    Becoming a Littoral Soldier - Episode 4

    Becoming a Littoral Soldier" is a four-part Army Battle Lab audio series focused on operating in the maritime and coastal environments. Australian Army Infantry SMEs provide tips on how to maximise combat effectiveness for the individual while working from small craft, transitioning to shore and operating from the littoral. In the final episode, we close out the series with the environment itself. The littoral is physical, abrasive, and indifferent. What it rewards is preparation, rehearsal, technical competence, and the discipline to hold your standards when you're cold, wet, tired, and trying to make timings. Tactical fundamentals don't change near water. The strain on your body, your kit, and your margin for error does. Respect it, plan for it, condition for it. _________________________________________________________________________ Battle Lab playing our part in supporting Army readiness in the littoral.

    Live, Laugh, Lead – Episode Fifteen – Battle Groups and Beekeepers

    ‘Just remember, the tactics don’t matter ...’ In this episode, Todd and Jake discuss returning to their first residential course since their Officer Basic Courses to be given all the skills, knowledge, attributes and behaviours to be employed as all-corps captains. The first posting as a three-pip is likely to be as an operations captain, sub-unit second-in-charge or an adjutant and this is the course that completely prepares you. All Corps Captains Course (ACCC) is the first promotion course for junior officers and occurs at Canungra QLD. It is broken up into two modules, the Command Lead and Manage module and the Operations Module. Most of the war fighters in the Combat Brigades conduct the course in the first or last part of the year and the courses in the middle of the year are full of those that are not participating on the Joint Warfighting Series. It is best practice to scheme with your friends to stack the course you choose to participate in. In this episode, Jake plays another of his original songs – Goodbye Canungra – written while he was the Deputy Sherriff on his ACCC for the End of Course Function. The Sherrif and his or her Deputy uphold the social standards on a course or in a unit and do so by fining or charging those on the course for social faux pars. They also spend their entire time on ACCC planning the End of Course Function. Jake played Goodbye Canungra live to the course panel of ~80 Army officers bringing some to tears, most likely because the listeners had been voided of any emotions for the last six-weeks.

    Live, Laugh, Lead - Episode Fourteen - What a Privilege

    ‘We actually had a flea infestation, which really put the icing on the cake.’ In this episode, Todd and Jake talk through their experiences in the privilege of their first platoon and troop command. Many argue that one of the best things that you can be afforded is legal responsibility over a large group of people and that you should cherish that privilege because it is fleeting. This episode is about how we cherished our command. While you have already heard stories of the culmination of Jake's civil engineering studies with his ground-breaking Honours thesis, unbelievably the first project that he actually designed as a fully qualified engineer went over budget, over scope and over time. We tell the story of that project, fondly called The Deck at 6 Engineer Support Regiment that if it were to be dug up in one hundred years' time the archaeologists would wonder what the crew building it did because Jake singlehandedly quadrupled the amount of concrete in the ground with project mismanagement. In this episode, we talk through Domestic Operations in Todd ‘deploying’ to Hobart, Tasmania for three-months over Christmas and New Year’s Eve to provide oversight on hotel quarantine for seasonal workers that the state was desperate for. Jake tells the stories of building cyclone shelters and schools in Fiji as part of Defence Assistance to the Civil Community where he made-up the pivotal structural ratio of cane toads to concrete. This is the meaty content where we talk through achieving real things. Subscribe to The Cove Community Podcast so that you do not miss next week’s episode and the last in Season One on the first time returning to all-corps training since RMC-D, the All-Corps Captains’ Course with ~90 of your peers, and another of Jake’s original songs, Goodbye Canungra.

    Live, Laugh, Lead - Episode Thirteen - The Swagger Stick

    ‘Where there is smoke, there is fire.’ In this episode, Zac who is a current serving Adjutant in an artillery regiment joins us to talk through what an Adjutant does and what their expectations of new junior officers is. We talk through demi-official letters of introduction, meeting the Adjutant and Commanding Officer for the first time and how high or low the expectations on lieutenants are. Adjutants are the most senior junior officer in the unit and technically hold field rank. Apart from being one of the Commanding Officers closest advisers, they are responsible for a unit’s incident management, the discipline and standards of all junior officers in the unit and they are often the first point-of-call for a new lieutenant marching into the unit. Zac explains how officers marching into their first unit can distinguish themselves in their introductions, what your first day in the unit will look like and how an Adjutant can help you navigate your first command. He tells stories of incident management, phone calls in the middle of the night and the rewarding component of guiding the Commanding Officer’s decision making by being the of the junior officers. Subscribe to The Cove Community Podcast so that you do not miss next week’s episode where we talk about the privilege of command and what we did as platoon and troop commanders for the first time.
