Using female community liaison officers from @UN_MINUSMA, as well as French speaking women from the LRRG and partners from the German Army, the FET can do even more.

1963, Cambridge, MA. A psychologist is about to run an experiment with profound impacts on how instructors view students and leaders view their people.
Bob Rosenthal is about to discover the #Pygmalion Effect.
A thread about unlocking #potential for leaders and instructors
But first, h/t to @rcbregman. You can find this and other lesson on human nature in 'Human Kind'. I highly recommend it.
@rcbregman@UpSkillYourLife@dklineii@SahilBloom Back to Bob. He sets up two cages, each with the same maze. Then puts signs on each cage identifying one group of rats as highly intelligent, and the others as dull and dim-witted.
The catch? Both groups are perfectly normal and exactly the same.
On 31 Jan we said farewell to Captain Raymond Savage.
A veteran of the #Leicestershire Regiment, he fought in Norway, Malaya, and Singapore before building the Thai-Burma railway.
When he died at 102 last year he was known as 'the last man standing' - for many reasons.

Each year for Tigers Weekend Raymond would attend the service, march past and lunch in #Leicester. This involved him driving from Devon to Leicester and back the same day. He did this well into his nineties.
But of course his amazing story deserve to be told from the start.
Raymond Savage joined The Artists' Rifles in 1937 and was commissioned into The Leicestershire Regiment in 1939.
He commanded a platoon in Norway in April 1940. The British defence of Norway did not go well. “There was a rather one-sided fight,” said Raymond.
If you are interested in following someone who opens your eyes to what some of our adversaries are doing, then I highly recommend @CalibreObscura. They write articles and threads on non-state armed groups, their TTPs and their #weapons.
Here's a thread of their best work:

@CalibreObscura How about this: an interview with one Abu TOW, of the most prolific and well-known rebel #ATGM operators in Syria, or indeed globally. He's fired 140 ATGMs - and claims 133 hits. 2/ calibreobscura.com/fighting-with-…
@CalibreObscura Think you 'own the night'? Everyone does. But its worth looking at the low-light capabilities that are being used in Idlib and re-asking yourself if you really do. A fascinating run-down of IR/TI sights in use. 3/ calibreobscura.com/retaking-the-n…
This thread has too many heroes. But two stand out – the BGLO (Maj W) and the A1 Echelon Commander (Capt S).
One organises it, the other carries and distributes it. Nothing can happen without these two.
A1 Echelon can be up to 25 vehicles, if you include its protection. It’s a big beast. But the dozen-or-so SVs can carry all the supplies you need, including spares.
