Geographic Combatant Commander (GCC) are the vital link between those who determine national security policy and strategy and the military forces or subordinate JFCs that conduct military operations within their AORs [JP-1]. GCCs takes on a lot of responsibility they are normally responsible for a large geographical area; not mention the effective coordination of operations within that area falls on the shoulder of the GCC. Directives flow from the President and SecDef through CJCS to the GCCs, who plan and conduct the operations that achieve national or multinational strategic objectives. GCCs provide guidance and direction through strategic estimates, command strategies, and plans and orders for the employment of military force. One plan

1. (15 pts) Review the Operational Approach Student Aid Slide #7 for this question. Operational Design and the Operational Approach is a process of iterative understanding and problem framing that supports commanders and staffs in their application of operational art with tools and a methodology to conceive of and construct viable approaches to operations and campaigns.” (JP 5-0, III-1). In the context of the Mediterranean/North Africa Theater of Operations (M/NATO), using the contextual background notes and material provided for this exam in Parts 2 and 3, apply operational design thinking as described in JP 5-0 chapter III to answer the following.

One of the misinterpretations of the Common Core State Standards is that it is a curriculum and that there is specific criterion in how educators should teach the standards. There is a huge difference between a “list” of things to learn and a curriculum of study. As the author suggests in the article “Rewriting the Common Core State Standards for Tomorrow’s Literacies” people need to veer away from the right or wrong of the standards and focus on what the content of the standards are outlining that educators teach. In other words, breaking down the standards to interpret and reinterpret them and putting those interpretations to work in the classroom are what need to be evaluated (Van Cleave 46). Anyone can access the Common Core State Standards

As pre-service teachers it is important to keep up to date with the standards and how they can affect our cooperating teacher's students as well as our own future students. It is never too early to start learning information that will improve your ability to increase your ability to teach students better in the long run. Also with all the changes going on with Common Core, it is ever changing and thusly even more important to keep up to date with because these are the guides to which we will be building our lessons upon in the future and really even now. Understanding the Common Core is also a good idea because they can be confusing and starting early gives us a better chance at being able to use them in an effective was in the future by understanding

Standard based educational services for our societies students has transformed through the years. The establishment of the National Governor’s Association set of common core standards (CCS) has gained widespread attention according to Allman and Lewis (556). Within this shift, general education teachers and teachers of students with disabilities are being held more accountable for their student’s growth and knowledge. These standards have been adopted and implemented throughout our nation in order for our youth to be better prepared for higher learning once they

US Central Command’s (CENTCOM) lack of understanding the operational environment led to a poor definition of the problem. The key to understanding the operational environment is the ability to describe the current and desired operational environment. (JPiii8). CENTCOM’s planning did reflect a good understanding of the current operational environment. CENTCOM understood the influences Iraq’s current political structure

The days of unilateral and conventional battles are history. The Army of yesterday is no longer adequate to deter and defeat our nation’s enemies. Rather, the Army needs to adapt to meet the global challenges of today, and the complexity of hybrid threats. Former Army Chief of Staff, General Ray Odierno stated, “The Army is probably the most flexible, adaptable organization across all the services”. In conjunction with that claim, the Army is implementing the regionally aligned forces (RAF) concept. Through the implementation of the regionally aligned forces concept, our nation’s Army will become a versatile, adaptable and globally ready force. Although the RAF concept is thoroughly sound, it is doomed to fail during its implementation.

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.

Ensuring that future Army forces are prepared to win in a complex world requires a focused, sustained, and collaborative effort across the institutional Army, the operating force, the joint community, industry, academia, and other interorganizational and multinational partners. Future force development must also cooperate and integrate efforts across doctrine development, organizational design, training, materiel development, leader development and education, personnel management, and investments in facilities.

The chapter takes the national objectives outlined in the National Security Strategy (ends) combined with operational concepts outlined in the NMS (ways) and balances them against available resources (means) and risk. Finally, the CCJO outlines a globally integrated operations concept for Joint Force 2025, along with force development implications and risks within the context of the future global security environment.

Today’s society is always about efficiency, adaption, and making results. This can be viewed from a technological or philosophical stand point. In today’s world, much like yesterday’s, knowledge is the best tool to have and use. Which is why common core was created for the United States as a state led educational organization to better help children compete in the global economy and higher education. Their goal is to teach students strong reading, writing, analytical and math skills to better prepare them for college and careers. Common core has a comparatively similar model to the educational philosophy of Plato’s Republic. It takes the necessary key points from his educational concept and applies it to real life schooling in a very direct

Chapter 3, “The Army and the Joint Force,” describes the Army’s role among the other services, interdependence on their capabilities, Army contributions to sister services, and eleven mission types. It covers the Army’s core competencies which include: combined arms maneuver capability, and providing wide area security. The enabling competencies which support the core competencies include: supporting security cooperation, tailoring forces to the combatant commander, conducting entry operations, providing flexible mission command, supporting joint and army forces, supporting domestic civil authorities, mobilizing and integrating the reserve components. The final section of this chapter addresses that from WWII to present day conflicts the Army has grown in joint

How many different ways are there to do addition? According to the common core there are several ways to add. This is one reason of the many reasons why parents are against the common core. Parents are not the only ones protesting against the new teaching curriculum. Teachers are protesting just as vividly too. The common core needs to go, not only is it confusing for the parents but it is hard for kids; and it is hard for the teachers to teach.

Clausewitz defines war as an “act of force to compel our enemy to do our will.” The nature of war is enduring yet the character of war changes over time. Current US strategic guidance is advancing the point of view that since the character of war has changed to focus on irregular wars then the US military should prepare for a future of irregular wars. This shift in focus forgets that the nature of war is enduring and in order to be successful, we must prepare for all types of conflict. This paper will define the types of conflict and the likelihood of each followed by a discussion of US strategic guidance and ending with an analysis of the training resources and force structure requirements needed to achieve success for all types of
