Very well said and reading and writing are becoming lost arts. I am asked more often than not to provide a breakdown for people because they don't feel they have the time to read a regulation or OPORD. But many times they are not good or fast readers because they don't use that muscle anymore. I look forward to seeing what you do to improve the force with the Harding Project. Leaders are readers!
Well put. Can you send me a link to your 3D printing sustainment article? I would love to read it and share it. I imagine a future where the SSA is transformed is into a 3D printing manufacturing warehouse and I want to see if my idea falls along the same lines as yours.
Great article! You make very valid points. The hurdles that we have at the unit level to get some of these machines are aplenty. Every time I broach the idea, I get told that the “innovation lab” has it and we don’t need one. This includes the 82nd and the 25th. Across the Army, I think that we need to boldly embrace additive manufacturing and let our Soldiers tell us what they can do from the bottom up instead of top down. They are more creative than we realize.
Marcel,
