I can count on one hand the number of Army dudes I’ve worked with who I think actually have a clue about what they can and should do in PACOM. I’m also primarily talking regular Army. Higher functioning SOF dudes are a different story. Army makes their money in USFK

June 26Jun 26 Who let the retired Army guy write something about the air force? lolFor such an experienced and supposedly smart guy, that article is crap. Wants to consolidate different areas of effort, but only from the air force and no other services. Maybe he should just write about how much the Army continues to waste in cancelled programs. Maybe we should take the DFAC away from the Army and consolidate into a singular ‘Food command’ or better yet privatize it. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/06/25/upcharging-food-selling-booze-armys-plan-privatize-dining.html?ampSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
June 27Jun 27 The land components just lost two wars and are mainly responsible for our Euro-centric defense posture that allows the Europeans to freeload whilst we go broke defending them. Not interested in a damned word the Army has to say...
June 27Jun 27 He lost me at the first paragraph. While the Air Force has had its boondoggles, the leaps in technology have been much greater. What is the last leap in technology that the Army has funded and been fielded? The U.S. Air Force, once at the technological vanguard, has become burdened by decades of bureaucratic growth and failed weapons procurement. It is time for our leaders to make radical change. The Air Force must be broken up to meet the demands of 21st-century warfare.
June 27Jun 27 Yeah, it was not a shock that he was retired Army, methinks he believes divide and conquer, more smaller branches mean easier pickings for the… Army. We need reform but not disestablishment. I hope there is a retort in the works.
June 27Jun 27 Well sucks for this guy, for the first time in probably ever, none of the combatant commanders will be Army; CJCS is still Air Force, the Army continues to become less relevant than Air and Naval Forces especially looking at the IPC AOR. Heck, even in CENTCOM, Army’s main mission is protection, C-sUAS, and missile defense; most ops and strikes are accomplished from the carrier or the Air Force. Anyone who’s ever worked in a joint environment knows how frustrating and annoying the Army can be and I’m glad that’s starting to change.
June 30Jun 30 We could try the elemental approach: Air, Space, Water, Ground Force. Tolstoy: War Force and Peace Force. Spear method: Kill Force and Support Force. J method: Personnel Force, Intel Force, Ops Force, Logistics Force, Strategy Force, C4 Force, Training Force, Medical Force, Cats and Dogs Force. Mental abilities: Normal Force, Special Force. Morality: Good Force, Evil Force. Miller: Tastes Great Force, Less Filling Force, aka Eat Shit Force and Fuck You Force.

For the record I don't agree with most of the Army generated statements mentioned earlier. As I touched on in another thread these are what I see as the Army's biggest contribution to the Indo Pacific fight.

Arstruc just posted today and that’s basically what it says. As a non nuclear force hypersonic offer a seat at the table, particularly when we already own the air defense and the rear area security side of things.

More of these systems on the PRC perimeter the more they deter the PRC from starting something in the first place IMHO. Add in AEW capable MQ-9s flying back and forth (among other assets) 24/7 in international airspace as a trip wire.
