Brigadier General Ross Coffman, Deputy Commanding General of the 1st Infantry Division, joins The Military Leader Podcast to discuss the state of Army leaders after 16 years of war, how the National Training Center stretches brigade combat teams toward readiness, and why the best way to take care of Soldiers is to train them for combat.

As commander of 1st Brigade, 1st Armored Division, BG Coffman launched the Ready First Podcast to flatten the leader development across the brigade and give the leaders an entirely new medium through which to engage and grow. Then in 2016, he served as Commander of the Operations Group at the National Training Center, overseeing the premier training experience for brigade combat teams across the Army.
