The Mission Of The Uss Ronald Reagan

The intention of this paper is to introduce my leadership philosophy. I will start off defining leadership as well as explaining my leadership philosophy. I will then share a summary of an interview with a Squadron Commander about a difficult situation that he needed to use his philosophy to work through and analyze how my philosophy applies to the same situation followed by a brief summary.

The movie “Twelve O’ Clock High” is a case study in the application of leadership theory during World War Two. Gregory Peck portrays Brigadier General Savage, a United States Army Air Force officer thrust into a situation that requires a maximum effort both on the ground and in the air as he attempts to re-invigorate an undisciplined, anxiety ridden, and ineffective combat unit. Throughout the movie we observe Peck’s character employing a variety of leadership methods, but ultimately discovering that true combat effectiveness and cohesion is accomplished through a

As a Senior Enlisted Leader I aspire to develop a better comprehension of strategic issues. Having in-depth knowledge of the complexities behind decisions, processes, and the totality of circumstances is instrumental when addressing matters to Coast Guard field units. Furthermore, this perspective is integral to a Senior Enlisted Leader’s ability to provide timely, complete and reliable counsel to operational and strategic leaders, particularly when making decisions that significantly affect the workforce.

This concise paper addresses a lifetime of learning on part of the author and the gracious graduated squadron commander interviewee who leant his time and wisdom. In the next few paragraphs the three key elements that will be addressed include: the author’s leadership philosophy, elicited in the hot seat from the Group Commander, a summary of the author’s commander interview, and an analysis of the interview through the lens of the author’s own philosophy.

The movie 12 O’clock High was filmed and produced in 1949 directly after World War Two. This was a critical moment in American history simply because this was the first time that America was the greatest power globally. Due to this rise in international responsibility from power, patriotism soared in the United States. Culturally films like 12 O’clock High were produced highlighting important roles that were played in the defeat of the Axis powers during World War Two. On a more extensive note, the film displays what leadership influence tactics can be used to drastically turn a unit around during a time of war. This unit, part of the American Army Air Force, is known as the 918th Bomber Group located in England, during the year of 1942. At the beginning of the film, Col. Davenport was the Air Commanding Officer with Lt. Col. Gately as the Air Executive Officer. However, General Savage had to step in and relieve Col. Davenport of command after several major battle losses cause morale to fall to an all-time low. Additionally, Lt. Col. Gately is also relieved of command as Air Executive Officer and placed as an aircraft commander due to his inability to fly missions and be a part of the “team effort”. This is the major turning point in the movie as from this point forward the 918th Bomber Group eventually becomes a brutal fighting force with the help Major Stovall who is the administrator for the Air Commanding Officer. This paper will discuss the interactional framework:

It can be argued that General Henry “Hap” Arnold is the father of the United States Air Force. His experiences, wisdom, and foresight are what made him, in every way, a visionary leader. Due to his efforts developing air mindedness during the first part of the 20th century, he shaped what is today the greatest Air Force on the planet. I will begin by explaining his effective use of transformational leadership and the impact it has on the development of airpower. Then I will explain how his acceptance of diversity impacted the war effort during WWII and the future of the United States Air Force. First, we must know what shaped him into the leader he eventually became.

The USS MIdway was built in 1947 in the United States. The majority of workers who worked on the midway were women, the reason is because most of the men were out in war at the time. They used two different types of process to build the midway. They first type is that they used rivets. The process of using a type of bolt through both pieces of metal to keep it intact and keep it together. The second type of process is GMAW also known as mig welding. This type of welding is used by a machine that uses a roll of steel wire and melts it to fill or combined metal. They used this type of welding and use layers to make the bond more strong for it to last longer.

The department’s leadership is responsible for providing appropriate manpower and resources to each mission using an increasingly tight budget, while also following strict laws for high priority missions, such as nuclear defense, which mandate both high levels of training and manpower (Air Education Training Command, 2015). Additionally, warfare technology has become incredibly advanced. Due to this complication, the educational and technical requirements for military service members and employees are steadily increasing.

As an LPD, her mission is to embark, transport, and land Marines and their equipment for a multitude of warfare missions. Her well deck can contain either two landing craft air cushions (LCAC’s) or one landing craft utility (LCU), and 14 amphibious assault vehicles (AAV’s). When deployed, she will be part of an amphibious readiness group (ARG) where she serves as an additional aviation platform. She has the capacity to land and launch two CH53 Super Stallion’s, or two MV-22 Ospreys, or up to four Ch-46 Sea Knights. The LPD has a hangar that can house up to two aircraft. The USS NEW YORK has a crew of 360 Sailors and 3 Marines with an embarked surge capacity of up to an additional 800 people. The USS NEW YORK is currently homeported in Mayport,

I am Joseph Maruska, I am currently a Major in the United States Air Force. This essay will introduce you to my personal command philosophy. It will also summarize and analyze a brief interview recently conducted with a current squadron commander using my own leadership philosophy as a guide. Throughout this essay I will draw upon my own personal experiences and thoughts, lessons discussed throughout the Leadership and Command Course, as well the discussion with a current squadron commander. Leadership and command styles come in many different forms and there is not necessarily a correct or incorrect way to lead depending on your organization or current turn of events. This essay is simply my thoughts after being in the Air Force for the last eleven years.

In the book Turn the Ship Around, Captain L. David Marquet describes how he took the submarine, the USS Santa Fe, from “worst to first” in the United States fleet by transforming the leadership structure from “leader-follower” to “leader-leader.”

This thesis will cover the Support of the Commander’s Leadership Philosophy, command climate, strategies, and the role of the gunnery sergeant’s importance in the execution of the Commander’s leadership philosophy for Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 214, Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia. We feel that the command climate at this unit is good. The three strategies that we will use to discuss this will be communication, training and leadership and how important they are in order to establish an effective and productive environment. We will also discuss how the gunnery sergeant’s important role is the key to ensuring that these strategies are

David Marquet is an expert on leadership and innovation. His passion for leadership began as a teenager when he discovered a series of books by Samuel Eliot Morison – History of the United States Naval Operations in World War II. The 15-volume series assisted Marquet in realizing he wanted to become a Captain of a Navy vessel in which all members could serve and function to the best of their ability. Marquet graduated at the top of his class from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1981 and subsequently joined the submarine force. He served as an engineer aboard the USS Will Rogers (Our story). Marquet was chosen to take command of the USS Santa Fe and took control of the ship January 8, 1999. He was responsible for 135 men and the $2 billion nuclear powered submarine. The USS Santa

Most Navy ships have a name and a designator to identify the specific naval vessel. In the case of CVN 68-77, the ships being identified are the 68th through 77th approved Aircraft Carriers (CV), unique because they are equipped with a nuclear propulsion system (N). These carriers are considered Nimitz Class, and this designation was unknown prior to 1975. These carriers are considered Nimitz class because the lead ship of the class – CVN-68 - is named after Chester W. Nimitz, the U.S. Navy’s last fleet admiral (Polmar 88). Through CVN-77 George H.W. Bush, these supercarriers are considered to be the most powerful warships in the world. Throughout this essay, the platform’s history, current roles, and future,

As the heart of the Carrier Strike Group (CSG) and Seventh Fleet, the aircraft carrier must carry its 100,000 ton weight in this fight. The CSG must find a way to counter the A2/AD threat in order to be an effective tool in the South China Sea, and the reported $14 billion dollar price tag says that it better. The planned composition of a Carrier Air Wing (CVW) consists of 3 FA-18E/F, 1 F/A-18G, 1 F-35C, 1 E-2D, and 2 MH-60 squadrons. The scope of this research is limited to the need to protect the carrier strike group from attacking aircraft and striking ground and sea based targets on the Chinese coast. For this intent, the capabilities and limitations of the E-2D and MH-60 are not of immediate concern. However, it is important to fully analyze not only the capabilities, but the limitations of the strike-fighter aircraft in the air wing. Each FA-18E/F squadron consists of 12 aircraft that have the ability to perform both the air-to-air and air-to-ground role as well as perform airborne refueling. The requirement to perform airborne refueling is extremely important as the S-3 Viking was removed from service in 2009. The FA-18E/F has a limited combat radius of less than 400nm without airborne refueling, considerably less than what would be required to strike any targets under the 1200nm protective ring of Chinese DF-21 missiles.
