In this episode, Jason and Tom explore how Jason was given the opportunity back in April of
2019 to lead a team or squadron of 80 people into a combat situation in the Middle East.
The original assignment was to take over the squadron and be ready for deployment. The
timeframe to prepare was about 12 months; however, conditions changed rather quickly
after taking command of the squadron and their timeline to get prepared for deployment
changed from 12 months to six weeks. The squadron did deploy successfully but the team
development work over that six week period wasn’t without its challenges, mistakes and
emotional tension.
If you’re interested in learning how Jason and his team pulled together their squadron to be
combat ready under extreme time constraints, then you do not want to miss this episode.
