Command Climate Survey Report

Mark Smith’s, The Road to Winter (2016), charts the narrative of Australian teenager, Finn, who has survived a virus that has wiped out the majority of his town. Finn is forced to survive, protecting himself from the violent gangs in the North on his own, following the death of his parents. With survival being the main theme of the novel, the characters in The Road to Winter exhibit their exceptional and awful capabilities when their survival is threatened. Despite characters living in seclusion, they will go to any means to protect their own survival. Furthermore, when Finn, Rose or Kas’ lives are threatened, alternate characters will rise to their assistance, completing formidable acts of bravery to save them. Finally, Ramage displays his awful capabilities, threatening others survival, if his own leadership is jeopardised.

The critical leadership problem affecting the ABCT climate derives from toxic leadership of the BCT command team. Careful assessment and thorough

Global climate change is more than just raising the concentration of GHG’s in the atmosphere, it’s a serious health threat. Dr. Howard Koh, of the Harvard T.H Chan School of Public Health, has stated that global warming is a threat to human health because of an increase in respiratory and allergy aggravation,

The purpose of this paper is to acquaint the readers with an ethical issue with NCOERs that I came across while serving as a First Sergeant. I was appalled to learn that leaders and raters are writing inaccurate and irrelevant NCOERs and making them less effective, because NCOs are not applying themselves. NCOs expect to be evaluated fairly, objectively, and want to be receiving an NCOER that will allow them to excel for further promotion and assignments. An NCO wants to have the faith that their rater is competent enough to give them a proper rating, good or bad, on their

This is our job as NCO’s to keep the culture and climate of our profession at its peak. We cannot be the ones that “talk the talk” but not “walk the walk” bring that culture down. It is one of our areas of expertise to take care and nurture young soldiers. They are the future of the profession, the future experts that will keep the profession strong and thriving. We as NCO’s must do our best to shield our young soldiers from “toxic” leadership, to show what good leadership is, and mold young soldiers into the professionals of

The Corps of the Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) has been around since the formation of the Continental Army in 1775. The basic responsibility of the NCO was to fill gaps in the lines and keep soldiers quiet on mission while leading (Perkioniemi, 2009). Currently, the responsibilities of the NCO focus on soldier welfare and accomplishing the mission (NCO Creed). Toxic leadership is a serious concern for the military, and it is undermining the reputation of the NCO Corps. What is toxic leadership, how can it be addressed, and what will happen to the Corps if it is allowed to continue?

CDRs, SGM/CSMs, and the warrant officers at those perspective unit levels. I believe that a command team constructed of only the SGM/CSM and the BN/Co CDR leaves too much opportunity for a polarized, if not divided, command dynamic. Simply by having the third personality, in this case the warrant officer, as the bridge between these players is not only a good idea, it is necessary to ensure collaborative effort and a positive command climate. Further, with the greater experience level that warrant officers bring to any unit, and the fact that they are a non-threat to both SGM/CSMs and CDRs as far as competition for

Soldiers feel unit leaders would make bad decisions in combat due to the micromanagement in the company and the Commander does not listen to recommendation from unit leaders.

The Marine Corps since transitioning to TAMIS for requisitioning and Class V(W) allowance management has been accustom to forecasting. Forecasting is a function within TAMIS that allows supported units to project materiel needs at a specific location and during a specific window of time. Prior to the days of TAMIS the MEFs would project ammunition needs via an annual Marine Ammunition Requirements Support Order (MARSO). Supporting activities were left to wonder and guess when a particular item might be needed. This logistics pull model was very costly as it drove up transportations costs and made expedited shipping from Depot to Supporting Activities the norm rather than exception. Today Marines are familiar with the forecasting functionality

GIS applications such as remote sensing have been gaining a lot of popularity over the past few decades and uses for remote sensing are still being explored. Remote sensing can be used to analyze weather patterns or climate change in regions. Weather patterns have been analyzed for a long time by meteorologists and using remote sensing for analyzing weather patterns is becoming more popular. Climate change is a big topic in today society and has been gaining a lot of attention of the past few years. If climate change continues to be an impending issue there should be a spike in the amount of data collected from remote sensing to analyze climate change and its consequences. Many new techniques have been developed with remote sensing in order analyze weather and climate patterns throughout the world.

It's been interesting to see the warm weather. In the first week of November, it's nice to see people being happy with the warm weather. It’s still strange to see the warm spell in a month that’s supposed to be very cold. In Washington D.C, the city is running 5.4 degrees cooler than normal. Since 1872, Washington D.C has recordings of warm temperatures for November and though 70 degree weather is less common during the days passing, it averaged 3.6 of them over the month. This ends a 30 year span. According to the Washington Post, there are changes in the recorded history of warm temperatures in the month. The highest record high was November 6 in 1948. Record warm low was 65 degrees in 1938. Record highs are more threatening than the record lows.

Microclimate is the climate of a small area within a larger area, my garden. I was given the task of investigating the microclimate of my garden and recording what I found. The warmest place was site 3 with a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius In site 3 there is a low albedo so heat is absorbed therefore the temperature is higher here on a warm day the aspect of this site is south west so this results in this part of the garden being warmer, because places facing the sun are warmer than those in the shadows, in Britain the sun rises in the east and moves through the south, so at midday the sun would be directly facing south making my garden hotter. We use this to an advantage by setting seats up in the

Adding to that, 74% of the scientists agree that there is substantial amount of evidence which support this occurrence (Leiserowitz, 2015). Evidence from the institute of Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) suggest ‘’Climate in the Antarctic Peninsula has warmed by 3°C meaning that once stable ice shelves are now retreating’’ (British Antarctic Survey, 2015). This evidence implies that global temperature in cold regions has risen in which it has caused floating sheets to disappear (National Snow and Ice Data Center, 2017). Additionally, government negotiators expect there will be a 4 degrees’ centigrade average global temperature change (Larkin, 2015). This suggest that temperature difference is rising rapidly and the government

What if humans could find a way to combat climate change? This is where climate engineering would come into play. Climate engineering, also known as weather modification or geoengineering, is “the intentional alteration of Earth’s climate aiming to counter climate change” (Wikipedia par. 1). Some of the proposals for climate engineering include shooting dust into the stratosphere, putting iron dust in the oceans, and even placing mirrors in space to reflect sunlight. One example of weather modification was implemented during the Second World War, where airports in the United Kingdom would use flamethrowers installed on runways to get rid of acid fog. This solution was successful, however each airport used approximately 0.5 million liters of fuel per hour. In the end, the disadvantages of climate engineering outweigh the benefits by not solving all of the Earth’s climate problems, cooling only certain areas of the planet, and drastically changing the weather patterns on Earth.
