For two weeks in March of 2017 we ran a widely popular series on fighting decisive action. The posts ranged from the  conceptual to very concrete ideas for how we can improve our organizations and ourselves for the next war. Our contributors included a four star general, a couple of lieutenants, and several ranks in between. We also saw ideas from England, France, and Australia. The idea behind the series was to start a conversation about improving our war fighting proficiencies, and I think we were successful.

If you would like to contribute to the ongoing discussion, please email me at JByerly81@gmail[dot]com. I will gladly work with you to get your ideas out on the battlefield of thought!
