Re estd the RDF of the 80s anew. Fwd base forces. Merge units & forces Revive the AirCav? Revive Armored Cav? Use new weapons & tactics. Think Lean, Fast & Smart. Use more UAVs & RPVs. Think Paratroops BUT more Guns for defense & offense but Mobile as Paratroops. CUT Army DC bureaucracy alone & expand forces.

The only thing that is constant is constant change! Static mentality in situational leadership is a liability! Anybody that thinks that our services cannot project power is mistaken. Maybe you are the Markist! Speed and effectiveness are needed across the spectrum of our armed services. How that is portrayed in the organizational structures should be as fluid as the body's biological defense systems with stand by stem cells ready to convert on an as needed basis. Quality in is quality out. We must look at the leadership of our services and their ability to adapt in a timely manner. If you cannot stand a rapid change muster than we have a problem, that must be addressed immediately. CVN,

Were #5! Were #5! Were #5! That chant should not be hard to get used to at all. If the US were number 5 in so many things that would be a vast improvement. If you do not see the connection between the chant and being an Army of One then perhaps I am in need of some vast improvement. 5 plus 1 equals 6 and that is the key to a not so secret secret.
