Show Notes
Major General Chris Smith criticizes the spread of managerial jargon in the military, arguing it taints the profession and reveals a detachment from wars realities. He emphasizes the importance of seeking out enemies, closing in, killing, capturing, or holding ground, rather than focusing on vague concepts like information dominance. Smith ties these issues to decades-old problems and warns of over-centralized decisions. The army is now mandating warfare studies for officers, including a new Bachelor of War Studies degree, to build critical thinking and set them apart globally.
