Applying The Ends-Ways-Risk Framework

The use of Irregular Warfare has been ongoing for years around the world. Irregular warfare is described as a violent struggle among state and non-state actors for legitimacy and influence over the relevant populations. I will discuss where the U.S. may apply military force in conjunction with other means of national power to stabilize the nation of Somalia. I will also discuss why it would be considered as an Irregular Warfare environment.

Between the time initial MRAP tests were conducted and the initial approval in 2006, the military was transitioning away from the original Requirements Generation System (RGS) to the current JCIDS. Requirements from the field through each service branch drove the RGS process resulting in standalone solutions to specific threats often not considering non-material alternatives. “JCIDS provides systematic, integrated and interoperable material and non-material solutions to capability needs.” JCIDS determines requirements from the top and develops joint solutions with long term sustainment plans. The JROC is the final approving authority within JCIDS before passing the requirement to the acquisition process. During this transition the JROC membership remained unchanged but they did change from last to first approving authority in the major defense acquisition program process. This

Al-Shabaab is a terrorist group in Somalia that aims to create a “fundamentalist Islamic state”.

Hi Frederick, great job on setting all nonfunctional requirements with a unit of measurement. Nonfunctional requirements need to translate as clear as possible the user stories in measurable terms so that the developers are able to understand the supposed project to be delivered, creating this objectivity save time and effort and possible nonfunctional requirements misrepresentation.

In an attempt to gain local perspective of the most recent terror attacks in Western Africa, reporter Carley Petesch of the Associated Press has been stationed in the region as their lead West-African correspondent. In the article she discusses how the beach massacre in Ivory Coast and the attack on a Mali hotel have forced the United Nations and European Union to dispatch troops to the area, with the hopes of improving local security measures. She speaks with locals and an area security consultant to discuss how the terrorist group known as Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) continue to terrorize the region, and local governments are in need of international assistance to prevent future attacks.

Safety checks should be carried out to eliminate the risk of putting the safety of people attending a sporting event at risk.

The military should focus on prioritizing the Joint Force requirements our Nation needs the most to survive the current fiscal constraints.9 The military still needs to be able to address security threats and current demands.10 By prioritizing what is more important or needs to be done sooner helps decide what to focus on and use resources for.

Through prioritization, focus is placed on what is important to be able to succeed in the mission.

An innocent child is standing in a candy store and looking at all his favorite options from which to choose. He slowly reaches for the bag of M&Ms, and he does not know what all the chemicals in that bag will cause him. The M&Ms have ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) causing carcinogens in them called food dyes. These food additives help the food products stay vibrant and eye catching but America’s youth does not know what the consequences are when you eat these products. Children think they are nice and colorful but they do not know what lies behind the wonderful rainbow of colored M&Ms in that bag. That is why The United States needs to ban food color additives to make our nation healthier. The main points on food dyes are the problems they cause, the counter argument against them and the steps the country can take to solve these problems.

The Al-Shabaab is regarded as one of the most dangerous African terrorist organizations. Al-Shabaab is a multiethnic militant group out of Somalia that uses many terrorist tactics in attempts to gain control over the country of Somalia.

The Al-Shabaab is suspected to have taken part in many terrorist attacks, including the 1998 United States embassies bombings. The motive behind their violence is their goal of creating an Islamic state in Somalia, which they believe is morally justified by the ideological beliefs. An important psychological

When considering a problem or dilemma in any circumstance it is ideal that one must look at two or more sides depending on how many there are, in order to come out with an accurate and educated view of the problem itself. If this happens all the time, in every situation where a problem arises, where everyone looks to find a solution to the problem by researching and viewing the problem itself from multiple points of view, all of the society itself will be more educated and aware of important matters, and will more easily distinguish between right and wrong positions on certain matters. In the real world, many people will believe the side with the most coverage or the most information, and they do not care enough to do their own research or

2. Somalia has a fractured political past. There has been little stability in the country since it gained independence from Great Britain in 1960.1 However, in 2011, an internationally backed organization took over Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu. Now called the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS), they ratified a constitution and held the nation’s first ever presidential election in 2012.1 This new government has made strides in stabilizing Mogadishu, but much of the nation is still divided. Two major regions, Somaliland and Puntland, have their own independent governments and consider themselves self-autonomous.1 Also, the FGS isn’t flawless. A second

The “Little Boy” directly killed 80,000 civilians in Hiroshima, Japan in August 6, 1945. You must be shocked, surprised and terrified to know that the “Little Boy” killed so many civilians in Hiroshima, Japan. The weight of the “Little Boy” was 4400kilogram. Amazing, the little boy was very big and heavy. This was neither a fairy tale nor an illusion. This was a true story and the deaths were real and were horrifying.
