Maturity Model In The Military

In this report I will be going over the importance of training and education within the military, and how they both play very important roles to not only leaders, but the service members within our ranks. The military is constantly training and, we train as we fight. However, before soldiers train, they must be well educated in all areas in which they will be training. Proper education is the key to proper training. I will also discuss the importance of becoming better educated while serving in the military, as it will make transitioning back into the

The analysis is then given to consumers and policy makers, once it is checked by the analyst supervisor and peers. The analyst should also be ready to give a briefing on short notice. But both the analyst and the policy maker or consumer have to be aware of at all times, is that the intelligence field does not know everything. “On any given subject, the intelligence community faces what is in effect a field of rocks, and it lacks the resources to turn over every one to see what threats to national security may lurk underneath” (Pillar).

A good leader in the United States Army is made-up of several different essential characteristics. As soon to become leaders in our profession, is our individual responsibility to know, understand and apply these characteristics in the way we conduct ourselves every day. Because we are the role models for soldiers to follow not only in our job but also in our personal life. Stewardship of the Army profession in one of these mayor characteristics of a good leader in our career. Being a steward of the profession, focuses in three mayor traits: character, competence and commitment.

Respect, especially in the Army is a very important value to live by. It is much more than just talking kindly and listening to someone. It is the process of taking into consideration someone’s emotions, feelings and needs. You must also focus on their ideas, thoughts, and preferences. It is showing someone that you value their time; that you care what they have to say. Showing someone respect allows that person to know and acknowledge that you are tracking them and that you comprehend and believe in what they are saying, It is important to allow someone to feel your respect for them. It will ease the conversation and create trust. Behavior and attitude will allow the person demanding respect to feel that respect. When we

Management styles differ dependent on an Army leader. But when it comes to projects and tasks there are two styles that reign supreme: macro management and micromanagement. Generally speaking, macro management is the best way to go when grooming future leaders. With macro management, a good leader allows their subordinates to take on tasks that leaders want their subordinates to grow from that will aid them to become more technically and tactically proficient. Subordinates demonstrate their abilities and exhibits to their leaders the results of their work or tasking, leaders will continue to give their subordinates guidance, and they revise the product to Army standards while maintaining a feeling of accomplishment.

Trust is the foundational attribute that every professional Soldier should possess. Despite sustained military conflicts throughout the world over the past thirteen years, we have still been able to maintain firm belief in our reliability as an Army. When it comes to confidence from the public other organizations such as the police, the government, the media, and various other organizations do not have the same level of trust that the American people have in us. Trust is the most important of the five characteristics of the Army profession. Without trust we would lose the support of the American public, trust is the embodiment of our profession, and trust drives the four other characteristics of the Army profession.

Discipline is the quality of being able to behave and work in a controlled way which involves obeying particular rules or standards. However, it can be interpreted in an alternative way; if you refer to an activity or situation as a discipline, you mean that, in order to be successful in it, you need to behave in a strictly controlled way and obey particular rules or standards. Punishment can be used to correct disobedience in some circumstances.

I have wanted to go into the military since i was very young. Most children say that they want to be a firefighter or a doctor, but i said that i wanted to be in the military. I remeber looking at pictures and learning about military officers and i felt called to be one of those men. My decision and dreams never changed, as most childrens do when they realize the work required. But for reasons beyond my comprehension, my desire of a miltary life never wavered. Both of my parents' fathers served in the military, one n the Air Force and one in the Army. They told me stories of their days in the military, bragging of their different branhes and I took what they said and choose a school that woud lead to a career in neither of their branches.

Peer-Pressure can be used for numerous situations; some may be positive, while most are usually seen as negative. Researchers have pointed out those forced into the army are more likely to be exposed to peer-pressure. An important, yet untouched, issue in the military is “wartime rape,” particularly in civil war times, which is usually caused by the influence of others. Dana Kay Cohen, author of “Explaining Rape during Civil War: Cross-National Evidence (1980-2009)” explains that,” [w]ithout a clear comparative understanding of where and to what extent wartime rape occurs, it is difficult to draw defensible conclusions.” Thus, it is not certain why rape occurs so frequently in the military. However, Cohen believes civil war influences the chances

Every person lives their life like no other. Most people just think of themselves, and never think about how other feel and wanting to know their life history. Why would anyone want to know someone else life history, you ask? Veterans are all around us and go through so much before, during, and after the serve the military. One person I myself never asked about his experience until now was my brother-in-law Francisco Navarro. I still remember the day he left to basic training and come back on certain holidays to visit the family. Finally, the day came and I had to interview him for a project. Yes, never crossed my mind to ask him about the military experience; I didn’t know how too. To me, asking a veteran about their military experience would bring horrible and tragic memories to themselves. I was wrong, it made Francisco think about some good old times and some bad ones too, in the military.

Nearly 50 percent of the veterans with GI Bill benefits have failed to finish school. It's believed to be a direct result of them picking the wrong college major. Veterans should be seeking career counseling before choosing a major as well as getting some feedback and direction early in their academic career. http://gibill.va.gov/

Professionals in the United States Army stand apart from others engaged in particular careers in the civilian world. While many vocations contain some of the characteristics of professional, a lot of careers do not include all of the elements necessary to distinguish themselves as being as close to a professional as a United States soldier. Professionalism grows depending on the time and service they have in the Army. A professional has specialized knowledge and skill which can only be acquired through prolonged education and experience. Such skill and experience form the basis of objective standards of professional competence that separate the practicing professional from their peers and

Service members in the military are faced with tough decisions on a daily basis. Despite the difficult situations, the majority of service members will opt to the right thing. However; there are several service members who will elect the easy path and end up choosing the wrong decision, even though they know the right thing to do. I agree with General. H. Norman Schwarzkopf that people know the right thing to do and that it is difficult to execute because of a person’s belief, risky behavior, and integrity.

Military Discipline is a state of order and obedience existing within a command. Self discipline in the military is where soldiers do the 4 rights without being told, even in the absence of the commander. Discipline is created within a unit by instilling a sense of confidence and responsibility in each individual. To strengthen discipline, senior leaders need to give praise to their subordinates, either individually or as a whole, for tasks done well. By doing this, it will accomplish every commanders goal of having a unit that functions well and builds a bond which binds together the team. Everything in life requires some sort of discipline. Whether it is hitting a baseball, learning to sew , playing a musical instrument, making good

A steady decline in enlistment of youth in defence services poses a major problem leading to acute shortages of human resource requirements in the defence sector. Identifying the major predictors of a youth’s intention to join the defence forces will facilitate screening the right type of youth who possess the required life skills, attitudes and beliefs, potentials, temperament, and other personality characteristics relevant for discharging the duties and responsibilities of defence services. It was hypothesized that career intention would be predicted by their social, psychological characteristics such as Attitude towards Military and Self –Efficacy. Data was collected on Attitudes towards Military, Self-Efficacy, Subjective norms and Enlistment Intentions from one hundred and nineteen Higher Secondary School students in Coimbatore district, TamilNadu. Factor analysis was carried to find out the core dimensions of attitudes towards Military. Regression analysis revealed that the young adolescent attitude towards military and self-efficacy significantly predicted their strong intention to enlist in the defence services. The results showed that the following four core attitude dimensions such as “Self and Physical Development”, “Evaluation of Working Condition and benefits”, “Perceived risk”, and “Team work and Patriotism” significantly predicted the intentions to enlist in the defence services. Also, subjective norms and self-efficacy significantly contributes to the
