| Pentagon unveils battlefield test to ensure new generals are warfighters – not Washington bureaucrats |

| [FOX] "People figure out they don't have to be the best at their job, they have to be the best at making sure their boss thinks they're the best," Stu Scheller, the senior Pentagon adviser leading the effort, told Fox News Digital. "And those are actually two very different things." "Right now in our current system, we have people that are very good at navigating their careers," Scheller said. "We have very good, I want to be clear, very good military personnel and leaders across the military, but there isn't a stand-alone function that can truly assess the best military commanders on the battlefield." Scheller said these performance reports will remain the "bedrock" of promotion decisions, while the JWE will give boards a separate measure of how well an officer can solve the kinds of military problems they could face in command.
… you need a sponsor, and having a sponsor who sits on the promotion board matters, greatly. That's how we get politicized generals who support racist, anti-American nonsense like DEI. This is a great, great step in replacing politics with merit at our senior ranks. This is what a revolution in military personnel affairs looks like. What think you, dear Reader: a good idea or no? |
