Case Study Camp Santiago Maneuver Training Center

Training objectives must support the mission profile and meet the commanders desired end state. Prior to the 56TH train up at the National Training Center (NTC) the deployment location changed from Iraq to Afghanistan (case study). Changes to mission essential tasks were not identified prior to NTC, resulting in the BCT training on collective tasks and validated during MRE based on the Iraq mission profile. However, the shift to the Afghanistan mission profile created gaps in training not identified until units arrived at Bagram Air Field (BAF). i.e. the BCT had to establish an MRAP drivers training program at BAF extending the RSOI process. Training gaps were not limited to company level shortfalls as battalion and brigade staffs were not able to anticipate potential threats and capitalize on opportunities. (case study 2)

Go back in time, prior to hitting those yellow footprints, whether it be in San Diego or Perris Island. You are sitting on your couch and the United States Marine Corps TV commercial, America`s Few comes on. In this commercial, as Marines run towards ‘the calling’ you hear in the background rifle cracking as the silent drill team handles rifles with bayonets with extreme precision. The cracking rifle sound serves as a “call,” ‘spiritually speaking. We might think of it, and the honorable President Obama has made this very timely, as the “call to service” or the “call less heeded” instead of “the road less traveled’. ‘You can’t just answer the call, you must also prove worthy of the title before you take your place in the line of America’s Marines–the purpose for which our protagonists began the journey and, importantly, issue the call to others down the generations.’’ Throughout a Marines career, drill and ceremonies are a constant because ‘‘the object of close order drill is to teach Marines by exercise to obey orders and to do so immediately in the correct way. Close order drill is one foundation of discipline and esprit de

The concept of maneuver warfare has very little to do with where the fight happens or how forces arrive to that fight, but how we attack the enemy system and establish a tempo that drives the enemy into a “deteriorating situation with which the enemy cannot cope” (MCDP 1, page 73). The key to creating the conditions for that deteriorating situation is to orient on the enemy understanding the enemy’s strength, weakness, and disposition by orienting ourselves to the enemy and “turning the map around” to exploit that established enemy system. Whether the enemy is on a fortified high ground or is a littoral nation, our goal is the same take the enemy system and destroy it. MCDP 1 gives several examples of what orienting on the enemy means to the various warfighters; a pilot examining the integrated air defenses that must be penetrated or the rifle

Once the analysis of the current APFT exercises have been completed the research will move on to the combat oriented tasks described in the TRADOC PT Manual. This leads us into stage two of the research. The tasks describe within the manual can be found within chapter 13 of the manual. The TRADOC manual is also Army wide guidance concerning what types of tasks Soldiers must be able to perform in combat situations. The actions prescribed in the manual will be evaluated on the same criteria as the current APFT format. The tasks specifically include: marching, running, lifting from ground and overhead, lunching pushing and rotations. These actions will again be broken down into the different body actions used in each movement and associated with the type of muscle contractions used. The TRADOC Tasks will be categorized and their characteristics identified on the following graph.

Dr. Williamson Murray once declared a want to develop his Expeditionary Warfare School (EWS) seminar students into hand grenades. His comments were, of course, figurative, but Murray communicated a vision: his company grade students would read more deeply, think more critically, write with greater effect, and ultimately be more willing to challenge conventional wisdom than their peers. Murray, with EWS, engineered the course, from initial selection through the final seminars, to meet his goal of a competent, well-armed officer prepared to make and recommend just decisions grounded in history.

The event began with participants meeting behind Classroom Building II, which houses UCF's Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Drill sergeants

Effectively coordinated and managed the team’s schedule and execution of an additional 38 remotely supported events outside of the seven projected on-site engagements. I developed and implemented an ESA Content Build program, a systematical process to retrieve and harvest post-exercise material from units for posting on G27 portal. This program resulted in a 118% increased of posted exercises accessible on ESA portals and provided adapted exercise material that reduces unit’s exercise planning and designing phases which conserved time and resources. Provided a Senior Leader Overview to First Army’s 120th Infantry Bde commander, subordinate battalion commanders and staffs that established G27’s Tool Suite (ESA, EDT, VOA, ION) as their primary method for exercise planning and designing used for deploying USAR/ARNG validation exercises (VALEX). Routinely dialogue and provide remote support to 120th Infantry Bde staff, one of only two staffed sites that provides VALEX for USAR/NG units prior to their imminent deployment, to harvest exercise material and data to reuse for future deployments. Regularly conducted formal briefings, presentations, executive

Faced with an unfamiliar problem, Coach P, of the West Point Crew team, had a JV boat that was consistently outperforming the Varsity team on different measures. Upon preliminary analysis, it appears that the problem is simple: the selection of the varsity team was flawed and many of the athletes were misjudged and subsequently misplaced. However, the coach analyzed this possible flaw through seat races and even decided to demote varsity rowers to the JV team and JV rowers to the varsity team; the unlikely outcome was that the JV boat would win by even more, meaning that the demoted rower actually made the JV boat faster. This unlikely outcome revealed a deeper flaw within the Varsity team’s attitudes and motivations that sharply contrasted with those of the Junior Varsity team.

The United States Marine Corps plays a vital role in most wars and uses their strategies to ensure victory. Mox said, “Oh, wow! That this is real; it’s not a game. And we’re gonna have to watch out back sides and take care of everybody. After you’d been there awhile, there was many times. At least there was a sense that it was the enemy. If one of your own guys got hit – and that was the sad part about it. I liked the way the Marine Corps did the training, because it was more of a close knit team. But when somebody got hurt or killed, you knew them. ” (Mox). Mox joined the Marines because of his cousin, who won the Congressional Medal of Honor. He wanted to have the same experiences, that had been talked highly about to him for years. While

It is the primary mission of the United States Military Training Mission to provide training, assistance and advice to the military forces of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The entire point of this cooperation is to be able to jointly protect and uphold the interests of the United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the Middle East.

The level of training required to become a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division was agonizing. The men were taken on night marches, the first one being eleven miles with full field equipment on. While on these marches, the men were not allowed to have a break, cigarettes or water. As for their level of fitness, it was intense. Their fitness was brutal. The men were required to run Mount Currahee 3 miles up and back down and ran at least three to four times a week unless Lt. Sobel instructed otherwise. After getting adjusted to running, the men could run six miles or more in fifty minutes. They were required to go through an obstacle course daily along with other exercises like: push-ups, pull-ups, and deep-knee bends. However, when it
