270610 - 6. Recently saw a movie with the title "Command Decision" made in
270611 - 1948 on bombing during WWII in Germany about 1942.
270613 - ..
270614 - 7. Two generals were discussing whether to continue bombing a
270615 - heavily defended target deep in Germany, where severe losses
270616 - were being suffered by the Allies, primarily by American
270617 - forces, since the US had the planes and pilots.
270619 - ..
270620 - 8. The subordinate general ordered bombing because intelligence
270621 - showed Germany had developed and was starting to manufacture
270622 - jet aircraft, which could dominate the skies, relative to ally
270623 - capabilities at the time. So, the general made a command
270624 - decision to trade heavy losses today, in order to avoid total
270625 - loss later. Seems like the right decision today that any good
270626 - marketing person could sell.
270628 - ..
270629 - 9. His boss, a senior general, was afraid he could not explain
270630 - such losses to Pentagon and Congressional leaders, and so
270631 - ordered these bombing runs to stop in order to avoid additional
270632 - and certain high losses.
270633 -
270634 -
270636 - ..
270637 - Air Force Resisted by Military Unnecessary Not Enough Time
270638 -
270639 - The senior general recalled efforts 10 years earlier, as a
270640 - captain, or major, (promotions accelerated when war started),
270641 - trying to convince DOD and Congress to support airpower. He
270642 - explained how many of his friends (early adopters, advocates,
270643 - adherents), were either killed testing early planes, or had
270644 - their careers destroyed because they tried to sell vitally
270645 - needed technology to people who had no experience with
270646 - airpower, and so resisted improvement by denial of benefits on
270647 - grounds that DOD had no requirements for an air force. (see
270648 - "disruptive technology" reviewed on 990527, ref SDS 1 1221).
270649 -
270650 - [On 041118 Gil comments similar resistance slows progress
270651 - toward a culture of knowledge using SDS for intelligence
270652 - support, because there is no "requirement" for accuracy in
270653 - business. ref SDS 13 4B9M

270657 - trying to sell it; today, Portlan Cement is the bedrock of
270658 - construction building materials. ref SDS 14 334L
270660 - ..
270661 - General Billy Mitchell was eventually given a chance, and in
270662 - 1921 successfully demonstrated that even crude, early versions
270663 - of airplanes could sink battleships, but even that did not sell
270664 - everyone. See research at...
270665 -
270666 - http://www.medalofhonor.com/BillyMitchell.htm
270668 - ..
270669 - In 1925, Mitchell was court martialed, and left the military in
270670 - disgrace. He was later rehabilitated, mostly posthumasly,
270671 - further demonstrating fragility of faith needed for
270672 - transformation in the beginning, reviewed on 030718 citing
270673 - knowledge of democracy was barely a "whisper" during the Roman
270674 - Empire. ref SDS 4 WZ7N Fear of losing life, career,
270675 - livelihood, payment, promotion taken together cause improvement
270676 - to take 50 years in an established culture, reported on 011210.
270677 - ref SDS 2 R66K General Mitchell died in 1937, and so never saw
270678 - his vision implemented just a few years later with the ramp up
270679 - for WWII. He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor by
270680 - Congress in 1946; the citation says...

270682 - AWARD OF THE CONGRESS
270683 - AUGUST 8, 1946

270688 - Same problem exists today, reported at NASA in testimony before
270689 - Congress on 030826 explaining why mistakes that caused the loss
270690 - of the Challenger in 1986 were repeated in loss of the Columbia
270691 - Space Shuttle in 2003. ref SDS 5 8K4G

270694 - prepare for meeting with Gary on future of SDS. ref SDS 12

270697 - ..
270698 - Disruptive technologies are opposed by people with lots of
270699 - money to pay for marketing people, who are highly skilled at
270700 - explaining sustaining technologies, because they have a lot of
270701 - experience, and there is more money in that field than in
270702 - trying to sell people something for which they have no
270703 - experience. These are powerful cultural forces that resist
270704 - improvement, reported on 990527. ref SDS 1 1233 Don Rumsfeld
270705 - described specific forces during remarks to the War College,
270706 - ref SDS 3 OFYR, where he went on to urge people to work for
270707 - transformation. ref SDS 3 QE4H
270708 -
270709 - [On 040829 reviewed why transformation for disruptive
270710 - technologies take a long time. ref SDS 12 VV45
270712 - ..
270713 - 10. The top general said his career was essentially an accident.
270714 - He was the "last man standing" advocating airpower against the
270715 - status quo of bureaucracy, reviewed on 040203, ref SDS 6 E44K,
270716 - when folks in the Pentagon and in Congress finally "got it,"
270717 - and suddenly "turned on a dime" when everyone realized war was
270718 - immenant based on Germany's success with airpower in Europe,
270719 - which was prominently shown by news reels in the movies in
270720 - those days. The brass looked around for someone with experience
270721 - and tapped him to head up the Army Air Corps. He described how
270722 - enabling forces suddenly came into alignment for his career and
270723 - for transformation from land and sea to land, sea and air
270724 - forces.
270726 - ..
270727 - 11. This general had fought so long and hard, and nearly suffered a
270728 - failed career, and loss of life trying to promote airpower,
270729 - that he was afraid to take the chance approving another bombing
270730 - run into Germany, in order to increase the chance of winning
270731 - the war by reducing must greater losses later, but where heavy
270732 - losses would be suffered immediately, because he could not
270733 - explain such losses to others (the bureaucracy where many must
270734 - say yes, but only one saying no stops progress), who are not on
270735 - the scene, and will not be able to understand, and so would not
270736 - approve expanding the budget to relace the planes and pilots,
270737 - etc., etc.
270739 - ..
270740 - 12. To make a long story short, the subordinate general wound up
270741 - winning the argumeent, because he was played by Clark Gable,
270742 - and in the movies, Clark always got his way, because that is
270743 - good marketing, and so a difficult command decision was finally
270744 - made to destroy the German factories building jet airplanes,
270745 - and this likely was a major factor in the eventual outcome.
270747 - ..
270748 - 13. "Command Decision," maybe you can rent it -- would be
270749 - interested in your take on the issues raised on transformation
270750 - in relation to our discussion coming up on 010910, and efforts
270751 - to enable a broader base of people to experience the power of
270752 - knowledge, the way the people eventually experienced air power
270753 - leading up to WWII.
270755 - ..
270756 - 14. We need a command decision on the ASB, whether to launch or
270757 - keep fine tuning. Again, I think deployment needs some work,
270758 - and maybe we can discuss later today.

280406 - telecon on Wednesday, there was discussion of suggesting that Cal
