Future Military Advancements

There is a point in a Soldiers career where you have to make a decision that best suits you. In 2007, the Army Acquisitions Corps (ACC) offered me the opportunity to be a part of something innovative. Having already been actively involved in the acquisition community, providing for the war fighter, and feeling a sense of accomplishment in doing so, there is an internal sense of pride in being a part of the latest Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) in the United States Army, 51C; Acquisition, Logistics and Technology Non-Commissioned Officer (ALTNCO). The transition into a new career would lead me down a path of self-analysis and unit assessment regarding the lack of future planning to help properly

I have always been interested in the medical field. My father is a physiotherapist and my mother has a bachelorette in Microbiology and is a laboratory technologist. I have grown up having science-themed discussions around the dinner table and books lying around the house. With the experience of my parents at their respected professions, I did not have the feeling that these paths were the correct fit for me. I liked the hands on side of physiotherapy but I wanted something more technology related. I searched the medical field for a career that combined my fascination for both human science and technology in addition to being able to interact with patients. My research on Radiation Therapy instantly established a thought that this is a career

Throughout the 20th century, the Canadian military has improved. WW1 and 2 brought on a new era of weapons and technologies. During the Cold War; Canada only exported weapons and supplies to the US mostly. There were other wars like the Afghanistan War and the Iraq War that helped Canada bring new things to the table. But throughout the past few decades, the major ways that the Canadian Military has improved, includes; diversity, military technological improvements, and soldier treatment.

Thomas Philpott's article “Military Update: DoD Medical Records Seen as a Hurdle for VA Care” expresses a message that the DoD is so focused on their database and their agenda to the point where they have lost focus on the people who are entitled to their service. The digitized health care system the DoD currently uses is called AHLTA; the IT system has been a “problem for the VA and for veterans because, in fact, it doesn’t allow electronic record transfers outside the military network” (Philpott, 2006). The article is biased in the sense that it places all of the blame of the DoD without any counter-argument as to why the DoD chooses not to expand to a shared system; however, the problem still stems back to the ineffective

The challenges were that there was not a well-trained army, the white male population size, the loyalist, and money.

In today 's military, we are experiencing more changes than ever before. The United States has separated forces, added forces and changed rules and regulations to adapt with the times. As we grow and advance so does our military. That is part of the reason they are so great, but it has its downfalls as well. The military is not only changing the way we operate, but who does the operating, honestly they have their hand in aspect of life and I will name only a few. They have also made a huge impact on the economy, gender roles and the controversy between the roles, and they are taking control in more ways than we think.

The three most significant obstacles to effective innovation of the United States military during the interwar period were the limited financial means, not knowing the next enemy, and technology that is changing too rapidly to capture and to mass produce. There are many other reasons that could be listed, though these are the most significant. If America were to have developed these three hurdles during the 1920s and 1930s, they would have been better prepared for entry into World War II. The lessons learned in this essay could transpose to any time of peace the US has enjoyed after a major battle.

Speaking of your future, I’d like to share with you some of the specifics about the 1B4X1career field, also known with the identifier of Cyberspace Defense Operations.

The military advancements in camouflage have greatly evolved over the course of history. The first written historical account of the military use of camouflage was during the Gallic Wars (54-56 BC). Julius Caesar sent blue-green reconnaissance ships with crewmen wearing the same color to gather information and remain undetected. Another major invention with the goal to blend in with the surrounding is The Ghillie suit, a nonlinear and lightweight camouflage military suit for snipers to blend in with the surrounding foliage. (Durando, 2014) Its first military use dates back to Second Boer War by Lovat Scouts (Attar, 2011). French artists during World War I became a large part in producing military camouflage when its importance became apparent.

The information revolution – an incredible growth in possibilities of receiving and passing on information, changed the way how the world is functioning so significantly that we are able to say that we are now living in the midst of the information age. Digital technology opened new possibilities to economy and had also big impact on most other areas of human life. Among them, conflicts and wars have always occupying important place. Through last decades the U.S. military were not only a beneficent but even a founder of the technological progress.[1] Demand for the technological superiority, the decisive factor in prospective war, were forcing

Technological advancements have played a crucial role in prospering a country's economic and social standing. Looking at it from a resourceful perspective, a country heading into war puts a strain on the nation's resources due to the high demand of goods. Generally speaking, wars do, however, accelerate the technological development of a nation in order to adapt to the needs of the military. Prior to the start of the Vietnam war which began in 1955-1975 technological equipment such as the helicopter, airpower, infantry weapons, booby traps, and anti-aircraft were not around. Only until the start of the war, we began to see an advancement in equipment. These improvements have altered the lives of citizens both on a large and a small scale.

Create specialized emergency response units within U.S. service branches to better aid in humanitarian emergencies. Costs, training and personal are all factors that need to be examined in this matter.

During the last several decades the debt-fueled worldwide economy produced many negative economic effects including unsustainable personal spending, real estate bubbles and unstable commodity (especially oil) prices. This negative trends resulted in massive economic crisis in 2008 that affected the most of the world by undercutting the economic growth and by producing a huge demand for reducing all kinds of spending. In most of the western countries, public and external debt exceeds 80% of their annual Gross Domestic Products creating an insolvency of a tremendous extent that severely threatens their national security. Unfortunately, this trend seems to continue in the next, at least, 20 years. Consequently, defense sector has been forced

As for what the future holds, I have been heavily considering pursuing a career in Army acquisition. It would mean a great deal to me to join the Army Contracting Command (ACC). The ACC is the basically the business arm of the Army and is comprised of soldiers, civilians and contractors who support our troops engaged in battle through the acquisition of goods and services. The Career Program 14 (CP-14) is the onboarding and training program for Department of the Army civilians who wish to venture into acquisitions. The curriculum is designed to provide the knowledge, skills, and abilities to lead and manage effectively.

For theorists of Fourth Generation War (4GW), there’s both good news and bad news. The good news is that there is only one problem with the notion of 4GW. The bad news is that the theory itself is the problem. Like the fabled emperor who had no clothes, 4GW is bereft of any intellectual garments: the concept itself is fundamentally and hopelessly flawed. It is based on poor history and only obscures what other theorists and analysts have already clarified. Although the idea of 4GW emerged in the late 1980s, it has gained considerable popularity of late, particularly as a result of recent twists in the war in Iraq. It is worth a moment, therefore,
