The US Army is facing a challenge in maintaining information supremacy, according to a recent Inspector General's report. The report revealed that the Army is struggling to keep up with the increasing demand for Military Information Support Operations (MISO), also known as psychological operations or PSYOP. A major cause of the problem is the "divorce" between active and reserve PSYOP units. To compensate, the Army has been relying on reservists to fill the gaps, but this is not enough. The report found that the Army's four active and reserve PSYOP groups were operating at only 60% of their authorized strength in FY2023. https://lnkd.in/eFQy6YYf

An excellent training program designed to enhance the life-saving skills of combat medics and combat life-savers in combat situations. It is a tremendous honor to be able to facilitate these advanced training sessions for our #NATO partners. As number 1 service provider for soldiers in Europa we are proud to keep delivering these high quality trainings. Are you in need of any military training, and you are a NATO soldier? Please contact us. For our international public we translated the original post to English. Please read below. Medics from the different units of the 13 Light Brigade (Dutch Army) are being retrained in the field of first aid under tactical conditions this week. Various scenarios are simulated in which one or more casualties are present, priorities need to be established, and the enemy pressure is still present. No matter how careful or well-prepared you are, during exercises, missions, or significant conflicts, casualties can occur. Especially when facing an (almost) equal opponent, there is a risk of situations where you cannot call 112. If the specialized care someone needs is located further behind the front lines, the medic is the person who can save your life. Soldiers often have a primary task and a secondary task. For example, a corporal in the infantry who is trained as a secondary task to provide medical first aid. All military personnel receive basic first aid training (#ZHKH), but there are multiple personnel in each unit who receive further education. This advanced medical assistance meets the #NATO requirement for "enhanced first aid within 10 minutes." This approach bridges the gap between formal medical personnel (who are systematically about 15 minutes away) and colleagues (who are nearby). If #NATO calls upon our readiness, it is good to know that we (13 Lichte Brigade) can not only attack well and quickly and defend aggressively but also that your buddies around you can take care of you when necessary. #Medics13LightBrigade #ThisIsAlsoPartOfIt #WarfightingCapable #NATOShoulderToShoulder
