Special Operations Division: A Case Study

On June 13, 1942 William “Wild Bill” Donovan set out to select, train, and assess hundreds of young enlisted and commissioned soldiers for the daunting task of operating behind enemy lines in World War II. Each of these soldiers would endure six to eight months of rigorous training that included small unit tactics, language, subversion, sabotage, logistical resupply, and supporting a resistance force. At the conclusion of training, eighty-three Americans would join the ranks of over a hundred Jedburgh teams that inserted into occupied France to disrupt Nazi forces. Their mission: organize, arm, and train groups of French resistance guerrilla and orchestrate the sabotage and guerrilla warfare activities to complement operations of the advancing

Homer Atkins and his wife possessed a tremendous ability to comprehend the principles of the Special Operations Imperatives. They particularly displayed thorough usage of the concepts in ensure long-term engagement, consider long-term effects, engage the threat discriminately, and understand the operational environment.

To me the Defense team had the most credible evidence. For example, the defence team had a referral saying Red Chief had a rope and tied a student to the bathroom door. Now the story they were going with made sense with that evidence because they said that Red Chief tied up Bill “Old Hank” so it made it more convincible that Red Chief was guilty. Even though the prosecution team won I still believe that the defence team was right because their story added up better. Also i think that the defence team had more evidence to prove their case. Therefore the defence had better evidence and should have won.

“Guys talk about Military Operations on Urban Terrain (MOUT) being the right place for light Infantry, but very few understand the power of a mechanized heavy battalion in an urban environment” -Lieutenant Colonel Pete A. Newell (Matthews, n.d.)

In regards to the mass eMMPS email that was sent out on 5 May 2016. I understand there is confusion in regards to the receipt of the email and access being suspended. If you received the mass email; it means you have access to the eMMPs module regardless of the role you might have or have any Line of duties pending in your queue. Everyone with access received the email. At this time access will not be suspended.

The current situation faced by the 56th Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) is a classic example of the effects of war on people and organizations, where the “before the war” state of both is dramatically changed on “the other side.” The current “other side” of the 56th ABCT is an organization that has been beleaguered by the ambiguous command structure of war; an unexpected, prolonged deployment; the loss of key leaders; operational and personal friction during war; the inability to adapt to demands of doing more with less and not being properly equipped and trained to conduct stability operations. The 56th ABCT’s “face of battle” is one that has been negatively affected by “the eye of command.” The only thing certain about war, as

It is noted that over “70 percent of organizational change efforts fail” (Jansson, 2013). Nevertheless, change is an inevitable part of a learning organization. The 93d Signal Brigade is experiencing change. Senior Army leaders have determined that there is a need to transform from geographically based information technology services to consolidated enterprise services at regional locations. Employees know this as Network Enterprise Centers (NECs) regionalization. The driving force behind this initiative is the United States Army Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM). Employees within the 93d Signal Brigade, which is a subordinate unit to NETCOM, are voicing their concerns about the effort to regionalize network centers. The

When Ted Turner was launching his cable-TV empire in the '80s, he paid the bills by selling commercial space to anyone who had anything to sell.

In the last few weeks you have reviewed a majority of Intelligence Community members. This week you explore DIA and the military services. What do you find are the biggest differences between civilian IC members and the military. What legal restrictions do the DoD entities have to follow that don't apply to the civilian agencies?

The convoy of Jeeps drove quickly up the long, winding, stone covered driveway. In the distance at the end of the drive stood an imposing Country House, the clipped ivy-covered facade of the house looking unchanged from Centuries past.

Two categories of effectiveness in preventing vehicle theft have been identified, as well as one category for systems which assist in the recovery of the vehicle if it is stolen. Proper use of the systems described in categories one and two will respectively provide an optimum level and a minimum level of theft deterrence.

The Servicemembers Operations Center (SOC) call center team has only two representatives who never know what they will face each time the phone rings. Although their primary duties include assisting active duty servicemembers with the application for SCRA benefits, they go above and beyond that duty. They are the only customer facing voices of the SOC and each call is taken with a friendly, understanding voice and a high degree of professionalism. Based on a monthly average, 150 misrouted calls flow through the call center totaling 10 hours spent addressing unrelated SCRA calls. Disregarding the fact that these calls come into the SOC in error, these representatives evaluate the needs of each customer and redirect them to the necessary

The multifunctional nature of Operations Management requires a high level of process- and system-based synchronization across many different departments and divisions to be successful. The structural organization of the US Army is heavily dependent on Operations Management for missions to be accomplished, and long-term strategic visions to be attained (VanVactor, 2007). The intent of this analysis is to evaluate how the five areas of accounting, industrial engineering, management, management science and statistics, in conjunction with critical path analysis and linear programming, are used extensively throughout the US Army's supply chain operations.
