Welcome back to another airpower-packed episode of Lessons from the Cockpit! I\u2019m your host Lt. Col. Mark Hasara, retired KC-135 Weapons Officer and Joint Specialty Officer. For 60 years, I\u2019ve lived and breathed aviation. Today we are going to talk about a very tough aspect of planning for war! Here\u2019s the question I\u2019ve been getting all week: \u201cMark, how do you know when it\u2019s time to stop shooting?\u201d How does a war end? Who decides when the mission is complete? And what happens if we stop too late\u2014or too soon? This episode is all about the end game in combat\u2014how planners use tools like the Joint Publication 5-0 to define victory, identify military end states, and determine when it\u2019s time to terminate operations. It\u2019s not theory\u2014it\u2019s the real stuff we use to plan, fight, and win. And I\u2019ve been in the room when those decisions were made. From buried Iraqi fighter jets to the politics of military culmination, I\u2019ll walk you through what it takes to bring a war to a decisive stop\u2014without giving your enemy a second chance. \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f NEW SPONSOR ALERT \u2013 VALOROUS TV This week, I\u2019m proud to welcome Valorous TV to the Lessons from the Cockpit mission! \ud83c\udfa5 Valorous TV is the Home of Heroes\u2014a FREE streaming platform dedicated to the men and women of the military, law enforcement, first responders, and beyond. \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 This Independence Day Week, do yourself a favor: \u25b6\ufe0f Visit @valoroustv and explore shows and documentaries that bring history to life\u2014from the Battle of Shiloh to the skies over the Battle of Britain.
