“The thing that really pushed me was that I wanted to be in uniform and also express my culture ... So being in the Army and being told ‘Be All You Can Be,’ well this is a part of me." @SD_Guard Spc. Moses Brave Heart 🔗nationalguard.mil/News/News-Feat… #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth

I’m excited to announce the launch of my new website! You can explore my research, fellowships, publications, & more. I will also start blogging about the Vietnam & Cold Wars on the website soon, probably in Vietnamese & English. Check it out here: codyjbillock.com
This, from the U.S. Army doctrinal text, ATP 7-100.3 “Chinese Tactics” is as historically myopic and inane as claiming: “Quintus Fabius Maximus and David Petraeus together created the framework from which the U.S. military's modern day strategy and tactics are derived.”
#SHAFR #twitterstorians I’m starting to think about panel proposals for @SHAFRConference 2025! Anyone interested in (or already organizing) a panel on US-Vietnam? I’d like to present on bilateral relations in the late 1970s. Let me know! @SHAFRhistorians #SHAFR2025
Am I allowed to use this as a slide for a lecture to U.S. Navy folk, please advise

1/ As today is the 31st anniversary of the Battle of Mogadishu, "Black Hawk Down," it is my great pleasure to announce that after years of research and preparation, my book, Beyond Black Hawk Down, will be released with @Kansas_Press in the Spring.
MAJ Cameron Colby of the American Division recently published "Jamestown 1622" with Osprey Publishing. This illustrated work provides a detailed overview of the Anglo-Powhattan Wars with updated maps, illustration, and narratives:

The Arsenal of Democracy is back.
Scranton, Pennsylvania. I visited a plant that manufactures 155 mm artillery shells. Now, for our warriors who are defending not only our country, not only Ukraine, the plant will be ramping up production. I began my visit to the United States by expressing my gratitude to all…
It was great being back at @WestPoint_USMA to receive the Thayer Award and spend time with some incredible cadets. They’ve embarked on a life of service – striving on behalf of something bigger than themselves – and we owe them a debt of gratitude.
