Muhammed Farah Aydid Analysis

Mission Command is the framework used by the U.S. Army to ensure key leaders receive clear direction from commanders. Clear commander’s guidance allows subordinates to make disciplined and informed decisions to best accomplish assigned tasks. Ideally, application of mission command principles ensures all elements integrate and sync actions, thus creating a shared understanding and purpose. Analysis of Major General (MG) William Garrison’s decision making during the Battle of Mogadishu demonstrates how mission command principles must be applied to gain and maintain a position of advantage during military ground operations. As commander of Task Force Ranger (TFR), MG Garrison demonstrated both successful and failed application of mission command principles. Four principles will be discussed in the

Do you believe that Master Fard Muhammad is Allah in person? While Other religions say that God is not a man, so Master Fard Muhammad cannot be Allah in person, the Nation of Islam believes that Master Fard Muhammad is Allah in person. I do believe that Master Fard Muhammad is Allah in person, and most people doubt it and ask what evidence do we have to prove that, but despite what other people say I do believe that there is reasonable evidence to prove that because He had gained 10,000 followers alone in Black Bottom, Detroit, He took a man named Elijah Poole, who only had a third grade education, and taught him for three years, a knowledge that was so powerful, and He came to North America by himself to raise his father's people.

Farah Ahmedi is a poor girl looking for a better life. Walt Masters is a different boy doing the right thing by saving claims. Aengus is the god of love, curious and determined to obtain what he wants. However, all three of them are determined to complete the mission that they have undertaken because they were trying to make their lives and other lives better.

The use of Irregular Warfare has been ongoing for years around the world. Irregular warfare is described as a violent struggle among state and non-state actors for legitimacy and influence over the relevant populations. I will discuss where the U.S. may apply military force in conjunction with other means of national power to stabilize the nation of Somalia. I will also discuss why it would be considered as an Irregular Warfare environment.

(6:30 - 9:03) The U.S. had to fight their way through Somalia militia before capturing Aidid. As hours progressed in Somalia the U.S. lost two Black Birds, and many soldiers were either wounded or dead. Chaos broke lose in Somalia, because we see a hatred race yearning to kill, and have victory. Somalia militias believe (1:45:00 - 1:45:52) if the Americans capture Aidid the killing doesn’t stop, and if there is no victory then there is no peace.

In every war or conflict, both sides of the engagement experience causalities. One of the basic skills of any Soldier is to render aid to their injured battle buddies and to never leave a fallen comrade. Even with the medical equipment Soldiers or medics carry with them sometimes the aid they can render is not suitable for the types of injures the casualty has sustained. The Army needed a way to quickly get their wounded from the battlefield or field treatment facility to an established medical treatment facility so that they can receive treatment more appropriate for their injuries. Thus enters the medical evacuation, more specifically aeromedical evacuation. The feasibility and full advantages of aeromedical evacuation by high-performance,

With a long history of violence, rebellion, and chaos, the African country of Somalia now seeks guidance. The country’s violent past started when military forces overthrew the last democratically elected government in October 1969, about 37 years ago. Military rule undermined, and ultimately destroyed the country. The military regime divided citizens into allies and enemies, and rewarded its allies while it punished whole communities. Life conditions in Somalia became so unbearable that the President Bush, Sr. was forced to act, and ordered thousands of American troops to enter Somalia in order to open the roads so that emergency food aid could be urgently delivered to the citizens.

By November of 1992, conditions were getting worse instead of better. Food was still being stolen and sold off to clan leaders while aid workers were threatened and attacked. Americans were stunned at the lawlessness and starvation. Thousands of troops were ordered into Somalia to assist in the aid by President George H. Bush. Now food was getting to the people that it was intended for but distrust for the American soldiers was growing after they often violated Somalis privacy by bursting into their homes and confiscating the weapons that was the Somalis only defense against the opposing clans.6 In March of 1993 the U.S. withdrew most of its troops leaving the security of the people to the UN. By this time anger was growing towards the outsiders and the UN took most of the fallout for that by being attacked regularly. Hostility grew even more when the UN announced that the clan led by Aidid was the one responsible for the lawlessness in Somalia.7 When the UN took sides against the most powerful warlord in Somalia, the attacks against the aid workers was stepped up. 24 Pakistani peace keepers were killed

Somalia is a small country in the eastern part of Africa, known as “The Horn of Africa”. According to the CIA World Factbook (2016), Somalia has a population of roughly 10.4 million, and 85 percent of people are Somali. Additionally, a significant part of the population is Muslim, (CIA World Factbook, 2016), whom have contributed to the current conflict. In this report, we analyze the recent violent conflict and U.S. intervention in Somalia.

After reading the second part of Medea Benjamins book, I found one of the most interesting parts was when the pilot and camera man were communicating. In this part, they go back and forth on what they believe to be a view of people in the Taliban. The screener in Florida reported seeing children. They go back and forth debating on whether there are children or not and the fire shots. Afterwards there was reports saying “Dead and wounded everywhere.” (93) and “Women and children.” After massacring a group of civilians this was justified by saying “no way to tell, man.” I found this interesting because they are supposed to be sure before they pull the trigger, and even with doubt in their minds they still decided to shoot. Afterwards they

In August of 1992, President George Bush Sr. sent US soldiers into Somalia to provide humanitarian relief to those Somalis suffering from starvation. The major problems in Somalia started when President Mohammed Siad Barre was overthrown by a coalition of opposing clans. Although there were several opposing groups, the prominent one was led by Mohammed Farah Aidid. Following the overthrow of Barre, a massive power struggle ensued. These small scale civil wars led to the destruction of the agriculture in Somalia, which in turn led to the deprivation of food in large parts of the country. When the international community heard of this, large quantities of food were sent to ease Somali suffering. However, clan leaders like Aidid routinely

Human factors still a contributing factor of aircraft mishaps in the United States military. This paper will address how military pilots being physical fit this will reduce or eliminate human errors related to three categories of mishaps and the three classes of severity in all branches of the United States Military caused by fatigue during deployment. The three classes of mishaps the United States Military uses are Flight Mishap (FM), Flight-Related Mishap (FRM) and Aircraft Ground Mishap (AGM)and the three severity classes are Class A severity, Class B severity and Class C severity ( ).

In August 1993 US soldiers faced fire from armed clans and the two Black Hawk helicopters were shot down. As a response, Clinton augmented American troop presence, in an attempt to keep peace and track down a warlord (Mohamed Farah Aideed) the first responsible for the chaos. This decision resulted in the killing of 18 soldiers in the Battle of Mogadishu, dozens wounded, and the bodies of the dead desecrated in the streets. The mission rapidly lost popularity with the American people. In the face of significant political opposition, Clinton finally withdrew all U.S. forces in March 1994. This fruitless intervention was at the heart of the Clinton administration's refusal to act in Rwanda the following month in its bloody civil war.

Somaliland is the previous British protectorate, and was the typical fragile state situated in the northwest of Somalia. Somaliland was ignored by the Mogadishu-based government since the 1980s. There are historical records that affirms how the wars with Barre’s army was devastating, and in several accounts it was documented that during the war period its urban communities were besieged, its farmland mined, and a huge number of its inhabitants fled to neighbouring nations. Public administration institutions and business organizations vanished. Countless individuals had been executed and many thousands disrupted, their property and homes ruined and or plundered (xx, xxx). The economy in effect came to a standstill, and the armed force, police and public administration had broken down and their substance stripped. In those days, whatever efforts for reconstruction was enormously impossible. Today it is possible but difficult to overlook how far the state has come, and what amount has as of now been accomplished (Bulhan 1999:7).

Somalia has a transitional government called the Transitional Federal Government (TFG), which does not measure up to satisfy Somalis ' desire for stability and prosperity. According to the 2011 National Strategy for Counterterrorism, Somalia’s chaotic
