading the charge to modernize the Army and redefine how it makes decisions, learns, and adapts. In this conversation, Driscoll explains why urgency is non-negotiable, how Agile principles are helping dismantle outdated systems, and what it takes to shift from rigid hierarchies to fast, feedback-driven teams — especially inside the oldest and largest branch of the military, whose traditions and scale make transformation both essential and especially challenging.

Notable Quote: “The entire mindset has to change, of not just how we procure things, or we build things, how we think about going to war, how we create our strategies for conflict with a peer like China, it’s just all been for the last couple of decades based on these very long waterfall timelines.”
