This was a very interesting book. I hope everyone reads this. It will be a must read for any defense professional. The book is a listing of various ideas from MG Bob Scales. These ideas were very eye opening. They will get the neurons firing for any reader. MG Scales does a good job of pointing out American historical shortfalls. Those shortfalls were in the area of infantry. The historical step children of the US Army. He then goes and explains how warfare has changed over the last 20 years. Our investment in the billion and trillion dollar weapon systems might not be the best tool to meet these threats. He does talk about how some new weapon systems like in the artillery to meet these threats were shelved due to political correctness. The answer to meeting the new threats is people, and specifically people in the infantry. I liked his ideas on training. I am not sure how workable it is for today's intense tempo army but they are great.
Scales is angry. I'm angrier.Why the infantry (Marine and Army) get to suck hind tit for the dubious privilege of fighting in the mud and slime while DoD focuses on super-expensive toys that add little or nothing the battlefield where the close fight takes place is beyond me.Winning wars should be more than luck and bravado. But that's how we've elected fight lately, right?Message to infantry soldiers, Marines and Spec Ops guys: Get him before he guts you. Public opinion be damned; the world's a very dangerous place, especially in the close fight.
I love the fact General Scales addressed a lot of concerns Infantry Soldiers have in service. Thinking back to my squad leader days, we had to make a ton of adjustments to old and outdated manuals and doctrine. Surprisingly as an NCO, I always had support from my field grade officers to make changes. These changes included how we operated as a small unit (similar to SF small unit tactics). However, to extend these tactics past battalion took military political hurdles and being self critical I could have done a better job envangilizing the need for MAJOR changes. I deployed with the 101st ABN Rakkasan and several times with the 82nd ABN. It’ll be nice if there was an added chapter on shaking up recon units/platoons . I often found myself on stack teams versus a hide/ambush site gathering intel. My brothers who served you know exactly what I am talking about. Battlefield intel and the ability to be agile and pivot is essential. Although addressed in this book, I am bias towards this topic.
Scales presents a realistic picture of where our ground forces stand today. Riddled with depleting resources, poor narrative control, a shrinking budget, and Reagan era equipment our ground forces no longer have the best equipment and training they need to succeed on tomorrows battlefield. Scales holds nothing back in this book when ridiculing past and present leadership for continuously ignoring the evident needs of the Army. He does however find time to praise some noteworthy leaders who have made positive impacts on the military institution. He makes it quite clear and delivers one of the best arguments for a resurgence of ground force investment. A he repeatedly marks on throughout the middle chapters of the book is the low numbers in which our air force and navy personnel die in combat and yet those are the branches continue to receive most of the funding and most of the updated and new equipment! Our ground forces and close quarter warriors are at a drastic disadvantage when it comes to chances of death in war. For a country so averse to dead Soldiers you'd think our military would allocate more funding to keeping them alive. Better rifles, drones, communication equipment, leadership, body armor, armored vehicles, platoon and squad level transportation vehicles are all things he touches on in this book. While only a cadet set to commission this Spring, I find myself hoping that by the time I take to the field our leadership will have already begun financing better means in which to keep our future soldiers alive.
I don't 100% agree with MG Scales, but I understand his thoughts and intentions expressed in this book. I fully support his position that the ground pounder, grunt, or infantryman; what ever you wish to call them have been and continue to be neglected in the military's procurement process. Having known MG Scales since his days as the Commandant at the US Army War College and having experienced the military procurement process first hand with Army and as part of the Special Operations Command I have to say I think his foresight has helped and thank him for that.
Excellent book by a true military intellectual. I hope that the people in the Department of Defense who are responsible for spending taxpayer dollars for research and development will take the author's advice and develop technologies that will benefit the people at the tip of the spear (special operations and infantry troops).
General Scales provides an insider's view into the reasons for our nation's lack of investment in infantry close combat forces and its strategic impact when the enemy inevitably refuses to fight a conventional war.
Given the current emphasis on high cost weapons systems, Bob Scales makes the case that defense dollars first priority must be directed to the "point of the spear" - that is the combat infantryman who has borne the demands of today's wars. A must read for defense appropriations decision makers and those who care about our service members (all branches) who are the boots on the ground.
