With German forces on the run following the Allied success at Normandy and the breakout and pursuit across France, Allied forces were staged to enter Germany in late summer 1944. Both Field Marshal Montgomery and General Bradley clamored to be given the priority of effort. General Eisenhower chose Montgomery’s Operation MARKET GARDEN as the plan for action. It called for airborne forces to open the route for a ground force to move more than sixty miles up a single road, ending up north of the Rhine River near Arnhem, Netherlands. By accomplishing this task, the German Ruhr industrial heartland would be within easy grasp. But the operation failed. The ground force

No matter if you stay in for one enlistment or two, the depth of the Marine Corps is unknown so knowledge will continuously flow and it is endless. All Marines get taught the basics of being a leader in entry level training, but only a few can react to help form their trait into an elite skill only for them. In order to become the elite you have to build a "Foundation of Values" (pg.31) so that respect in all aspects will become evident between the followers and their leader(s). While setting the example it does not matter what rank you are, you still show that the standards that you hold will reflect on who you are as a person and a Marine. Each Marine chooses how their standards and ways will become beneficial not only to the Marine Corps, but to themselves also. Why do ethics make conducting a moment of decision making so hard? At some point and time every Marine will come to a point in their career or life where the grey area will be the path they choose, but will not think that it is the right way. Moral and ethic dilemmas are common more and more each day. Every Marine is taught to be the toughest both physically, and mentally.

NonCommissioned Officers are the backbone of the Marine Corps.   Each leader is very different from the other.   Some Marines enjoy being a corporal only because of the increase in rank and pay.   A few become the tactless leaders junior Marines try to avoid.   Fortunately, many others strive to become the leader that other Marines wish to emulate.   They know what it means to be a good leader.   Those Marines have the traits of a leader and they get to know their Marines

Being late does not make one important. Tardiness is a very unattractive quality when it comes to most aspects of one’s life: family functions, meetings, interviews, and especially a job. While a family may forgive tardiness, a job will not. Being late once or twice in one’s life is unavoidable. Being consistently tardy makes one unreliable and shows a lack of respect for other people’s time and obligations. Being late tells others that one person can be waited on, while everyone else can’t. People do not like when their feelings were not taken into consideration, when they took the time to consider others.

Operation Safety Net is a local program for the city of Pittsburgh that strives to better the lives of individuals who are homeless. As described on the program’s website, Operation Safety Net provides its consumers with necessary health care and an increase of hope and self-esteem (Operation Safety Net, 2015). This program has proven to help close the critical health inequity of homeless individuals living without healthcare. Healthy People 2020 define a health disparity as, “a particular type of health difference that is closely linked with social, economic, and/or environmental disadvantage.” (Disparities, para 6, 2015). This includes individuals having access to safe housing, culturally aware health care professionals and the opportunity to have health insurance. Therefore, there is a clear rationale for the Operation Safety Net program to be assisting people in Pittsburgh experiencing these inequities.

Accountability (noun) Being responsible or liable for someone or something at the state of event and or situation.

The Battle of Antietam could have been a devastating and fatal blow to the Confederate Army if Gen. McClellan acted decisively, took calculated risks, and veered away from his cautious approach to war. There are many instances leading up to the battle and during the battle in which he lacks the necessary offensive initiative to effectively cripple and ultimately win the war. This paper is intended to articulate the failure of Mission Command by GEN McClellan by pointing out how he failed to understand, visualize, describe and direct the battlefield to his benefit.

In late June 1863, Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia passed through western Maryland and invaded Pennsylvania. General Lee believed that by invading the North, he could draw the Union Army of the Potomac away from their defenses and force them to come after him. He also assumed the people of the North would be so demoralized if the Union were to lose another major battle, especially if it was fought on Northern soil, that President Abraham Lincoln would be forced to negotiate a settlement of the Civil War. On 01 July 1863, then Colonel Joshua Chamberlain, and his 20th Maine received word to begin movement to

On August 2nd, 1990 Iraqi military forces invaded and occupied the small Arab state of Kuwait. The order was given by Iraqi dictatorial president Saddam Hussein. His aim was apparently to take control Kuwait's oil reserves (despite its small size Kuwait is a huge oil producer; it has about 10 per cent of the world's oil reserves ). Iraq accused Kuwait, and also the United Arab Emirates, of breaking agreements that limit oil production in the Middle East. According to Saddam Hussein, this brought down world oil prices severely and caused financial loss of billions of dollars in Iraq's annual revenue.

Operation Urgent Fury was a response by the U.S. government to the socio-political situation happening at the time on the island of Grenada. Due to anti-government upheaval, a growing communist presence in the area and a significant number of Americans on the island, the Reagan administration felt the need to intervene with military force to normalize the situation. Operation Urgent Fury could have been more successful if U.S. forces had sufficient intelligence to include enemy disposition, adequate maps and known locations of all the U.S. medical students located on and outside of the campus St. George’s University Medical

Intelligence, as defined by the Oxford Dictionary is “the collection of information of military or political value.” Intelligence was a vital asset in war effort of both the Allies and Axis powers during World War II. The collection and manipulation of intelligence by the British during the Second World War aided the Allies in their victory over Germany and the rest of the Axis powers. Intelligence collection takes several forms and intelligence collected had a variety of purposes. An examination of the different forms of collection and uses of intelligence will highlight their role in aiding the Allies be victorious over the Axis powers.

Imagine one day that foreign threats become such a problem to the security of our country that we couldn’t leave the house without fearing for the safety of yourself. Terrorism is a real issue that is growing every day and should be something that should be stopped and not encouraged Everyday countries are home to terrorist attacks and oppression. It’s up to us as a super power to protect these people. Why not beat the problem at its source instead of letting it spread out into other countries and hurting other innocent people. The U.S. should not end military operations overseas because many of the countries overseas harbor terrorists that want to take down our country, they don’t have a strong form of government that is reliable and useable, and the people in those countries can’t defend themselves from the enemy regimes without our help.

Have you been confused by language often used outside of your community? Communities are not the same in such aspects. All may communicate different to reach a certain goal. As an OPS1 (Operations Specialist 1) at Birmingham Shuttlesworth Airport, my team and I, are to handle all airport operations to and through security checkpoints, and customer service assist. In my community our terms are often misinterpreted. We have a transportation system that is quite different than others. Also, our security is taken seriously for the safety of our customers and pilots. In my community, as an Operation Specialist 1, we communicate by using different terms, also through transportation, and our relentless security system.

On September 10th 2001 a cold front swept through the East Coast with rain and thunderstorms that would leave behind a cool clear morning on September 11, 2001. That morning started as normally as any other Tuesday of the year. The sun shined and the birds were singing. Children headed for school, as adults set out for work. There was no foreshadowing or any warning of what was to come. The morning routine of a bustling New York City was well into a rhythm, when the world that Americans knew, was brought to its knees, and would forever be changed.

The management of resources which produces and delivers products and services is operation management. The part of an organization that is responsible for this activity is the operation function. And the people responsible for managing some or all of the resources which makes up the operations function are known as operation managers. It is worth noting that in some organization the operations manager might be called by other name (Morton 1999). In this work I have selected the private sector services, quality issues, roles of an operation manager and operation performance using the Co-operative foods.
