Association of the United States Army - AUSA’s Post

I have been going through my military records today, and it got me thinking: What is your shoulder sleeve insignia for former wartime service and what does it mean to you? In case you do not know, the shoulder sleeve insignia for former wartime service, commonly known as the "combat patch," is a distinctive patch worn on the right sleeve of the uniform by US Army soldiers who have served in combat. It signifies the individual's participation in a designated wartime period or campaign.   The importance of the combat patch lies in several aspects: Recognition of Service, Unit Cohesion, Tradition and Honor, and Combat Identification.   A combat patch connects soldiers to the long history of the military and the sacrifices made by those who have served before them. It represents a sense of duty, valor, and pride in one's service.   Overall, the combat patch holds significant symbolic and practical importance within the military community, representing both individual service and collective sacrifice in defense of the nation.   My patch, you ask, is the Special Forces Patch awarded on 18 July 2007. #avgeek #military #aviationlovers #aviationdaily #aviationsafety #specialforces #helogirls #mentorshipmatters #militaryservice #veteran #combat

There are two pillars in nation building. One pillar is men and the second pillar is women. When both pillars are strongly placed then the structure of the country is most stable.

Top tip! Bring along clothes you love and that show off your personal style! The standard advice on what to wear for your headshot does tend to steer people towards a conservative look. And there are times when it pays to play it safe and follow the company culture! For instance if you are looking to join a new company, or to rise up in the ranks of your current organization, checking to see how the Executive team presents themselves online could provide you with ideas on what to wear for your headshot. But in many instances, especially if you are in a sales, marketing, or creative role, injecting some of your personality into your personal brand can help you to stand out from your competition! More adventurous choices of color, pattern, and accessories can help make you more memorable to your clients and prospects, and to “stop the scroll” here on LinkedIn. I absolutely love this pink jacket Katherine brought along to her Portraits For Patriots® session! Portraits of Patriots is a 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization with a mission is to ensure that everyone that comes through the program benefits from a high quality professional headshot to aid their transition. #volunteer #personalbranding #charity #stopthescroll 

US Army Chief of Infantry Major General Charles S. Farnsworth The Infantry Journal published Patton and Eisenhower’s “A Tank Discussion” in 1920. The essay posited that future tanks would not be the sluggish, mechanically unreliable machines of the Great War but precision vehicles with balanced firepower, armor, speed, and maneuverability. They encouraged infantry commanders to look at tanks as more than just a means for escorting soldiers across the battlefield and open their minds to the independent potential of tanks. Their discussion about the tank being more than an infantry-support arm became heresy. US Army Chief of Infantry Major General Charles S. Farnsworth threatened them both with court martial if they continued promoting this idea. Major Bradford G. Chynoweth published an article in the Cavalry Journal in 1921 predicting that the tanks of the future would replace mounted cavalry. General Farnsworth reprimanded Chynoweth for suggesting that tanks would play such an independent role in future wars. #militaryhistory

Delving into Flag Precedence, a crucial facet of military etiquette, referencing Department of the Army Pamphlet 600–60(A Guide to Protocol) offers detailed guidance for soldiers and DOD civilians. Understanding the hierarchy of flags symbolizes our commitment to order and tradition. In the words of General Douglas MacArthur, 'In no other profession are the penalties for employing untrained personnel so appalling or so irrevocable as in the military.' Let's internalize this wisdom, ensuring our commitment to excellence echoes in every detail. 🇺🇸 #MilitaryEtiquette #USArmy #FlagPrecedence #ArmyProtocol #ExecutiveServices
