    Jun 24 2024
    Dr. Bill Nance joins me with some back history to help us better appreciate what we're talking about now, essentially explaining how we got the US Army we had in June 1944 going into Normandy. In the course of that discussion, there are topics of contemporary relevance too, such as Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO), the Military Decision Making Process (MDMP), the impact of finite resources, and planning for what happens in week two. Several publications are mentioned so they are linked below, and Dr. Steve Waddell is also mentioned, the guest in the preceding episode.

interesting work with an interesting perspective.

I really like the depth of the content in this podcast. Most does a great job of curating experts on somewhat niche topics that really expands the listeners' understanding of WWII. I personally wish the conversation wandered a little less but I love the content.
