Unit 3 Deployment

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the real world consequences of when Army leaders become complacent dealing with foreign national soldiers, and the day to day operations while in a combat theatre. To gather lessons learned from the example discussed in order to lower the probability of a reoccurrence among the force. Through the example demonstrate the need for Army leaders to constantly fight against complacency, and the extreme importance that leaders know their soldiers, and place their soldiers’ needs before their own. The scenario discussed was a real incident that took place in Iraq in 2009, at a Coalition Outpost (COP) approximately 30 kilometers south of Mosul, in a city called Hammam al-Alil.

When I went on mobilization to Fort Lewis, Washington and left my son in the care of my parents, I thought my parental duties would be set aside until I returned home. Unfortunately, the soldiers of 351st Ordnance Company would prove me wrong with their excessive alcohol consumption, commonly term “binge drinking,” and destructive behaviors. I would then spend the next year sharing the responsibility with four other junior noncommission officers in the task of taking care of soldiers. Despite the efforts of myself and the others we were not fully prepared to handle some of the outrageous events and lack of engagement from the leadership that would challenge us during the tour. My abilities as a junior noncommission officer and the understanding of leadership were redefined and I learned exactly what it meant to ensure soldiers have proper guidance, leadership, positive morale, and well-being.

Arriving in October 2005, the entire campaign units were struggling throughout with being over-tasked and under-staffed, and 1st platoon was a major victim of this occurrence. Relieving the 48th Infantry Brigade, who had no relations with the locals and very little presence in the AO, they had to reestablish control of the area around FOB Yusufiyah. With terrible living conditions and little to no equipment, the platoon had to juggle improving their fighting positions while at the same time secure the JSB and the AVLB. The company TOC had no kitchen to cook food nor any running water. Soldiers would fill sand bags from sun up to sun down trying to provide themselves with some sort of cover against attacks. The PSG Miller would request supplies constantly, but it seemed a low priority of the the higher command. This was a common theme throughout the time they were in the triangle of death. It wasn't often that officers would visit the FOB or provide supplies to enhance their situation, but when they did it was not a welcomed response. Kunk would come by and tell the soldiers how undisciplined and how little work they had completed with little consideration of how hard the soldiers had been working with the limited resources.

Over the next year, they intend to deploy the Singularity method as well as a small set of applications in to the homes of about 50 researchers as a home service appliance. Our check deployment will target non-traditional applications, in particular, applications where the service appliance hosts services provided & managed by multiple third parties. A key aim of the deployment is to measure dependability of the current architecture & to experiment with the application abstraction to automate method

In September 2009, I checked into my first command, eager to learn and ready to work. Unfortunately, my command was a shore command, meaning the command did not deploy people. Fortunately, my department arranged for my temporary attachment to a command that did deploy, a maritime security squadron whose mission was to protect US and Coalition warships as they transited in and out of port in Jebel Ali, United Arab Emirates. I was deployed from April to November of 2010, living in Dubai and working at Jebel Ali. During that seven months, This deployment was the steepest learning curve I had experienced in my life to that point. I learned about waterborne tactics, Iran’s Naval power, and extremist groups operating in the Arabian Gulf. This was especially relevant when an al-Qaeda aligned group, Abdullah Azzam Brigades, attacked an oil tanker transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Our unit was responsible for making initial reports on the damaged tanker when it limped into port.

Because the first deployment model can cause network slowdowns and affect the normal workflow, it doesn’t make a viable solution. The other deployments models, build in WIPS functionality in the access points and WIPS with dedicated sensors are more common, if not the most widely used and that why it will be my main focus for the analysis.

Deceased philosopher Bertrand Russell once said, “War does not determine who is right- only who is left”. Those left are the soldiers of the 1-502nd, specifically Bravo Company 1st plt, and the Janabi family and to a greater extent, the ever-changing global world we all live in today. The tragic events that conspired in a small Iraqi village became a microcosm of how leadership failures at every level shaped the actions of a few soldiers who committed atrocious acts. One can also see how a high operational tempo, along with prolonged violence and death, has on a person’s psyche. It is the ugly side of war that the average American citizen may not want to hear or talk about. For a soldier, it is inevitably what they train their

Operation Swarmer is one of many important operations/Air-Assault missions in 101st Airborne Division history. I had the pleasure serving in Iraq during this operation OIF lll, and had the pleasure of flying 10-hour days for seven days straight. Even with the long hours and lack of sleep, I feel that we accomplished what we came to do. With me being a young crewmember, I did not fully understand what our mission was, besides flying in troopers to landing zones in the middle of no were. It was not until one of the Infantry Platoon Sergeants asked me if I would like to go with and perform a search. After

Because Web servers are one of the few system components on a target network that typically communicates with third parties, they are frequently the targets of malicious attacks by intruders. Intruders can easily launch automated attacks against thousands of systems simultaneously to identify the relatively few vulnerable systems.

Ever since I joined the Marine Corps, I couldn’t wait to do my first deployment located in the combat zone. I have deployed once before, in 2013 where I was stationed in Rota, Spain but it felt more like a vacation than an actual deployment. Having to listen to everyone else talk about being in the dirt, the real action, those stories represent all that I signed up for as an infantryman. I had put my name down for every deployment once I arrived at my new command, I asked for recommendations and nagged people to no end. When I finally got picked up for deployment to the Middle East, my excitement was unexplainable,

KC1.1: Sasria is not automated, therefore the brokers must request or include Sasria on the application communication to Chubb.

Fort Bliss, Texas, 2003 5-52 Air Defense Battalion prepared to depart for their one year tour to Iraq. 5-52’s main objective to support the initial invasion of Iraq by providing protection to the invading U.S. ground forces from airborne threats. The Patriot Air Defense System is seen as the perfect weapon system for the job and 5-52 as the best battalion to man it. 5-52 arrives in Iraq in March, 19, 2003 with five Patriot battery’s, they were quickly split into two separate teams, Alpha, Bravo, and Echo Battery are tasked to provide forward coverage force that would move with the allied ground forces. Charlie and Delta are attached to the 32nd AAMDC and is to remain in Kuwait to defend the city and all military assets in the area.

The toll of war on my unit was not something that I thought about until I was well into redeployment. I remember vividly the redeployment ceremony and all of the new gold star families that were standing on the bottom of the bleachers. The brigade commander began to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and I lost it. I watched how lost and torn apart those spouses, children, and parents were with their now incomplete family. Furthermore, they endured a grueling and at times hopeless twelve months of uncertainty and emotion, only to endure a total loss of love for the remainder of their lives. During the wounded warrior walk, after the ceremony I cheered on platoon, after platoon of amputees who were making their way through the

I will begin with a little background and a description of the environment. When I arrived at Sheppard AFB, I was a senior captain, and I was selected as the H-flight commander. This flight had 7 Instructor Pilots (IPs) and 13 Student Pilots (SPs). My job “on paper” was to ensure the SPs

I will start with one of my personal experiences when I was in Iraq for my first deployment with the Army. It was another typical end of a twelve-hour mission. The sky still had that orange glow that came from the sunset and collection of sand in the atmosphere. There were the typical two soldiers up in the tower, one of them yelled down at gate control that a convoy was coming in; it was nice knowing they were paying attention. Once inside the Combat Operation Base, my driver parked the Mine-Resistant Ambush Protect vehicles (MRAP) next to the other MRAPs. While he started his after mission maintenance by checking all fluids and cleaning out the air filters on our MRAP, I started dismounting the M240 machine gun and shutting down all radios. Still standing in my gunners’ hole, which is on the top of the MRAP, as I waited for the radios to finish shutting down, I start to hear that religious music that always seems to play around this time of night. That music always seems to soothe me into sleep. This reminds me of how late it was
