DLC204: FUNDAMENTALS OF LEADERSHIP WITHIN THE ARMY

Is there anything else we need to do at this point?

Go alert your teams and get them ready for inspection.

I'm not sure what to do about Campbell. It's not like he's deliberately insubordinate, but he has his moments where it's like he's turned his brain off. I'm wondering if he's just not cut out for soldiering.

Let's go talk to him when he's done eating and give him some no BS feedback.

What other tools do we have for a case like Campbell? We might need to elevate this.

Let's review our options for counseling, coaching and mentoring Campbell before we elevate it any further.

Don't you think we need to tighten up on our equipment checks? Especially when we get tasks that involve special equipment. It just seems to me that those are fixed processes and procedures, where working with the team members can require more time and thought. What do you think, Sergeant Espinoza?

That's a good idea. Let's look at doing some timed drills.

CASEVAC? What's the deal, Sergeant? We're the best squad in the platoon. Why are we taking a back seat?

The CSM asked for us by name at the operational level.

Sergeant Espinoza, this vehicle is not operational. Does this Soldier know he's responsible for making sure the vehicle is operational?

This is my responsibility, CSM.

Your squad needs to be ready to move out in 24 hours. Any questions?

Yes, Sir. We'll need a replacement for an injured squad member, and the appropriate chemical protection and CASEVAC equipment.

Sergeant Espinoza thinks about what to do next...
