The Role Of Stubby In The US Army

Sergeant Stubby deserves his title as the bravest dog of World War I not only due to his heroic actions on the battle front, but also the comforting effect he had on the American home front after the war. Many times we don’t think about the animals it takes to fight a war. From the pack horses on the battle front to the kittens back at home, it takes many animals to get a country through a war. Sadly, many of the animals on the battle front die without anyone, aside from their unit, caring. However, there are a few who’s contribution to the war is recognized and who’s stories is told for generations. It is through these few animals that the important contribution of animals’ role in war is recognized. Sergeant Stubby is one of the lucky few

The story begins with the narrator stating “ We shot dogs. Not by accident. We did it on purpose, and we called it Operation Scooby. I’m a dog person, so I thought about that a lot”. According the quote, the author is a dog person probably owns one (yes later revealed on the story) he loves dogs, thus shooting them to death on purpose is going to have some negative effects on him. The shooting makes him feel bad and he does not want to do it but has to. This quote shows just one aspect of war on soldier. Meaning that in war a lot of unconscious stuffs are done by soldiers. The quote also foreshadowing what might happen to the author's dog.

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.

One subculture within the United States is that of the US Army. The Army defends the nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic. It is an exclusive group since not everyone in the country serves in the Army.

The 143rd PA Volunteer regiment known as the "Bucktail Regiment" is one of Pennsylvania's most well-known Civil War units. The regiment obtained their famous nickname of "Bucktails" before they began their service in the Union army. For some unknown reason, recruit James Landregan removed the tail of a whitetail deer he slew, and affixed

Frequent deployments and changing times created a distraction in the Professional aspect of the Army. The distraction created a deficiency in maintaining the highest standards of the Profession of Arms. In an effort to refine their understanding of the Army Profession, the Secretary of the Army and the Army Chief of Staff directed that a review of the Army Profession be conducted, thus the creation of the Profession of Arms Campaign.

There are many reasons why a soldier should follow the orders they are given and every single one is important. An order is a tasking given to a soldier of something that needs to be done in a timely and efficient manner. The three main reasons why it is important for a soldier to follow the orders they are given is to be combat effective, disciplined, and to just be a good soldier. When a soldier doesn't follow the orders they are given in not only hurts themselfs but it hurts the team and the goals of the mission. When the mission objectives are hurt by not following orders this weakens everything that is necessary to win the war.

Webster’s dictionary defines the word profession as a type of job that requires special education, training, or skill. Many Soldiers would not consider the Army as a profession but a way of life. Some think the word profession belongs to everyday jobs like a plumber, mechanic, or doctor. Dr. Don M. Snider stated “the Army is a profession because of the expert work it produces, because the people in the Army develop themselves to be professionals, and because the Army certifies them as such” (Snider, D. M. 2008). In October 2010, the Secretary of the Army directed the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) to lead an Army wide assessment of the state of the Army Profession. We have been at war as a Country for over a decade and the Army

Not too long after the unit was sent to Virginia and then sent overseas to fight in many different places like North Africa, Licata, Sicily, Salerno, Italy, Anzio, Southern France, Germany, and Austria. The battles that the unit fought were some of the greatest and most gruesome battles in World War 2 taking out hundreds of nazis at a time and providing safety to the victims. All of the men who were part of this unit were brave, strong and willing to risk their lives to save others.

Special Forces soldiers work in foreign lands with situations which are not always completely clear from its beginning. The Special Operation Imperatives serve as the base for success by providing the framework to develop and assist the host nation in achieving their desired goals. Through this essay I will use the novel “The Ugly American” (William J. Lederer & Eugene Burdick) to provide context to the benefits of applying such imperatives and the consequences of improper application. I will bring to light the actions of the characters and depict the reasons why the application of the imperative made the character succeed or fail in his desired goal.

A Profession of Arms. It is a title that the United States Army currently holds. A Profession that is uniquely separates us based on the lethality of our weapons and operations. Many factors are involved that make what we do in the Army a Profession and not just a job or an occupation. To maintain this idea that what we do is a Profession takes understanding what a Profession is, a tenuous balance by leadership and the culture of the professionals within. As a Human Resource Sergeants, we do not carry the Arms that grant us our lethality, yet we still have a vital role within this Profession of Arms.

The first military establishment was formed before the United States was officially declared a country for the purpose of meeting the needs of the colonists during the American Revolution. The Army’s mission is to fight and win the Nation’s wars by providing prompt, sustained land dominance across a full range of military operations. Although the history of the United States Army is deeply rooted in the country’s history, the implementation of the United States Special Forces Operations Unit is fairly young having been established in May 1952 yet unannounced to the public until 1954. In an effort to uphold the Army’s mission, the Special Forces Operations Unit was initially formed to assist with
