the army vision came out. what the army vision laid out is, what should the future look like for the army in the year 2028 in terms of everything we do, how we man, organize, train, equip, and lead the army? and really what they did is brought the -- jump-started what i call is a renaissance in the united states army with regard to everything we do. our priorities have remained the same and will. readiness number one, modernization number two, and reform number three. reform is the means by which we free up time, money, and manpower to do number one, number two better. i know you want to talk about readiness but i'll give you a quick metric in souch ground we've reclaimed when it comes to the readiness of our forces. so at the end of 2016 we had 18 brigade combat teams. our most common metric that were in the top tiers of readiness. today we have 28. that is a 5% increase in the short period of time -- 55% increase in the short period of time because of getting more money from congress, which was extremely hel

i know it's the army. i was lake. >> i had all the wrong notes there. >> i will confess i'm off the red eye. >> that's my little brother. >> spo mark esper, 23rd secretary of the army. graduate of the u.s. military academy served about ten years in the army and including service during the gulf war. to his left is the secretary of the navy, richard spencer. he is pennsylvania 76th secretary of the navy and served as a pilot in the marine corps previously also served on the defense business board. all way at the end, hearth wilsoning withes 24th secretary of the air force. graduate of the air force academy and air force officer herself and she previously served in congress tor where her committee assignments included the house armed services committee. thank you for coming even if i can't get secretary esper's name right. i appreciate you coming today. let me start with a broad question and go down the line. it's two years into the administration. a year since the national defense strategy has been released

so critical to the army? it's as simple as this. if we do not modernize the force now we risk losing a future conflict against russia or china. it's that simple. we cannot continue to live off vehicles and equipment that came into the army when i came into the army in the 1980s. it is that urgent that we get in done and implement that budget. there's more to that we can talk about, but our reform measures have helped us fund both of those. there are a number of other things we've done and i don't want to occupy all the time here, but we made a lot of great progress and i'm happy with how far we've come and an exciting time in the united states army. >> great. >> i will build right off of what mark said. there was no difference in baselining where we started the united states navy. i will preface by saying something that some of you have already heard that when people ask me what was your biggest surprise when you took over as secretary of the navy having hung around the hoop here with the defense business boa

the army is not one group. the rank and file of the army, they are poor.t. it takes more people to go into the street, so as to put pressure on the army to move in. it's true that president bashir is trying hard for the army not to move. in the revolution of 1964... when we removed gaafar nimeiry in 1985, this is not new. i am sure that, with more pressure, the army will take the side of the people. what evidence have you got that the rank and file, the footsoldiers, as it were, do support the aspirations... more than 13 army officers, some of them are lieutenant colonels in the army. there is information that there is a wider discontent within the army itself. because the leaders in the army, the generals, like the chief of staff, kamal abdul—marouf al—mahi, have said at a recent gathering attended by the minister of defence and other army chiefs, "i affirm our military commitment to guarding our homeland, and standing behind its leadership to protect sudan's national security and its citizens." i mean, you are not going to be able to get the army to move

- 250,000 young men into the british army. we find the numbers seem to have disappeared here, but what we that about one in 10 are wounded. sorry. what we find is that about one in three are wounded. one in 10 are killed. one in 20 are captured. that gives us a grand total. i'm sorry it doesn't play out so well on the slide. >> maybe try to back it up one? maybe we are having buffer problems. dr. adams: not to worry. to a 7081ans is that or47% are killed, wounded, captured. 2at is one into -- 1 in british officers have something that happens to them. often, it is terminal. that sense of survivor's guilt is there with those who survive. there are many in the interwar. fromterwar period, who die effects from poison gas attacks and so on. that is common. a common experience to everything i goes on. can we go on to the next? what is common? british, it is that they are brought up in a relatively small world. it is designed to promote leadership and serve the wider empire. going into theut armed forces, but everyone would have been

in first army. this command climate bred inordinate caution. it sur pressed initiative and elan and was made worse by senior staff officers whom bradley who had commanded first army hodges would describe as touchy, high strong, unforgiving and resentful of all authority but their own. back to the war. again, this gives you an idea of the lay of the land and the opposition army. seven allied armies would advance eastward that included the german industrial centers of the rural in the north and the czar in the south. the rind seemed awfully close across the most promising frontage on the entire allied line. first army with help from the new ninth army above it was to sweep forward 10 miles to the aurora river. and then another 10 miles or so toward cologne on the rind. the attack would be led by general joe collins' seventh corps. here you can see the hurtgen forest outlined in the green in the center of the map. fifth corps on collins' right was to clear out the hurtgen forest in order to gain maneuv

why does the army need that budget and why is it so critical to the army? if we do not modernize the force now we can risk losing a future conflict over russia or china. it's that simple we cannot continue to live off the equipment from when i came into the army in the eighties. so it is that we get this done and there is more to that we can talk about but there are a number of other things we have done but we made a lot of progress and it's a very exciting time in the united states army. >> i will build off of what mark says there is no difference to baselined the navy i will preface it by saying what you've already heard when people ask me what was your biggest surprise when you came to secretary of the navy? the defense business board and the executive panel i thought i had pretty good insight into the readiness issues at hand. i was nowhere near close we had flown the wings off of the planes and the bottoms off the ship we have stretched the sailors and marines to the nth degree with the 17 raa the 1819 budget ladies and gentlemen, condition for readine

we have a volunteer army it's their own choice to serve is no doubt that we suffer lots. of disabled but our morale is high because the goal is freedom and to serve the people of afghanistan and. in the past few months the military has lost control of more than twenty areas to taliban fighters who seem able to strike anywhere. in total we have lost twenty one districts in all over afghanistan it is because of the change in tactics on the ground so we are planning a spring offensive where it will take two to three months to retake all these districts from the taliban but real reimposed the rule of law. eight thousand recruits every year pass out of this training center in the capital kabul most of them are trained by afghan instructors taught by western military experts who despite the high casualty rate young men are still volunteering to fight this partly out of a sense of past duty but it's also because of the dire economic situation here they face the stark choice either stay at home and enjoy your poverty or face the taliban and risk death or injury and that from the

we concentrate our army, we can defeat the army. what most battlefield generals try to do was put the concentration in place. but grant and lincoln saw a concentration in time spread over a broad front, so not physically concentrated, but concentrated at the same moment puts the enemy in a position where they have to choose where they respond. both men saw that and saw in the other, which is interesting. john: this is what i think is so great, too. lincoln basically says to grant, they talk and know they generally agree. he says i know you will do the right thing so i don't really care to know the specifics. just do it. basically says win this war for me. this is what grant basically does. he pressures, pressures. you look at the virginia campaign. what normally happened with lincoln's other generals is they would attack into virginia and fight somebody, usually robert e. lee, and get defeated and then they would turn tail and go back to washington. grant does not do that. he keeps moving forward. some people say he is nothing but a

each one of those visuals are part of the army, navy, -- of those individuals are part of the army, marine corps. these are the men who breached the wire. it is the heavy guns, the coast artillery, the infantry, the navy. sort of a forgotten aspect of world war i. each one of these men was of thed to tell a part american expeditionary forces's story in world war i. it is an extraordinary story. each one of these individuals could literally be a movie. they are some of the most decorated soldiers and sailors and marines in the american missionary forces. they each have eight unique story and aspect of world war i that i tell. . body bearers james delaney was a twentysomething sailor that had really been most of his life had been at sea. his body was inked with tattoos. mate17, he was a goner's and he was chosen to be an armed guard on a merchant ship. the war even before started, president wilson wanted to deal with the u-boats that were sinking ships, even american ships. merchantded to our vessels with naval gun crews. james delaney and a crew of 15 the s s campgned to and a merchant ship

the women's army corps was first, right? first it was the women's army auxiliary corps, waac. officially became part of the army. but people made fun of their name. mainly their acronym. wac, quack, right? this idea of what a silly name. so as the other branches created their own women's organizations, they worked really hard to make better names. i know, right? but it's about the names. it's about, you know, when you're competing, you're going to work on all levels, right? so the waves, that's nice, right? that's nice, right? it's anning a nichl. it's the navy. it's water. but that's -- you know, are you a wave? are you a wac? rig right? so, you know, it's one of those silly things. their uniforms were important, too. one of the women i've studied said she almost joined the navy because they had such cute hats, right? you know, it matters. you know, the army -- look how brown that is. right? that's not pretty, right? that's kind of pretty. right? here's the spars. this is the coast guard. right? so semper perratis is their latin motto. always ready. s.p.a.r. isn't that clever

the opposite end of the spectrum is the army. as mark referenced, the army has made clear it's in the process of cancelling a lot of its modernization programs or ending them and shifting in a new direction. it's doing this so it can align behind the six priorities the army came up with in the last two years as its answer to peer competition and how to get there. i want to give the army credit. haven't seen the budget yet. we did a study a couple years ago recommending that they develop clear priorities and then very much align their modernization around that. they're doing that. i still think the army has challenges as well. one will be executing on new programs. that takes a lot of capacity that the army is going to struggle to develop, human capacity as well as organizational capacity. it's also a challenge for sticking with it. over time, you can cancel a lot of programs, harvest money, but the army still has this larger dilemma of the competition between force structure, readiness and modernization. modernization historicall

the competition within the army that is a longer-term challenge for the army. going forward in the competing years. the navy is a middle case. a lot of ship programs and they are not born overnight. they take a long time to get going. the navy has several shift designs underway. the designs are inherently flexible enough to take on new missions without being radically designed. that's the beauty of these large capital ships. the navy does have a strategy in areas like uavs. with the mq 25. the way that could evolve. they have room when it comes to uv's and serviced unmanned vessels. i don't think they -- they have been very active, especially in the small uva space. lastly touching on my organization, it was created to drive change. the departments modernization programs. they are poised to do that. in a couple areas there has been a strong foundation laid. i'm thinking of hypersonic systems, and asymmetric systems. i think they will be challenged to make rapid progress on things like artificial intelligence and directive energy. the foundation there has not be

wasr the 34-year-old general in chief of the united states army in the middle of the civil war. the mcclellan's were prominent on the party scene in the summer -- in the winter of 1862. even as the white house, congress and newspapers fumed at his delays in confronting the enemy. in lincoln's phrase, mcclellan ows.the sl in fact he had serious mental problems. mcclellan's daily letters to nelly revealed that he was often diluted, always paranoid and narcissistic in the extreme. nelly said her husband's disdain for lincoln and his cabinet in her letters. mcclellan had his own problems to be sure but she begged him on in tirades against his civilian and military superiors. nelly might have realized that she married a complex and proud young man but she couldn't have imagined the consequences to the nation of her unquestioning support for his worked worldview. she had joined her husband at his home on h street in washington in 1861 when he took command of all union forces. when mcclellan finally moved his army south in april 1862 nelly begin traveling north to new york and connecti

as i'm concerned, the army also includes the army reserve, giving a combined force of about 112,000.imately 3,500 soldiers who wear a uniform and are proud to call themselves soldiers, but are currently under training. so, i think she needs to think about what definitions she's actually using. the national audit office has recently confirmed that capita has not recruited the required numbers of regulars and reservers in any yearsince the contract began in 2012. clearly, extra resources are needed, but may i also suggest that the government considers restating the 2nd battalion, the royal regiment of fusaliers, which was the best recruited unit in the army when it was disbanded? well, i've been here long enough, mr speaker, to be able to pay tribute to my honourable friend for his consistent defence of the 2nd battalion, the royal regiment of fusaliers. but as the national audit office equally said in the same report, the army has already conducted a full review of the current recruitment strategy, and as a result, the contract with capita was realigned and a comprehensive improvement

without the army we have no chance and.was still totally uncertain who was really behind the coup. was in munich the authorities hesitated to join hitler who there was confusion in the hall was i tell this and it's had happened often in such was hitler now revealed his trump card the retired general at a clued in golf. during the war he had been head of the high command and was still very popular now he was prepared to be the figurehead of hitler's insurrection. in using a stronger chatroom the difference you see today was going nuts only charge. off to berlin roared the crowd. the generals appearance clinched the matter one card in the offices present joined the coup attempt. it was just now my never gone ask often. does you know i wouldn't offer others hitler and other fun also. general von law so an enemy of von secrets was supposed to become the defense minister in the new government. because all this is our chance they won't like he's lost on hitler he won't take orders from the loss of. his rival lost so was to be his

because the very argument he made equally applies to the army and the size of the army. it equally applies to appropriations. if congress can't meet to increase the size of the army, then any increase by the executive would be illegal if congress had the monopoly on the size of the army or on appropriations. so the logic of his position i think suggests that he should be able to do whatever he thinks is necessary when congress is not around. he didn't quite say that, but that's the logic of the position. and i think a lot of people have read it that way ever since, right? that my friend, mike paulison, has an article called the constitution of necessity in the notre dame law review, where he just says, the president takes a note to protect, defend the constitution. he can't protect it and defend it if the nation, you know, that the constitution is meant to govern no longer exists, because of invaders or rebels. so the president should just be able to do whatever he thinks is necessary to preserve the nation and therefore preserve the constitution. and that's a very seduc

he was expecting a massive defection from the army, the venezuelan army, so we can say that guaido, hisame time we can say that the venezuelan government suffered a defeat as well. it is a com plete suffered a defeat as well. it is a complete stalemate. the venezuelan government suffered a defeat because the whole world saw in venezuela it is the army together with some thugs and militia that are governing, and they will not hesitate to fire against civilians. as you say, some soldiers have dfat did, but certainly not high—level military defections that guaido wanted. —— soldiers have defected. does this mean the opposition‘s attempts to oppose president the bureau have failed? —— attempts to depose president maudro. i think this will all be over very soon. it is just one month afterjanuary 23 when guaido said that he was the president of venezuela. and it is very, very early, i don't know why this strategy to pretty emotional slogans before any strategy. it is very early. maudro is controlling the army, it is a government and a regime. —— maduro. this whole state is controlled by peopl

the power of the army. that is exactly right. it is towards the end of the war, but at this point, we want to convey this military machine. an article proclaims if our readers desire a clear and vivid depiction of the appearance and extent of an army of 80,000, let them look at the painting. then the article says something very pointed -- it shows what a great thing and army is. what a great thing and army is. i titled this lecture "what a terrible thing war is." at this point in his career, hope has garnered the praise of military leaders. mcclellan was incredible he happy with his painting, probably because he was depicted very prominently in it, but he was also showing the immense magnitude of this military machine. what is interesting is hope is also doing something that is a departure in the art will going back to the 18th century, and that is he is showing soldiers as they appeared in life. this is a very famous image. west, the death of wolf. this is during the seven years war. i know a little bit about it, and i can tell
