In this episode of Your Next Mission®, SMA Jack L. Tilley sits down with LTG Chris Mohan and CSM Jacinto Garza, the leadership team of United States Army Materiel Command (AMC), to answer the question many ask but few fully understand:

Who actually keeps the Army ready?

AMC is the backbone behind the force.

They sustain global operations.

They modernize equipment.

They rebuild the Organic Industrial Base.

They power readiness through advanced manufacturing and data-driven sustainment.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• How does the Army maintain readiness between wars?

• Who ensures equipment is modernized and fielded on time?

• What role does innovation and data play in future warfighting?

• Where does institutional leadership shape the future fight?

This episode provides the answers.

For Transitioning Servicemembers and Veterans, this conversation also reveals how enterprise-level leadership, logistics, manufacturing, and sustainment translate directly into civilian industry, federal service, and defense-sector careers.

This is not just a discussion about logistics.

It’s a conversation about national readiness.

If you care about the future of the force, modernization, and leadership at scale — this episode is for you.

In this episode of Your Next Mission® video podcast, SMA Tilley welcomes Steven Grayhm, writer, director, and star of the new movie, “Sheepdog,” along with his co-star, Matt Dallas. The film follows a Veteran’s emotional journey as he confronts the effects of trauma while transitioning back into civilian life.

Together, they explore how real Veteran stories shaped the film—and why listening without judgment matters. They also share the demanding path behind the project: years spent listening, earning trust, carrying the responsibility of representing lived experience, and choosing authenticity over convenience to ensure these stories were told with honesty, respect, and care.

Health is the foundation of every successful transition after military service. In this episode of Your Next Mission® video podcast, SMA Tilley sits down with John “JJ” Pinter, Deputy Director of Team Red, White & Blue and U.S. Army Veteran, to discuss why health, consistency, and community are critical long after the uniform comes off.

Many of the negative outcomes we see in the Veteran space don’t appear overnight. They often stem from a transition that lacked structure, connection, and a focus on physical and mental wellness. In this conversation, we explore how prioritizing daily movement, sustainable habits, and human connection directly impacts long-term performance, clarity, and overall well-being.
