In our first podcast we build the foundation of performance pursuit with understanding how a philosophical approach to conflict engagement has impacted the worlds greatest fighting force…The United States Marine Corps. Major John Schmitt (ret.) who authored the Marine Corps “Warfighting” document MCDP-1 , helped lead major reform in strategy and tactics post Vietnam era. We asked Chief Phil Jose (ret.) to join us as we discuss the parellels of fire combat to war, and if modern fire service conduct could benefit from such reform.
