Mustread document. So sort of a heady responsibility. Saying take this manual thats been harold in some way revolutionary, at least evolutionary, and update it. He said in the process of doing that, you need to speak with the original authors to get their insight, what intellectual process did they go through and Lessons Learned in writing this. I said, all right, sir, ill do it. So general petraeus at that time, cia, came down and spent the day. We had a conference. We talked about all of the processies, both intellectual and physical that they went through in writing the manual. Went out to other authors. Got their input. About six months later, i went back and said, hey, sir, were looking at this. I have a new vision of how we want do the manual. We want to change bits and pieces of it. Awning. Did you talk to the original authors . Yes, sir. He said, well, did you talk to all of them . I said, i think so. In fact so far, ive spoken with 100 of the five original authors of that docu
So it became a targeting exercise. It is math problem. So i focus on acquiring targets and engaging targets. It was about synchronizing firepower. How do you synchronize firepower . When in a complex world, what we are saying is synchronizing firepower in and of itself is inadequate. What we are saying the army has to do now, if you want to win at strategic level, we cant only synchronize and deliver firepower, we have to synchronize and deliver National Power. National power is much larger than firepower. Firepower is part of it. But National Power means canan u deliver economic capability. Can you enable diplomatic capability. Can you enable all of the instruments of the United States National Power to be able to focus and win at the strategic level. So now you say, you know what, my staffs have to be different. I have to have different kind of people on the division staff. They cant not only know about artillery but they have to know about diplomatic activity. They have to know abou
War it self. That shapes what we are looking at. If you view the onset of civil instead oftively, seeing all of the differences between north and south, you tend to spot the similarities. Think about it. , a two sides in the conflict war of rather against brother in some cases, literally so. The two sides shared a common language. They had similar cultures and religion. They shared a similar political philosophy. The north and south employed virtually the same weapons, used the same tactics, their top commanders graduated from the same military academy. Union put an army in this war, the confederacy put an army as well. Large, bute been as an army is there nonetheless. In other words, this is a surprisingly symmetrical war. In fact, it is hard to think of a more symmetrical war. Data such as these, which you have all seen . You have seen figures like this showing the resources of the north and the south in everything except cotton. Well, folks, i put it to you. If these statistics were
The clinics have traditionally for 12 years worked on the care transformation and focused on that level. In february of 2012, we became an aco and we will have over 200,000 patients in and 1800 providers. We had rapid growth and thats a challenge to sustaining this. We have been successful and as an aco and surprisingly so. In the interim report, we did not save money for medicare and we did by a lot. So with that it kind of was the accumulation of a good year in the commercial and governmental setting and also with our own employers and employees. We have an initiative working direct low with them going on as part of this work. Part of the reason kind of taking off about this is here and its here to stay. One of the reasons we were successful is we have been saying that my leader who many of you probably know said that for ten years. We have been planning and i would add for those of you in the Service World like we are in iowa, you dont have to wait. You can do it now and make it wor
Questions that this one has answered. Berlin battle, operational and tactical level of war. This one is operational tactical and strategic level of war. Battle, built to deal with the known. This is to deal with the unknown. Unknowable and constantly changing. Probably trying to solve the battle with a fight out number to win. And this one wins in a complex world. Now, not only do each of those words have a very specific meaning, if you look at the battle, the implied task is to win, you had to fight. If you look at when in the complex world, the focus here is winning. The focus is on winning. In fact you may not have to fight to win. But, a qualifying mark, but as soon as i say that, people say, i love that idea. Winning without fighting. But the only way you could possibly win without fighting, is it must be absolutely clear to everybody involved that if you do fight, you will absolutely win. So it has to be clear to everybody that if there is a fight, there is no doubt who is going
