1 of 4: A key lesson from OMG: the dangers of cognitive biases. Subconscious preconditions caused Monty to make terrible decisions. Complicated subject, so, we created a 4-part video tweet thread. First, we reached out to the @ArmyWarCollege for a definition of cognitive bias.
2 of 4: So, we've define cognitive bias. Now, in the 2nd video, our friend Charles Allen, Professor of Leadership at the Army War College, explains why cognitive biases are dangerous for @USArmy leaders.
3 of 4: Ok, that was a great theoretical explanation of cognitive bias and its associated hazards. What was the role of cognitive bias in the disastrous Operation Market Garden plan? What did Monty overlook? Sgt Major Mike Noggle from the 18th ABN Corps explains. @CsmBlaisdell
FINAL: What to do about cognitive bias? How can Army leaders hedge against the kind of subconscious leanings that led Montgomery and the Allies to fail? Mike Noggle & his airborne buddy Alex Burnett explain. Leaders across the Army: how do you avoid cognitive bias? @CsmBlaisdell

We can confirm that 120 Soldiers have left the Smoke Bomb Hill barracks, and we are working hard to move ALL Soldiers out of those barracks by the end of September. 1/4
In addition to the relocation efforts, 70 certificates of non-availability (CNAs) have been approved allowing recipients to find privatizing housing on or off the installation. Additionally, hundreds more have been pre-approved and being staffed for final approval. 2/4
Commands affected by these moves on Smoke Bomb Hill include units under the 1st Special Forces Command - Airborne and XVIII Airborne Corps units including the 20th Engineer Brigade and 35th Signal Brigade among other units/organizations across the installation. 3/4
Our Soldiers are speaking to us about the conditions at the Smoke Bomb Hill Barracks. It’s authentic and real feedback we need. We are listening and taking action!
Communication flow is every changing, and we are working to improve it. Our Soldiers deserve it. 🧵
We want all of our Soldiers to know we are working hard to make their quality of life better!
We have leaders across Fort Bragg already working to make their lives better, and we have resources committed to make this happen.
Moving 1,110 Soldiers won’t be quick, it will take time, but it will be done right. Our goal is to have everyone out of the SBH barracks by the end of September.
