Candidate Lamb's Fraud Case

Not long after the 2008 Presidential election, a documentary came to light that shed an insight on how much fraud that was committed in the 2008 election by the Democratic Party, allegations that never made into the main stage of mainstream media reporting, basically, largely ignored.

Candidate Allwood was able to provide all of the information required for the operation order brief. SNC included most of the information he was given; however, SNC briefed that the ammo needed to be delivered to the bridge and not to the designated LZ. SNC was able to control the movement of his squad as they began the execution; however, SNC lead his squad through dense brush causing the forward movement to be slow. SNC was able to make the required adjustments to put his squad back on track as they retrieved the ammunition. SNC made the decision to cross the bridge with the first fire team, putting him in the best position to control his squad. During the engagement, SNC was only able to provide minimal information for an ADDRAC. SNC

Candidate Caughran delivered his 5 paragraph order phenomenally. SNC ensured to cover all information as it was relayed to him, as well as add information regarding the terrain and climate conditions. SNC displayed the utmost confidence, through the inflection in his voice as well as the assertiveness used when assigning tasks to the fire team. During the execution, SNC positioned himself properly so that he was able to direct the team. He encountered minor error when the team reached the friction point. His position was no longer effective and he was forced to become more hands on with the mission. Once hands on SNC was able to help his team progress forward, and prevent any casualties. SNC posted security before and during the execution,

Overall, Candidate Friederick's lack of confidence hindered both her operations order and her execution of her assigned mission. Her delivery lacked enthusiasm and interest. While her lack of confidence indicated unfamiliarity with the five paragraph order, SNC did brief a detailed mission statement with a task and purpose. SNC also briefed some details of her scheme of maneuver and some tasks to her subordinates, but the lack of detail and her confidence ultimately failed to inspire the other candidates in her fire team. As her fire team moved from order to execution, SNC appeared lethargic with little to no awareness of her surroundings as the team approached the objective. SNC both heard and saw the enemy combatant and demonstrated

Candidate Dowd began his evolution with a disjointed order. Though SNC briefed the Orientation and Situation paragraphs well, he bounced around the remainder of the order throughout the rest of his brief in the order of Mission paragraph, Coordinating Instructions, Command and Signal, Administration and Logistics, billet assignments, and Scheme of Maneuver. During the billet assignments, Candidate Dowd could not decide which fire team member would have which billet, changing his mind several times during assignments. SNC also said "uh" and other filler words during his brief, which did not instill confidence in his team. SNC did not brief succession of command, but he did brief a running password. During execution, Candidate Dowd maintained

Candidate Otoole confidently briefed her five paragraph order to her fire team, but failed to brief the “why” portion of her mission statement. She identified the urgency of time, and decided to utilize the column formation to move quickly to the objective. SNC then briefed upon contact, the fire team would move into a skirmisher to appropriately attack through the enemy. Through the movement to the objective, Candidate Otoole controlled her fire team by maintaining eye contact with each member and consistently passing the formation of the fire team. Candidate Otool attacked through the objective and conducted an incomplete inspection of the cache site; she did not thoroughly look through the ammo can. SNC had a clear understanding of

Candidate Barrowcliff's tactical mindset and seriousness about the problem was evident when he posted security before he started his order. SNC's order was relayed with a great level of confidence. SNC covered all the details while having a complete understanding of the mission. At the end of his brief, he pointed to a candidate and asked him to restate the mission to check for understanding, ensuring there wouldn't be any confusion. Candidate Barrowcliff formulated an initial plan and completely briefed his fire team. SNC displayed a sense of urgency and desire to move toward mission accomplishment. SNC's adjustments to his plans were decisive and effective. Candidate Barrowcliff was clearly in charge and demonstrated calm demeanor in a

Candidate Lewton presented his brief confidently and with command presence. He showed a good understanding of the order and conveyed that in his brief hitting all the key points of the five-paragraph order. SNC failed to post security upon execution of the mission and did not realize this mistake. SNC’s initial plan was successful in getting one team member onto the wall with the first attempt. SNC was calm, confident and fully engaged throughout the mission. They were able to make it onto the second wall on their first attempt as well. Candidate Lewton used his subordinates giving orders from the rear and using his team as his eyes to survey the area for him. SNC’s fire team was able to make it to the ammo can but due to the time expiring,

Candidate Pacheco’s brief was delivered confidently, with a slight exception during the Situation paragraph. During this paragraph, SNC took long pauses, and stumbled over his thoughts on the enemy situation. However, upon completion of the situation, he regained composure and bearing and completed the follow on paragraphs well providing elements necessary to execute the operation. As they stepped off on the operation, his speed was consistent with the situation and his non-verbal communication methods kept the team moving forward. Half way to the objective SNC’s control over the team was lost as the terrain began to dictate their movements. Once SNC realized this, he issued follow on signals to push out but immediately took contact. The

SNC did not initially ensure 360 degree security at the assembly area. SNC’s enemy situation lacked significant details. SNC’s friendly situation was not briefed in the proper format. SNC’s scheme of maneuver was not complete enough to be executed and his tasking statements did not have an associated purpose. At the beginning of execution SNC attempted to give a command to his fire team leaders to get ready to begin their movement; when nobody in his squad responded he announced that fire team leaders had 30 seconds to get ready to move. SNC was an ineffective communicator; he attempted hand and arm signals after receiving indirect fire and would give vague tasks to unspecified individuals instead of his fire team leaders. Upon enemy contact

Candidate Hamm briefed his order with confidence and displayed an understanding of the OSMEAC orders process and its organization. He briefed a thorough enemy situation by applying DRAWD analysis. His coordinating instructions also included extra information including order of march, base unit, and consolidation instructions. However, SNC did not brief a scheme of maneuver in the order, forcing him to develop a plan after his brief had concluded. His succession of command was a repeat of the order of march instead of who would assume his billet. SNC was confident in his brief and it was apparent throughout execution that he was in control of the team. Even after friction caused the team to falter, SNC was quick to re-focus the team and maintain

Candidate Rabideau while briefing his order stumbled a few instances but was able to regain composure after moments of difficulty. However, he did brief most portions necessary to execute the mission and his plan reflected coherent thoughts. Prior to the execution phase, SNC posted security. SNC oriented security in the correct direction, assigned sectors of fire, and ensured he was not stagnant. SNC did not look at the obstacle prior to his initial plan. As a result, over two minutes passed after the brief; the fire team stood around, did not progress towards mission accomplishment, and waited for orders. Nonetheless, once the fire team focused on their mission, Candidate Rabideau constantly ordered them to remain focused and reminded

Candidate Thompson’s order was initially out of order despite addressing the elements successfully. SNC caught himself half way through the order and began to realign his brief by covering details in his plan. SNC seemed unsure of his plan at first and staggered during the initial tasking statements, but once the plan developed his confidence increased throughout execution. Candidate needs to ensure that the team trusts his plan so they will follow his lead. SNC lead his team through his own execution, but at times the team was without direction, which stalled the flow of the operation. SNC addressed security, but directed candidates to hand off weapons to the security element which made them temporarily combat ineffective while they attempted

Candidate Peduto displayed clarity when briefing his complete five paragraph order, however he lacked confidence and often seemed unsure of the details in which he was briefing. Candidate Peduto did not lead by example, and was the last member of his Fire Team onto the platform. His position in the fire team did not allow him to fully understand if his solution was feasible. He asked his Fire Team member “tell me if this board is long enough.” If Candidate Peduto was leading from the front and better positioned he would be able to make decision and assess the problem. It took over five minutes for Candidate Peduto to get all members of his Fire team involved in solving the problem, wasting time and not moving toward mission

Candidate Floyd exhibited a basic understanding of the five paragraph order format and briefed most relevant information; however, SNC fumbled with his notes multiple times, briefed the mission out of order within the Execution paragraph, and issued tasking statements that were vague and lacking detail. During the execution, SNC maintained awareness of his team member’s movements and location and controlled the fire team formations with verbal and non-verbal communication skills. When SNC began receiving enemy fire, it took him a moment to recognize and orient to the threat. Once he identified the threat, SNC exhibited good communication skills by issuing a strong confident ADDRAC and relevant orders while rushing the objective. When his team
