Assignment 3: PMSEII Or METT-T.

Method: By reading MCWP 6-11 Leading Marines, answer and write an analysis on the objectives given per instruction.

Operational leaders down to the platoon and squad level have recently faced increasingly complex missions in uncertain operational environments. Accordingly, Army doctrine has shifted to officially recognize mission command, which enables leaders at the lowest level feasible to “exercise disciplined initiative” in the accomplishment of a larger mission. The operational process consists of six tenants: understand, visualize, describe, direct, lead, and assess. During the battle of Fallujah, LtGen Natonski understood the intent two levels up, visualizing courses of action for both allies and the enemy, and leading his organization into combat while directing his officers and soldiers to meet his intent. He visualized that Marines alone could not accomplish the mission. He understood that without the support of Iraqi police and a task force from the Army with

During our military careers we are faced with many different situations and problems. We will need to present solutions to these situations and problems. The Army has four types of military briefings for us to choose from to effectively communicate our solutions. These four military briefings are decision briefings, information briefings, mission briefings and staff briefings. Each situation will have a factor in determining which type of military briefing is needed. To know which military briefing is to be used, we must understand the purpose of each briefing. This paper will give a narrative on each of the four military briefs and the steps involved for the presentation of each brief. I will begin with decision briefings. Before I can begin with decision briefings, I must give a brief discussion on the Army’s problem solving process.

Even though the DND’s Environment Department seems to be working hard, Canada’s environment is still being affected by war even though there has not been one here in the 20th century. In 2003, Canada’s military was called in to protect the environment because the Environment Department failed to follow federal environmental laws to protect habitats. The department simply does not have the personnel or resources to complete all the environment concerns across Canada (Bow, 2004).

When it comes to succeeding at anything, it is important to plan, prepare, and rehears the outcome. In a combat zone, this becomes even more important because lives and the success of the mission depend on it. This was not the case however, during a fight called Operation Anaconda. The purpose of this paper is to point out what went wrong with the lack of planning, coordination, rehearsal, and preparation between Air and ground communications, and how it proved to be critical during Operation Anaconda. The ending results were a delayed execution and several friendly casualties.

Conventional warfare follows the single battle concept, where two or more well defined forces using weapons that target the opposing force. The contiguous battle-space is well defined with a deep, close and rear area allowing the force commander to array forces that can be visually displayed in a linear graphic. This does not hold true in an unconventional warfare, where the rear area may also be the close and deep fight and forces may target the civilian population either through direct, indirect or propaganda attacks. The will of the people play an important part in unconventional warfare and their support to either force is equally important. The Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF), the Marine Corps force in readiness is capable

Both identify imminent commercial and agricultural threats due to flooding as well as an impact on the airports, railways, and highways as part of the Supply Chain Integrity Capability. As part of the Infrastructure Systems Core Capabilities, impacts for flooding include electrical outages for an estimated 72 hours as well as concerns for potable water and sewage services.

Served as the Command Combat System Senior Enlisted and Combat Systems Training Team (CSTT) through (2) FRTP cycles which included scenario development, training and execution supporting the operational commander mission and objectives for FST-U, FST-GC, and FST-J. Specifically, oversaw operator configuration, scenario setup,

Fatigue is a growing concern and issue in the aviation industry. Although it has been for some time, recently mounting workloads and stress have factored into creating an escalating problem with real casualties and repercussions. “Pilot fatigue, heavy workloads… may have contributed to an air ambulance crashing into the sea at night during a medical mission…” (Crash Blamed 2006 p.31). Fatigue is an “insidious” condition that affects a pilot in a way that might make him feel justified in his decisions. (Wald 2008 C3). Without realizing the effects of sleepiness and stress, pilots often times make the wrong decision, believing it to be the right one, and suffering severe consequences, such as: passenger injures, crew injuries or even

MALCOLM McKINNON states 3 limitations of Easterling The power of infrastructure First, even putting to one side subversive approaches like that of Women on Water, none of the three infrastructure spaces lack positive facets, yet the analysis does not have

My main topics will center around three situations in the book. The first topic will center on Ruth Jyoti as she speaks to Joseph Rivers about U.S. foreign policy in Setkya. The second topic will center on Ambassador Macwhites’ discussion with the Honorable Li Pang. The third topic will center on the Martin family when U Maung Swe spoke about improving the prestige of America in Southeast Asia. I will use my experiences of my times in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Qatar as examples. Although every instance of this book can derive from understanding or not understanding the operational environment, my points will explore how my team and I applied them in modern operations.

If the collateral is a consumer good, the creditor does not need to file a UCC-1 nor take possession of any goods to become a perfect security interest. In a purchase-money security interest (PMSI) of consumer goods, the interest is perfected as soon as it is attached; this is also known as automatic perfection. A PMSI is the most important type of security interest that is perfected and is immediately effective upon attachment. A PMSI would generally involve buying an item on credit from a seller and the seller would be the secured party. Another PMSI circumstance is a debtor using the loan he had taken from a bank to buy an item from a seller, in this situation; the bank will be the secured party. Anyone of the two circumstances in buying

When we discuss the operational environment, all factors tie in to each other in some way. The physical environment and infrastructure, while intertwined, can sometimes leave items off the table when planning for the operational environment. As we see in our Lesson 2, Framing the Operational Environment1, culture is listed in every critical variable. Items of cultural interest can include tribal boundaries, religious burial grounds, and historically significant areas. These may not fall into the infrastructure category, but must be respected and taken into account when planning. Planners must take care to map out these culturally sensitive places to avoid potential conflict. The physical environment includes terrain analysis in order to avoid danger areas that could impede ingress and egress, choke points and defilades, climate and weather to name a few.

Nearly every community has some sort of community risk, threat, and assessment plan that takes into account one of the six potential risks that are of concern to homeland security. Though each of these plans will likely differ from one another, many communities will have the same types of information in their plans. This essay will look at the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Guide (THIRA), the Community Risk Reduction Planning Guide, as well as FEMA’s National Preparedness plan. Any combination of these guides are a good starting point for every community in America. At top of every communities list as well as the nation is the protection of the critical infrastructure. Loss of infrastructure regardless of how big or small the community is could have very crippling effects on that community.

Eyes scanning from left to right, dials and switches turning on and off, pilots verbally communicating back and forth; all occurring thousands of feet up in the air. The ability to divert one 's attention across the user interface of the cockpit, while simultaneously flying the airplane, in continuous observation of stimuli outside of the plane, and verbally communicating with the flight staff, was an eye-opening experience. I was transfixed in how two pilots and one flight engineer were absorbed in the numerous tasks affiliated with flying, as I stood watch as a passenger in the cockpit of C-130. My initial thought was, how stressful of an environment to perform so many tasks, at such a quick pace. Intrigued by this question, I narrowed down my interests in psychology to the investigation of how stress, motivation, and task variation can effect attention and performance under threatening environments. Furthermore, how those constructs effect occupational safety and dictate human performance within a work environment. More specifically, I am interested in exploring the question of what countermeasures can be used to improve how we attend to important information under stress-induced work environments. Every individual is not equipped with the right skills to endure graduate school, but with my strong determination to push for more, the curiosity for research that tremors off my bones, and the substantial amount of research experience that I have acquired
