Is the Pen Mightier Than the Tank?

One of the most important elements of any large organization is to ensure free and clear communication between all levels and people. In the 1930s, the U.S. Army recognized this and relaunched Infantry Journal, which many attribute to helping craft tactics and technologies leading into World War II. Ninety years later and with new technologies and possible crises around the world, the Army has just launched The Harding Project, which aims to renew and re-energize the Army’s writings and communication channels. Host SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sits down with the Harding Project’s LTC Zach Griffiths and SFC Leyton Summerlin to discuss their own Army careers, the importance of the written word, and how diving classes influenced all of it.

 

Guests:

LTC Zachary E. Griffiths and SFC Leyton M. Summerlin, Special Assistants to the Chief of Staff of the Army
