On January 15, 1944, Col. Robert Selway activated the 477th Bombardment Group, a continuation of allowing African-American pilots to fly bombers just as the Red Tail African-American pilots flew fighters earlier in the war.

Read the story of the Freeman Field Mutiny and learn how the US Army Air Corps treated it's African American pilots. https://lnkd.in/g8NM5NQC

“…for conventional warfare, the US Army is the best in the world but has consistently failed to plan for and adapt to the challenges of irregular warfare.” Stumbled upon a very good article by John Nagl, author of Learning to Eat Soup with a Knife.

5th generation warfare (5GW) is fundamentally different from previous generations of warfare in its focus on manipulating perceptions and information to achieve strategic objectives. In contrast, previous generations of warfare were more focused on direct military confrontations, with clear distinctions between combatants and civilians, and the use of traditional military force to achieve objectives. 5GW represents a paradigm shift in strategic thinking, where the manipulation of perceptions and information often overshadows traditional military might. #paradigm shift
