Episode notes

One must comprehend both the operational level and the details of authorities and permissions in executing operations effectively. Rules provide a framework, but permissions need to be conveyed up the chain for execution, being subject to frequent changes due to the operational environment. It is essential to be intelligent, flexible, and adaptive in this context. Special operations personnel need to prioritize understanding rules and mastering the language of communication to remain relevant and effective. It is crucial to stop as a team, assess the applicable authorities and permissions, and acknowledge the importance of regulations, even if they may seem unnecessary at times.

The must listen to final episode of the Pineland Underground Podcast with Major Bobby Tuttle and Sergeant Major Chuck Ritter as the hosts/producers of the show. What sets great leaders and noncommissioned officers apart from their peers? What's expected of officers when they arrive fresh out of the qualification course to a Special Operations Team? How do you stay relevant as you progress in rank? We dive deep into these topics and more.

Special Operations Chess Theory digs deep into the question of "What is the power of a U.S. Army Noncomissioned Officer, and more specifically, a Special Operations Noncomissioned Officer? We talk to two highly experienced soldiers, Lieutenant Colonel Mike Salazar, and SFC Joe, about what an NCO is and what sets us apart. We then dive deep into Special Operations Theory and how it can be applied to the military or any business sector mindset.
