Episode 1: Effects of War on Our Environment
Modern warfare has brought about a bunch of highly negative consequences for humans, animals, and our natural habitat. We are still addressing the negative impacts of modern warfare on our environment eighty years after World War II ended and will likely be dealing with the consequences for years to come.
In this short episode, I dive into a few negative consequences modern warfare has had on our environment and what nation states are doing to combat some of the damage from years past.
Jack Ryan
Jack started his career as an Army Infantry Officer, serving in a Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT) out Ft. Bliss, Texas, and forward deployed to Maiwand, Afghanistan, in a Combat Outpost (COP) in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). Jack continued his Army career in the U.S. Army Reserves, serving in two consecutive company command billets. Jack's civilian career has spanned the aviation, aerospace, UAS, and defense markets, strongly focusing on developing emerging technologies to support the DoD, NATO, and commercial customers. Jack is a licensed, instrument-rated private pilot and commercial UAS pilot.
Jack enjoys partnering with the Department of Defense and seeking out innovative technologies that can support the survivability and lethality of our warfighters who are currently deployed in support of our Nation's Defense Strategy, bringing meaningful capabilities to our men and women on the front lines.
He is also passionate about supporting the Veteran community through work with non-profits like Helmets to Hardhats, Healing4Heroes, and the Force Recon Association.
"I got into making videos last January (a year ago) both as a creative outlet and to learn how to produce my own multimedia. It's been really fun and has benefited my professional career as a byproduct."
