The 442nd Regimental Combat Team consisted of Japanese-Americans who were in concentration camps during this time. These men were then sent into war to help America. Enemy forces were located in Germany and Japan and in these lands were trapped U.S. combat teams in need. The 442nd Regimental Combat Team helped the United States win World War Two and proved their loyalty.

In World War Two (WWII) air combat was a commonly used war tactic. Many countries in WWII had an Air Force. The Air Forces usually consisted of bombers and fighters. The United States who entered the war after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor had a particularly large Air Force. The U.S. Air Force Had several groups but a major Air Force group was the Eighth Air Force. The Eighth Air Force’s role in WWII was essential to the defeat of Hitler’s Nazi rule by bombardment of strategic targets in Europe. Wich was done successfully after we dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan.

It is noted that over “70 percent of organizational change efforts fail” (Jansson, 2013). Nevertheless, change is an inevitable part of a learning organization. The 93d Signal Brigade is experiencing change. Senior Army leaders have determined that there is a need to transform from geographically based information technology services to consolidated enterprise services at regional locations. Employees know this as Network Enterprise Centers (NECs) regionalization. The driving force behind this initiative is the United States Army Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM). Employees within the 93d Signal Brigade, which is a subordinate unit to NETCOM, are voicing their concerns about the effort to regionalize network centers. The

Combat Leadership versus Garrison Leadership Leadership is the strength of our Army, led by the best Officers and Noncommissioned Officers (NCOs) today. There has been a great deal of trust, funding, and education invested in leaders to influence others in accomplishing the mission foreign and domestic.

In addition, it will briefly expound on Leadership Development, Challenges, and some Leader Competencies that all leaders need, to excel at mentoring our Soldiers. How we shape and mold our junior leaders in the garrison environment will determine how successful an organization maybe in a combat environment.

In 2012, Barack Obama declared, “Four years ago, I promised to end the war in Iraq. We did. I promised to refocus on the terrorists who actually attacked the U.S. on 9/11. We have. We’ve blunted the Taliban’s momentum in Afghanistan, and in 2014, our longest war will be over. A new tower rises above the New York skyline, al Qaeda is on the path to defeat, and Osama bin Laden is dead” (“Remarks”). Flashback to about twenty-two years ago when very few people had heard of the Taliban. In the early 1990’s, after the war between the Afghanistan people and the Soviet Union ended, Afghanistan was left in a state of economic destruction, with over one million people dead.

The Taliban rule in Afghanistan from 1996-2001 was detrimental overseas and at home.
