United States Navy, Military, And North Carolina Army National Guard

The purpose of this paper is to address how I, SSG Schumacher, have identified Major Robert Rogers as a legacy leader and a leader of influence in my military career as a non-commissioned officer and member of the military intelligence community. This paper will cover three main topics in which I will first discuss a brief history of the life of Major Rogers. Then, his impact on the evolution of warfare and leadership attributes on the United States Army. Finally, I will discuss how his leadership attributes led to him making an impact on the military today and Soldiers such as myself.

The Pennsylvania Army National Guard is a branch of the United States Army that is mostly used today for homeland security. Although the National Guard is not active like the Reserves or Active Duty Army, they still have the same requirements and same responsibility. More than 22,000 men and women make up the Pennsylvania National Guard and Air National Guard today. They reach from state quarters at Fort Indian Town Gap in Lebanon County to about 100 comunities in the commonwealth. Like all National Guard members they share the same responsibilities. For their federal mission, they are trained and equipped to join the active forces in the time of war or a national emergency. For their

The United States Army National Guard is currently faced with the significant task of helping its troops stay alive not only on the battlefield but also at home. Since 2011, the Army National Guard has buried 614 troops who died by their own hand. These men and women have come from every state and territory across the Unites States with the exception of the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands. States such as Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Minnesota have suffered the most loss with each state losing 29 people to suicide. These deaths are not on the battle fields of Afghanistan or Iraq. In fact, the combat deaths during the exact same time frame for Army National Guard troops only adds up to 447.

Given constrained funding and the requirements of short-term national military objectives and longer term operations, the Army should balance the Total Force as follows: first, decrease the Active Component deployments and increase the Reserve Component, specifically the National Guard. Second, assign National Guard units to specific regions and/or missions so that their training can be focused on these conflicts. And third, increase the use of National Guard units to reduce active component use particularly for low-intensity conflict and short term missions.

In order to gain a thorough understanding of Operation Eagle Claw, it is imperative to account for the historical context which governed the military at the time. Induced by public opinion and the economic state of the United States proceeding the Vietnam War, dramatic reductions in appropriations and personnel plagued the Department of Defense. Consequently, in the midst of the Iranian Hostage Crisis, the United States military was labeled as a “hollow force;” the cuts made to federal defense spending compromised the capabilities of most components of the military including the Special Operation Force, which proved to be critical to the rescue mission. Considering the unsatisfactory state of readiness, the disastrous conclusion of Operation Eagle Claw was inevitable. However, despite its tactical shortcomings, the operation has left a reclusive legacy as a constructive failure that catalyzed improvements to future implementations of Joint Task Forces in special operations.

This has been truly a very busy and the most demanding year as an Officer and Soldier in the SC National Guard due to the density and size of each exercises and events.

While the brigade continued to combat the global war on terrorism the Soldiers within the organization continued to demonstrate exceptional meritorious service in Afghanistan, during Operation Enduring Freedom. While assigned to multiple locations in combat theatre, the Soldiers in the brigade contributed full spectrum aviation support to the overall successful accomplishment of the Regional Command West and International Security Assistant Forces; once again, earning the brigade another Meritorious Unit Citation (Army, U.S. Army Center of Military History, 2013).

SSG Crespo served as part of the 39th Security Forces Squadron Joint Contingency Force responsible for security for Incirlik AFB during Force Protection Condition Delta during Operation Inherent Resolve. He led a security element of over 60 Air Force and 35 Army personnel that directly enable the safe evacuation of 670 families within 62 hours time-frame during an ordered of departure given by the State Department and Secretary of Defense. He also led the security for North Atlantic Treaty Organization weapons valued at $18 billion.

The United States Armed Forces was founded in 1775. As of December 2013, 40 million men and women have served in the US Military (McGaugh). While a lot has changed over those years, and improvements have been made, it’s not hard to see that our service members are clearly undervalued. The men and women who serve our country risk their lives every day, and a large number never return home. Those who do return home often deal with physical and psychological challenges. It’s our job as a country to make sure these men and women are getting all that they deserve.

As the skipper of a vessel you have many responsibilities to reckon with, such as the safety of the crew, the vessel's seaworthiness, weather, currents, navigation, attentiveness to other vessels and the appropriate operation of the boat. But, boating can be fun, safe and rewarding if you take time to learn how to safely operate your boat, and follow the rules. Learning the requisite laws and regulations is a good starting point. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) distributes a publication call Navigation Rules: International - Inland. This publication, which can be ordered or downloaded from the USCG website, is also referred to as the navigational "Rules of the Road" or "Coloregs". These regulations apply to vessels operating on international and inland waters, and include the rules

The reason the Aviation Brigade is above and beyond any other Aviation Brigade is the result of steadfast leadership from Commanders, Staff Officers, Technical experts (Warrant Officers), and most important the dynamic Enlisted Corp!
