Major General Joe Arbuckle on Meritocracy, Accountability and Military Reform
What does it take to rise from a private to a Major General in the U.S. Army? Major General Joe Arbuckle, US Army ret, joins STARRS & Stripes podcast host CDR Al Palmer, US Navy ret, to share his military journey, influenced by his father’s service and his decision to volunteer during the Vietnam War. He talks about his early training, his role as an infantry advisor in Vietnam, and his first-hand experiences during the pivotal Easter Offensive of 1972. Arbuckle paints a vivid picture of his path through the ranks of the Army.
Our conversation continues with an exploration of military evolution, focusing on the integration of missile systems in the Army. Arbuckle's insights reveal how these innovations reshaped combat strategies and division capabilities, underscoring the vital role of senior non-commissioned officers in effective team dynamics. Drawing from his rich experiences, he emphasizes that leadership’s core, whether on the battlefield or in command roles, lies in taking care of people and fostering strong team cohesion.
As we address military accountability and leadership, Arbuckle provides a candid comparison of past stringent measures with recent practices, highlighting the importance of integrity and responsibility from the top down. He also delves into the negative impacts of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives on military readiness, advocating for a merit-based approach to leadership.
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on leadership, accountability, and the evolving dynamics of our armed forces.
