Military Tactics

There is a multitude of different power within the military. The most utilized power in the military is the coercive power, or the leader’s perceived ability to punish. You often see this in the military because of our different laws highlighted in the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Followers tend to fall in line when the leader giving direction is capable of punishing their insubordination. This level of power is given to people as they progress in rank and is respected among followers but is not necessarily influential. The military requires its members to comply with the rank of those appointed above them and therefore by military law you must follow lawful orders or receive the appropriate level punishment. However, this does not guarantee you the influence of a more charismatic leader. Followers are receptive by force, but the quality of work suffers because followers are doing the bare minimum. They may follow the orders, but they would not

How significant was guerrilla warfare as a reason for the USAs lack of success in the Vietnam war?

The Army’s definition of leadership is influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation, while operating to accomplish the mission and improve the organization (Army, 2012). As a young Sergeant in the United States Army, I thought I was being a good leader by being an effective manager. I was determined to lead Soldiers and accomplish my organizations’ mission. As I gained more experience and attained the rank of Staff Sergeant, I realized that I was managing instead of leading. Leadership is not synonymous with management. Leadership goes beyond the allocation of personnel and resources to accomplish the organization’s goals. Leadership involves change, from being an individual performer to being an influencer. An effective leader has the ability to unite personnel behind the organization’s mission by examining individual motivations to promote success. Providing purpose and direction instills ownership in the success of the organization. A leader is also effective in building team culture. Yet, a leader cannot accomplish the above with establishing her/her own leadership philosophy grounded their individual values,

The other side argues that violent media in particular is causing children to act out on the actions seen within violent media. According to Leo “…the games are often played by unstable youngsters unsure about the difference” (Leo). The evidence, while partially true, fails to explain that only some children exposed to violent media are acting out on what they see. In addition, this shows that there is no causation apparent, as only a small percentage of children actually exhibit behaviors as a result of violent media. The opposition also asserts that the forms of media that are being exposed to children mainly involve violence. Leo states that “A widely cited survey of 900 fourth-through-eighth-grade students found that almost half of the children said their favorite electronic games involve violence”

A goal is defined as the desired result a person anticipates and plans to accomplish. For example the ultimate goal in college is to graduate. It is the big idea of any mission. A company may have a goal to be the best pizza service in the state. So, for Amazon, it could be reduce the cost of books, or it could be drive profit by increasing the cost of shipping. Goals can be long or short term goals. For example, a short term goal could be drink water all week. A long-term goal could be set freshman year of college which is to graduate on time. A goal is anything that an individual, company, school, or organization set to be achieved.

In the Army, leadership and management merge into one concept. As leadership is doctrinally conceptualized in managerial terms, it limits the scope of personal power. It is difficult, if not impossible, to conduct management functions that stretch outside the bounds of a given authority. Management is important and necessary; however, leadership initiates effective and lasting change in our Soldiers.

When manufactures/retailers put the word "tactical" in the same sentence with a knife or firearm or any piece of survival gear they can raise the price.

From the Hot Gates at Thermopylae to the beaches of Normandy, the walls of Troy to the sand boxes in the Middle East, as far back as history goes men and countries have assembled groups of their elite to fight for the ideals of nations and their people. But like all cadres they require leaders. They are leaders not only of vision to see the big picture in battle, but also possess the skill and aptitude to communicate clearly to their troops. It is this ability to communicate both thought and ideal, which gives military leaders the power of their position, and the loyalty and strength of the forces that come with it. To be efficient leaders and communicators they must not only give clear instruction, but more predominantly and more importantly utilize these three strategic traits: Adaptability, Confidence, and Charisma.

The capacity of an individual to influence someone’s character, development, and/or behavior effectively is the definition of an influential leader. A successful leader that demonstrates certain attributes and competencies, not only has an influence on their subordinates, but also influences outside the organization. As a Staff Sergeant with 11 years in the Army, I have encountered several different types of leaders, some good and some not. One leader stands out in my mind as influencing who I am as a leader today, 1SG Alvin King. 1SG King’s demonstrated character, presence, and intellect influenced me as a Soldier and leader, and contributed positively to the Army and NCO Corps.

The purpose of this Foundation of Strategy paper is to defend this author’s opinion as to “What have been or are currently the three greatest challenges for the United States in translating its military power into desired political outcomes or end states?” (Air War College) Additionally, the paper will “evaluate the three challenges in the context of two different conflicts.” (Air War College) In today’s ever dynamic and changing strategic landscape, there are plenty of challenges facing the United States. As one can imagine, the palate is full given the many facets and combinations in which senior leaders make decisions as to how best to reach a desired end goal and/or political outcome.

There were also many military tactical training sessions which lasted all day and were always held in the open field. Under the hot sun, we had to endure many long, exhausting instructions and physically demanding drills. On each of those training days, we all wished to get under the cover and out of the torturing sun. We always prayed for rain, especially heavy and long rain, so we could just sit still under our big ponchos and doze off. In every one of those tactical drills, I always volunteered to enact as a Việt Cộng for simulating the enemy, hoping to find opportunities for covertly eating some snacks or catching a nap.

Part 1 Military theory after World War II drastically changed for two major reasons: the dropping of Atomic weapons on Japan and what would become known as the Cold War between the USSR and the West. Foreign policy, which became military policy, starting in 1947 is known as the "Truman Doctrine." This began with U.S. support of Greece and Turkey with economic and military aid to prevent those countries from falling under Soviet influence. The policy was written as a response to the events that took place in the Eastern European Theater after World War II. The Soviet Union coopted much of Eastern Europe, ½ of Germany, ½ of Berlin, and believed they needed an even greater buffer zone to protect Russia from the West. Greece and Turkey were logical extensions of this because both had been devastated during WWII and had strong socialist parties. Truman believed that if Greece and Turkey did not receive the aid they needed, they would inevitable fall to Soviet influence. The intended audience was wide: this was a clear message to the Soviet Union; a message to Europe that the U.S. would not tolerate Soviet aggression; a message to the people of Greece and Turkey that the U.S. would side with them; and a message to Congress and the American people that the U.S. would put in a formal policy to prevent the spread of worldwide communism. Post World War II events were top of mind for most Americans; there was a fervent anti-communism movement afoot in the United States, and a clear

Tactics is an online skate, surf, snow and street specialty store that is owned and staffed by riders. The company was conceived late in 1998 and the formal founding followed in 1999. The owners conceived the idea for Tactics at Mt. Bachelor in Oregon and initially operated out of a garage. The brand has grown considerably since then and has an 8,000 square foot store in Oregon where all online orders are stocked from a modern warehouse. Since the staff are all riders they are able to offer knowledgeable assistance about products and answer questions via e-mail, phone calls or live chats.
