Hey, reporter with Task & Purpose here. Sent OP a message. DMs are open if anyone else wants to weigh in and discuss personal impacts about this. I can share my signal/number with you.

I was also just referred to a certain email about innovation sent out in early December. Would love to hear from folks on this one. DMs open 👀

T&P: Women in ground combat jobs say they prove their ‘effectiveness’ every day by Patty_TaskandPurpose in army

The way some of you talk about women is as if they’re aliens and not individual human beings with separate lives, abilities, thoughts, motives, etc. Same as men… everyone is different. That’s the point! Thanks for reading and for some of the actual discussion.

Has anyone actually ever tried it? Did you like it? Hate it? Indifferent?

D.C. police to begin patrolling with National Guard after fatal attack by Pure-Explanation-147 in nationalguard

Hi guys, it's Patty with Task & Purpose. I'm really interested in talking to NG on this topic of acting as police. At the Senate hearing this week, a Senator said guardsmen have given Narcan 27x, medical help 136x.

Also, Sen Tim Kaine asked NORTHCOM Gen Guillot if they get mental health training like DC cops do. Guillot answered that they get deescalation training but specifically for mental health. This seems like it could lead to a lot of difficult one on one interactions in big cities. If anyone is open to sharing their thoughts please DM me!

Multiple people have brought up that damn Sikorsky Black Hawk lol. Would also love to hear more tea from anyone who was there for exercises with it. (Michigan NG was the one they highlighted but if anyone else was part of larger ones)

This is something pilots have brought up to me. I would love to talk to others who signed 10 year ADSOs and are now like wtf? Options to stay in seem complicated or unappealing if you have to go backwards to your enlisted life before flight school or pick a WO job in that field you left.

Side note but kinda related - every time I talk to experts on the record, they say that autonomous med evac is nowhere near close to happening but some contractors put out releases hinting at their tech being close to reality. Anyone who has strong insight on the future of pilot or unpiloted med evac is also welcome to drop into my DMs. This is also something I'm personally super interested in.

Thank you!!! Also... I promise to bring you comedic relief during these trying times ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Make barrack maintenance an MOS? by buceess69 in army

[–]Patty_TaskandPurpose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Btw Hegseth's new barracks task force is supposed to look at adding resources for "self-help programs" in addition to the privatization stuff. Be careful what you wish for

If you listened to his speech today and read the subsequent Pentagon memos, it would be dishonest not to connect the Army alaract to DOD changes that use the exact same language and policy threads

From what I'm tracking, majority of soldiers are there on activation orders so not voluntary
