The movie 12 O’clock High was filmed and produced in 1949 directly after World War Two.

For the American soldiers deployed in that area, it lives up to the title granted to it by CNN, “The Deadliest Place on Earth.” On June 5, 2007, B Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 503rd Infantry Regiment took over the duties of the Korengal Valley.

With the proliferation of threats and uncertainty of the security environment, the role of the army has become increasingly central in protecting the American interests. Since the realization of this mission is a collective task, leadership remains the best way to give commanders, at every echelon, the necessary qualities to lead their Soldiers, maintain focus, and preserve a healthy environment to ensure the achievement of objectives. The case of the 4th ABCT presents clear evidence in this area

The book documents the events that led to the ultimate demise of the soldiers involved in the horrific incident that occurred on March 12, 2006.

I am an outsider looking at the organization as an insider due to commanding one of the battalions in 4th ABCT. This strength is also a weakness that can lure me into a false sense of comfort in a time where action is desperately needs. Since my departure the unit has conducted a deployment to Afghanistan and is in the final stage of the reintegration. My brigade is suffering from a lack of mission commitment as a result of several different missions and minimal leadership involvement. In developing

The Bravo Battery 1-14th FA had moved from FSB Mary Ann to LZ Mildred prior to the attack. The commander Captain Conatser was responsible for the counter-mortar program and had not adjusted his defensive targets since the move. He had not visualized the possible locations for an enemy mortar attack in relation to his howitzers locations. If he had thought of the possible enemy mortar firing locations prior to the attack, they could have been more effective with their counter fires. He failed to visualize

Competition amongst the battalions was positively oriented toward the success of the brigade and there was frequent coordination among peers to share information, resources, and lessons learned. Now, after a jaded Afghanistan deployment, it appears that the climate has shifted and the battalions are striving to make themselves distinct from each other and the brigades rather
