The #BruteCast Col Andy Milburn, USMC (Ret.) - "Changing Corps Culture for Future War"
We’re in to a new year, and #TeamKrulak is very excited to kick off the 2022 #BruteCast season with this special episode. It features Col Andy Milburn, USMC (Ret.), who spent a couple of days here at Marine Corps University in support of several academic programs, and was gracious enough to carve some time out of his schedule to visit us at the Center. Col Milburn retired from the Marine Corps in 2019 as the Deputy Commander of Special Operations Command Central, the headquarters responsible for all US special operations in the Middle East. As an infantry and special operations officer, he has had operational command at every rank, to include leading the Marine Raider Regiment and a multinational special operations task force given the mission of defeating the ISIS in Iraq.
He’s a prolific author on military affairs, with publications that include his critically acclaimed memoir, When the Tempest Gathers, and articles for a number of publications to include the Atlantic, USA Today, the Hill, War on the Rocks, the Modern War Institute, and Task and Purpose. He is on the Adjunct Faculty of the Joint Special Operations University and teaches classes on leadership, planning, ethics, command and control, mission command, risk, special operations, and irregular warfare at U.S. and British military schools. He is a co-host of the Modern War Institute’s Irregular War Podcast and Irregular War Initiative, and also serves as a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute.
We discussed several articles written by Col Milburn, which can be found below:
"Losing Small Wars: Why U.S. Military Culture Leads to Defeat"
"No ‘surrender’ — What really happened between US and British Marines at a training exercise"
