the U.S. Coast Guard must implement a service wide physical fitness assessment. As I advanced in rank, I was told that I should model the way in all aspects including physical fitness. If the Coast Guard was to implement a mandatory physical fitness standard service wide it would see that, the Coast Guard would become healthier as a service, fewer members would have to worry about passing their weight standards, and it would unify the service as a whole. As of right now the Coast Guard doesn’t have
implemented while improving and/or accounting for specific aspects such as mission needs, service needs, and people needs as presented within the USCG Human Capital Strategy (see United States Coast Guard - Human Capital Strategy 4-5). From the perspective of meeting mission needs (see United States Coast Guard - Human Capital Strategy 17), building workforce proficiency is an ever-present challenge. Many small-to-moderate-sized ESDs are allotted 1 or 2 reserve billets, for example you may have a single
usually associated with VTS. Next, this writing will discuss the specific services that VTS uses in its methods and principles. The following section will discuss the training and qualifications that are mandated with most VTS systems. Finally a case study of an accident associated with VTS will be discussed to highlight the importance of this base of knowledge and its practical applicability to real world situations. Purpose of the VTS According to the IALA " at its simplest, the main objectives
Mahalia Gauld January 18, 2011 MGMT 2850 Case Study #1- Exxon Valdez Situation in Brief: On March 24, 1989, an Exxon supertanker spilled 11 million gallons of oil while traveling through the pristine waters of Alaska’s Prince William Sound. The consequences of this spill were detrimental and continue to affect life today. The oil spill killed thousands of wildlife, extensively damaged a portion of the beautiful Alaskan environment, and eventually affected the economy to global proportions
This is the third case study on Japan-Taiwan relations and it will examine the bilateral fisheries agreement. This case study chapter will examine the following questions below. Firstly, what is the fisheries policy for Japan in traditional sense? Secondly, what is the fisheries agreement in the context of Japan-Taiwan relations and how it is unique and different from other cases of the fisheries agreements in the East China Sea? Thirdly, it will examine the Peaceful yet Strategic Weaponization
Few Americans are aware of the profound impact Alexander Hamilton had on our nation’s development with his creation of multiple, important institutions. Hamilton, a true Founding Father of our nation, is primarily accountable for the design and establishment of Federal institutions, especially for the financial system which helped form the states into a nation. These creations of his helped put this nation on its path toward an industrial economy. Hamilton wanted a manufacturing economy founded
There are over two million people serving in the US military today. Of those approximately two thirds of them serve on active duty, while the remaining one third serve in some component of either the state or federal reserves. A case study was conducted to see what the relationship between active duty and reservist mental health and stress levels were, and the difference between deployed and non-deployed service members. They questioned 18342 reservist and 16146 active component service members
of 87 days. This spill can be considered one of the most detrimental environmental disasters in American history. Only about 25% of the oil was accounted for, leaving somewhere around 3.75 million barrels of oil in surrounding ecosystems. In this study, researchers focused on determining the thresholds of marsh resilience near the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. It is important to identify ecosystem stress thresholds to prevent these ecosystems from experiencing stress thresholds that exceed their resilience
(or confirmation of what they think they are supposed to do) in their jobs or positions. The operative word here is ‘do’. They typically do not want to know what they are supposed to ‘be’. This simple representation of leadership requirements helps us establish a context for evaluating leadership competencies and frameworks/models. Those that are stated only as traits, characteristics, or in attribute terms are, in our estimation, less valuable than those that are stated in task, function, and behavioral
New Orleans was originally founded on high ground overlooking the Mississippi River, above sea level. Also surrounded by Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne, New Orleans was susceptible to hurricanes that would come up the coast into the Gulf. Originally New Orleans was naturally protected by “coastal swamps that helped absorb the energy of storm surges before they reached dry land.” (Stillman 228) At this point Americans were more concerned with the floods that happened annually from the Mississippi
