#Production vs #mobilization.... With the holiday season upon us, this week's #sundayread starts a series of options for those looking to tear through some pages when you need a break from --- extended family time. I've been focused on defense industrial base (#DIB) #mobilization and #production lately. I distinguish production and mobilization this way: production is something you do in regional conflicts and (relative) peacetime. Mobilization is when your entire economy is diverted for the purposes of war. Production is limited to the existing #DIB; mobilization brings non-defense industry sectors in and makes them part the #DIB. They are also the first sectors that exit the #DIB when the conflict is over. The academics here may disagree with my rough characterization, but that's how I see it. Let's peek at the past and show the last time the U.S. mobilized (not produced) for war: the Arsenal of Democracy. Two volumes as a choice: ➡ "Freedom's Forge" by Arthur Herman ➡ "A Call to Arms" by Maury Klein I've read "Freedom's Forge" cover to cover. I use "A Call to Arms" as a reference guide when I want more details on something, be it price controls, labor/management relations, raw materials access, government organization, scale of the effort, or funding the war. "Freedom's Forge" is a Cliff Notes version of "A Call to Arms." More #holidayread recommendations to follow! #defense #production #mobilization #DIB

IMO… America *can’t* mobilize a wartime economy as it did in WWI or WWII. The building blocks of an industrial war machine where available to be mobilized in the 1910s & 1930s/40s, but 30+ years of globalization & deindustrialization have wrecked us. Trying to reenact WWII is a losing strategy. To win/survive, we need a radically different strategy based on a dispassionate 1st principles assessment of the capacity we can reasonably hope to build & mobilize on a timeline that gives us a fighting chance.

In our latest issue, Dr DONG-HA SEO from the Korea Military Academy, published an article titled 𝐌𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐀𝐝𝐨 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐀 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭-𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝. The abstract reads as follows: The purpose of the study on which this article is based, was to explore how to build cadets’ ability to fight against disinformation in a post-truth age. Considering lessons from the study of the human mind, invited us to examine why we fail to discern truths rather than how to win this fight. Disinformation – often interchangeably called “fake news” – seeks to shape or change perceptions of information users. The understanding of disinformation by our young leaders is crucial because it – i.e. sowing distrust and doubt among members – is dangerous and even fatal to the Army, which places great emphasis on mutual trust as its core value. The military in general and the Army in particular are expanding their information operations capabilities, as North Korea is one of the few countries that actively engage in a disinformation campaign. During their years at the military academy, cadets should however improve their ability to discern truths before acquiring skills relevant to a counter-disinformation campaign. The best way to enhance cadets’ ability to discern truths – even in a media-saturated age – is still to participate in deep reading, especially reading imaginative literature that fosters inventive as well as critical thinking. The current study argued that our grasp of human frailty through deep reading helps us develop an ability to discern truths.
