The Future of War, and How It Affects YOU (Torpedo/Missiles vs Ship) - Smarter Every Day 211

It's a strange feeling to share this aspect of my life. I'm taking a break to go back to school, but here's a peek into the part of my life I've kept hidden from the internet for many years. I was asked if I wanted to film my last mission and use it as an opportunity to explain "Multi-Domain Operations" to the public. After much consideration, I decided that this topic (especially the cyber-domain issue) was important and chose to help inform the public. My mission was to participate in a missile and torpedo engagement exercise at Pacific Missile Range Facility as part of RIMPAC 2018. RIMPAC (Rim of the Pacific Exercise) is the largest naval exercise in the world. It's used to test interoperability and the ability to work as an international force.

My favorite thing about ATEC is that our motto is simply "Truth". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Test_and_Evaluation_Command I served for 15 years as a Department of the Army Federal Civil Servant at The Redstone Test Center. Multi-Domain Operations U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command https://www.tradoc.army.mil/ I coordinated this mission with U.S. Army Pacific Command https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Pacific ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Footage contained in this video has been reviewed and is approved for public release in accordance with DoD Directive 5230.09. The views and opinions of the narrator do not necessarily represent the views of the U.S. Army.

Until then if you appreciate what you've learned in this video and the effort that went in to it, please SHARE THE VIDEO! Warm Regards, Destin

Kyle Williams

Totally thought you worked at NASA in Huntsville!

Gene Benson

Destin, you still should charge us. The work is no less, on the clock or not. Just my opinion. As a long retired member of the contractor employee for the DoD, I understand the desire to build the best tools for the warfighter. Thank you for doing your best possible work.

Greg

I am jealous of your job. Not just because you get to shoot mini-guns and stuff, but because you get to take them apart and make them better. I've done some work in the military communications side of things, which is pretty cool still, but tinkering with a Javelin system would be freaking awesome.

Alan Bottomley

That was incredible. Very informative and inspiring. Keep up the amazing work!

Potte

This is one of your coolest videos yet. I've been working in defense on the private sector side of things for a few years now and I love it, but your job was definitely way cooler! Thank you so much for sharing this!

Volker B.

Very impressive and great video (in many respects). It is alway good to challenge information one receives, but some folks are really deep in their "fiter bubble" and don't even realize it.

Kristy

You weren't on the clock during the interview or during the hours of editing this video. Really, this video should "count" as a Patreon video. Especially proud to sponsor important thought-provoking videos like this one.

Clifton Ballad

You can have a dollar for this vid man, It was one of your best. My jaw was hanging open for the first half of it and I cant express how jealous I am. The second half had more insight into the world we live in than I've seen anywhere else, and was a thousand times more useful than the nightly news...

Joe Colletti

Gene, thanks, I have a different take on this. I've seen the divisions we have in our country as a threat an enemy could exploit, is exploiting. But I've never been able to articulate it anywhere near as well as Destin does here, treating it as one element of a multi domain conflict. For that reason, I'd like to see Destin get this video-- and the call for unity at the end-- in front of as many people as possible. If making it free-- or creating a short form version that a broader audience would watch-- gets that done, I'm in favor of it. That's *not* a slight against on the value of the video or Destin's time. On the contrary-- it's recognizing it's important enough it should be seen broadly. Thanks-- and thanks for your work at DoD making the country safer

Phil Moyer

Destin, sent you a note because I have things in it I don't want public. But, to summarize, thank you and Gen. Brown.

Stephen Wilkus

I tip my hat to you, yet again, Destin. Your curiosity, attitude, experience and grace, are well communicated once more. It is gratifying to see military commanders thinking so clearly and broadly about their roles and the world today.

Cousin Vinnie

Defending against all enemies foreign and domestic, also includes understanding and helping others not to be dumb. As you say, you must be an expert in various points of view, especially those contrary to your own, and I thank you, while not a service member, for your work to keep our country safe!

Cousin Vinnie

Also, As someone who's worked in the high speed imagery field, that shot of the torpedo hit was really, really cool! Thanks for sharing!

KC

Holy dot cow! What an outstanding and informative video. Thank you so much!! One domain that wasn't mentioned by General Brown was politics and it can be the most disruptive domain of all. In fact, politicians use the same multidimensional concept to achieve their ends. I do agree with your summation regarding unity of purpose and mutual respect.

Shane Brewer

So anybody here that can explain to an ignorant non militarily person what a 4 star general is? And also why that's a big deal. I know I probably sound really disrespectful, but this just isn't my stomping ground. Like I kinda figure they must be important but I have no clue. Also this video I think may be my favorite that you've made.

Stefan Schloesser

Hey Destin, thats probably the most controversial video you made. And I am not sure, if I like it or not. Although I am really thankful for that insight, for me that is really a propaganda video, promoting Military as a whole and armament. I really appreciate, that you brake it down to "the art of disagreeing well", but even you in your last note talk about "them" trying to divide "us", "this attack", "they are gonna find a division in our society", ..., "unity", ... This is standard crowd manipulation by leaders: Make the crowd feel an external threat, and you have the right and the force to "unite" them (behind your opinion). Because "uniting" always means: abandon diversity. That gives you power. And thats been used for centuries in history. Domestically attacked leaders always started external conflicts. Why don't you extend your request for learning the "art of disagreeing well" to "with them"? If we would "disagree well" all over the world, we would not need military. Even more, I dislike two often heard arguments: * "We protect our soldiers, thats not aggressive. That can't be bad." (In fact, the best protected Soldier is the strongest in field. And a perfectly protected army will very likely have no doubt at all to start any military intervention) * "We must be the strongest, so no one will attack us, so we do not need to fight. (implying: that would be peace on earth)" No, this will lead to us attacking others, because we are the strongest. Its balance, that causes peace, not maximum strength. When, in history have the US been attacked externally? One of the biggest countries in the world, surrounded by oceans, is frightened to be attacked? By whom? Sorry Destin, you just have been manipulated to manipulate others and spread the ideas of the US military.

Glenn Watson

The first thought that came into my mind would be the environment impact of that ship being targeted. I imagine people in the military have thought about that issue and they probably prepped the ship before hand. Eg removing the oils and other contaminants. I did notice during your videos the radar tower thingy was running though so there has to be some power going to the ship.

Marlo Delfin Gonzales

I have a thought on your defense of being able to disagree politely and thoughtfully. I personally make every effort to do exactly this right now. It's one of the reasons i'm able to converse with people who don't agree with me politically well, and why i'm able to challenge the ideas of even those I *do* agree with well. The problem is the amount of effort this can take. Being polite and arguing well can take energy, heart, and soul. This is fine for me. The disagreements and discussions I get into are not an all-consuming part of my life, and I can disengage from these and step away as much as I need to. But this isn't everyone. People who, for whatever reason, end up with much more attention than me have to deal with arguments, both thoughtful and not, in much more massive volume. I would suppose you know this being a youtuber of some fame, but i would also suspect this applies to people who, for various reasons, can't handle volume as well as you can. My point isn't to completely denigrate your idea, because I *do* believe it has merit. I fully intend to continue to behave in exactly the way you describe. But I would point out that that kind of behavior isn't for everyone, and likely least of all for those who have a huge audience and could have to deal with disagreements coming from all angles.

Steve

I like how WE THE PEOPLE was written where a bible reference would usually go at the end of the video. It's just another scripture being cited as far as I'm concerned.

Steve

that sounds like the 'people domain' the general described

KC

You could be right, Steve. I have come to think of "the people" and "politicians" as entirely two different things...politicians certainly seem to think so. :-)

Christopher

In this vein, I want to recommend reading Them: Why We Hate Each Other--and How to Heal by Ben E. Sasse. It has endorsements from both sides of the spectrum but is not a political book. Senator Sasse makes the argument that the national fabric of civic engagement is breaking down and we're lonely. Our loneliness is prompting us to turn to polititainment for comfort and lash out with our hurts.
