I have seen some questions about why #IDF #Armor #tactics look different from those that come out thenlessons of #Ukraine . It is not that #Israel hasn't learned from #Ukraine rather it is a matter of different threats & different capabilities. 1/3

While the @IDF is not perfect in their conduct of this war @SpencerGuard is 100% right that there is no #Genocide_in_Gaza . This doesn't mean that there isn't civilian suffering but in this war only #Hamas & its supporters have showed a genocidal intent & committed mass atrocities

This is the adult academic equivalent to saying “I haven’t done the research to show how John Spencer is wrong, but here, here is someone I know who doesn’t say that but has an opinion on Gaza.” Let me help you with any other academic and oh historians like @JacobStoil General

So in #Ukraine the battlefield favors dispersion & for the @IDF it favors concentration. The additional top protection and the use obscuration and #electronicwarfare are definitely lessons from #Ukraine .

#IDF heavy vehicles have a suite of active protection systems. This means when clustered they have a significantly greater chance of intercepting incoming missile threats & killing the shooter. It also allows them to provide protection for more vulnerable vehicles 3/4

For both #Russia & #Ukraine one of the primary battlefield threats comes from indirect fire. This forces a dispersment of armor. In #Gaza the primary threats comes from anti-tank guided missiles & #IEDs . In both cases unmanned aerial systems ( #UAS ) are part of the threat.

The casualty & bereavement units of the @IDF are a unique aspect of #Israel 's force. As the article makes clear they do heroic work under pscychological strain devoting their careers to caring for others. They're critical to the civil-military compact.

There are tons of bad historical takes comparing the level of destruction in #Gaza to cities that were bombed in #WW2 . This is a form of selection bias - bombing is often less destructive than #urbanwarfare . A better #WW2 comparison would be cities like #Manila or #Berlin . 1/?

I love the idea of crew rest for planners. There is a ton of research out there that says rest and reflection time is critical to good thinking and good decisions. This would also fight the #Army 's culture of unnecessary & false urgency and wrong belief that more hours = better.

I think it's unfair that pilots and operators get upper pills but planners don't. No one gives a shit about crew rest for the 5 shop; just pull multiple 24 HR ops day to get products for the boss and don't bitch about it.

I have to give a big #shoutout to @MUCVM #KansasCity emergency clinic! My #Dog was attacked by another dog and was bitten multiple times. The clinic was efficient & effective while charging a reasonable price! Thank you! P.S. #Doggo recovering well!

Just got back from San Diego and found myself pondering, what would it take to get the Army to move its PME to some place with a beach? Or at least within in a day's drive from a beach?

Great spending a day with @40thID ! In my experience it's a division with an excellent staff and leadership. Always a pleasure to get out of @us_sams to get back in contact with the operational force working on real world problems and get into planning with such a great team!
