A timely reminder of two things, if either were needed: (1) learn first aid, it’s selfless and vital, and (2) the Cadet Forces are simply incredible, instilling both a sense of purpose and sense of fun. BZ from all #ACSC23

There’s a reason we do first aid training. Tonight I performed CPR for the first time, at a road traffic collision. It wasn’t nice but it was necessary. I can’t urge people enough to get trained and have the confidence to help. Doing something is always better than nothing.

In a new post on Cormorants Nest, Lt Col Frank Reeves reflects on his Hacking 4 MoD experience as part of the #ACSC23 Advanced Vocational Stream: people skills, Socratic questions and creative tension... There’s more to it than you might at first think.

So, you have a great idea… what are you going to do about it?

Friday book club:👇 is General Mattis’ analysis of how to lead in a chaotic world. Much useful advice for #ACSC24 students. “Any commander who claims he is ‘too busy to read’ is going to fill body bags with his troops as he learns the hard way.” @Army_Leadership @HeberAckland

New students arriving at #JSCSC see "The Defining Moment". Commissioned to mark the moment on 8 Sep 1997 when the JSCSC was defined by the start of the first new Advanced Course, it bears the names of all those present that day, and those serving at Bracknell. #ThrowbackThursday

This evening staff and students from the @DefAcUK Advanced Command and Staff Course laid a wreath at the Bayeux War Cemetery. A fitting end to a day of contemplation, reflection and discussion. We will remember them. #ExCormorantFinale #DDay75 #LestWeForget @CWGC @DefenceResearch

Thanks to @SiobhanHRSheri and @DefencePeople for talking to us about organisational culture in the MOD today. Chilcot made us aware of the dangers of culture. How can we avoid the pitfalls? Leadership, Awareness, Communication, Inclusivity...? #ACSC24

In the lastest blog on Cormorants Nest, Lt Col Chris Dobson of #ACSC23 makes a case for how British long-range precision strike could be the UK’s most telling contribution to European hard security below the nuclear threshold.
