Army Special Forces officer COL Ed Croot sat down for a Holistic Lock Conversation on the identity crisis in Special Forces. During the discussion, COL Croot goes in-depth about U.S. Special Forces’ evolving demands influenced by prevailing global circumstances. Special Forces face vastly different challenges in the current Great Power Competition than mission requirements when founded in 1952. Today’s environment impacts critical variables such as scope, scale, and an adversary’s speed. 

COL Croot’s 2020 Duke University dissertation on the topic identified fundamental disconnects between recruitment, training, and deployment for Special Forces.

Psychology), Army School of Advanced Military Studies (M.A. Theater Level Operations), and Kansas State University (M.S. Education). He joined the Army in 1995, earning his commission through ROTC.

Holistic Lock celebrated Major General (Ret.) Clay Hutmacher who serves as the President and CEO of SOWF.

HERNDON, Virginia, November 11, 2020 – On November 10, Holistic Lock hosted a hybrid virtual and in-person, socially distanced whiskey tasting to honor the President and CEO of the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF), Major General Clay Hutmacher, and the 40th anniversary of the philanthropic organization. The in-person event was held at Chef Warren’s Market and Bistro in Southern Pines, North Carolina.

SOWF ensures full post-secondary educational support to surviving children of special operations personnel and immediate financial assistance to severely wounded special operations personnel. SOWF provides students with tools for educational success, including preschool funding, academic counseling, private tutoring, college planning, coaching and mentoring, and college-to-career transition. 

During his two years at the organization’s helm, Major General Hutmacher has made a significant impact.

  • Extended the eligibility criteria to include children of all Medal of Honor recipients, living and deceased.
  • Expanded eligibility criteria for immediate financial assistance to include SOCOM personnel with Category III illnesses, in addition to those wounded in combat and injured in training.
  • Established a program to fund education programs for eligible special needs students. Established an Ambassador program to expand the SOWF family and network nationally.

Participants enjoyed comments from Major General Hutmacher’s friends and colleagues, including Major General Mark Clark, whiskey trivia, and conversation.

The whiskey tasting was led by Leatherwood Distillery. The distillery is owned by Andy Lang, a 24-year vet, Army Special Forces, and his Partner Masoud Rezai, a North Afghanistan native and interpreter for the U.S. Armed Forces. They met in Afghanistan in 2011. Virtual attendees sipped samplers sent directly to their home live on Zoom.

Holistic Lock is honored to support the SOWF mission.

HERNDON, Virginia, October 28, 2020 – Holistic Lock premiered part two of a four-part discussion between General Tony Thomas, the 11th Commander of US SOCOM, and Major General Clay Hutmacher, who served 40 years in uniform before becoming the President and Chief Executive of the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.

Throughout the series, the decorated duo discussed the U.S. strategy orientation often referred to as a “2+3” strategy – a strategy for countering two primary global powers – China and Russia – and three additional challenges – North Korea, Iran, and extremist groups. General Thomas describes the current positioning with these powers as “arguably the most strategically challenging moment in my lifetime, if not the history of our country.”

In part two, General Thomas explored Russia, a military and historic superpower. The discussion covered Russia’s rise to power, their partnership with China, and much more.

During the conversation, General Thomas made sure to point out that each Great Power in the strategy is interwoven with each other. For example, Russia’s current partnership with China. “[Russia and China] are melded together with one advisory, the United States,” said General Thomas. “Do I think this deal will last for long? No. In fact, I think China is using Russia as a springboard and will leave them in the dust as they continue to climb.”

Join Holistic Lock next week for Part 3 & 4 of the Great Power Competition: DPRK & Iran and Extremists groups.

This interview is a part of a larger webinar series, Holistic Lock Conversations: A SITREP to trending matters of language and intel affairs.

General Thomas describes the current positioning with these powers as “arguably the most strategically challenging moment in my lifetime, if not the history of our country.”

Part one kicked off with an in-depth look at China, the preeminent threat to the United States. General Thomas assessed China’s threat level, strategic goals, strengths and vulnerabilities, and much more.

When discussing China’s strategic aspirations, General Thomas said, “China becomes a rich, powerful, respected nation. They undo 100 years of shame. They return to prominence; and that they rectify what they call territorial challenges,” he explained. “[It’s] a very specific plan, it’s out there.”
