Sitting here and listening to Kamiya, I was fascinated by his ability to frame this new triad – Tactical Art into a concept that makes sense for the today’s warfighter.
The individual, small unit leader and the small unit do not replace other triads they compose the new triad as Kamiya said earlier.
How do we get there?
Kamiya said USJFCOM has taken “some pretty bold steps.” USJFCOM hosted a variety of mini-forums with science, academia and military. They covered five broad areas.
1) Assessment and measurement – “How is the tool having an effect on behavior?”
2) Neurological application – “How does the brain act to extreme and impact on decision making?’
3) performance under stress
4) in extremis leadership – “What kind of leader do we need, who as a matter of course begins to feel very comfortable in any extreme situation?”
5) resilience – “The whole attitude of never quitting, winning forever.”
For more on what came out of the mini-forums see you at the next blog.
