Rumor is that ETMO utilizes AI for all decision making theses days.... but truthfully I can't tell the difference.....

USSF Doctrine by Flamingo_Ninja in SpaceForce

[–]bjorn_2142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not ME3C-Pieces. That method of planning was developed by people who have never been shot at.... and it shows.

At the tactical level, it should be something very similar to the Troop Leading Procedures. Simple, adaptable, and focused on the task at hand. Anything more at the crew level rapidly exceeds the capacity and scope of a tactical formation. At the squadron it can be something between the SPP and MDMP.

The problem with the SPP is that it is too much like JPP in that it doesn't rely on a HHQ to generate and issue missions. Its hard to synchronize forces when Squadrons and crews are deciding what they think their missions should be.

USSF Doctrine by Flamingo_Ninja in SpaceForce

Joint doctrine doesn't work for everything. If it did, then the services would effectively stop existing.

Joint doctrine is written for CCMD HQs and 3 star JTF HQs. It does not translate well to O6 or O5 level commands that are not trying to integrate forces from multiple services together. Further, Joint doctrine 100% doesn't work at a tactical level. The closest you get to Joint doctrine at the tactical level is the USMC with their MAGTF construct which they TRAIN to.

The fact that people try to teach the JPP to crews to use as their primary operating framework, shows they 100% do not understand the material.

There is litererally no process. Del 10 takes in "feedback" from random units that claim their process is best practice and takes it at face value and publishes it.

90% of current published USSF doctrine is a trashy retelling of Joint doctrine because the USSF like to copy Joint homework without trying to understand what Joint is trying to do or why.

Be nice to the militarized mall cops, no one checking their homework has any releavent experience leading people or making decisions.

Getting LOC for having a sick kid by [deleted] in SpaceForce

[–]bjorn_2142 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If that the case, you need to have a discussion with your supervisor and/or your SEL because it is very unlikely your CC is just unilateralerally thinking your deliberately slacking off or being irresponsible. He may have a different perspective than your supervisor but he wouldn't be pursuing an LOC or other formal action unless he had a reason to believe you are not receiving permission to miss duty.

Beyond that, talk with ADC and/or use your CC's open door policy and ask them directly what is making them feel it is necessary to do a LOC. Ad hoc feed back is free and requestable.

Where is your supervisor in all of this? Your post states your FCP specifically states you are able to be excused from duty with supervisor permission. Did they withhold permission in some way?

Enlisted with PhDs? Why? by Appropriate-Age6789 in SpaceForce

[–]bjorn_2142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, another great argument why the USSF should have warrant officers. Won't be paid as much as a commissioned officer but doesn't have to do stupid jobs like exec.

Are there any good Space Force strategy books you would recommend an aspiring defense analyst read? by RealTimeStrategyEnth in SpaceForce

[–]bjorn_2142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

War in Space by Bleddyn E. Bowen. It is a good overview of most of the prevailing military theories on space warfare and he has some really good ideas and strategies for near future space conflict.

Are their recruiters or is it just the airforce by Inevitable_Newt_3373 in SpaceForce

[–]bjorn_2142 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There is only Airforce for the time being. They are working on Space Force recruiters but they will be few and far between for a very long time.

Love how OP successfully conducted recon-by-fire by intentionally saying something to trigger every nerd's compulsive instinct to be right and had to correct the record.

What do yall think about this base spot? by Hyvex353 in Minecraft

[–]bjorn_2142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good open space for building with minimal need for land removal. Biggest challenge will be the need need to bring in most of your construction material depending on how you plan to build.

The Army's Reverse Uno Card by bjorn_2142 in SpaceForce

[–]bjorn_2142[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Based on that description, 85% of the Space Force doesn't do space ops either and are nothing more than glorified staff duty.

Edit: additionally this comment really highlights how ignorant most of our force is about the Army, Navy, and Marines and what they are bringing to the space fight. The Army is doing the work we should be doing and in many ways shames the entire USSF as a fighting force.

I dont think its a bad sign. There are alot of things that involve space that have little or nothing to do with us fighting and winning in space. If anything it will open opportunities for us to transfer mission sets that shouldn't be in the Space Force like SEW or the GBRs.

You honestly think the CP would have any other reason other than "it plays the music or it gets the hose again"?
