Ground combat element

The five management functions can be found in any successful organization and is the foundation for achieving the organizations goals. Our text states, “management functions encompass innovative planning, detailed organization, diligent leadership, systematic staffing and finally must possess those abilities that permit the controlling of both human and organizational resources to accomplish a company’s pre-determined objectives. (Baack, Reilly, & Minnich, 2014, p. 1.3) “In this paper I will address

In 1958, as the United States Government sought to reorganize its defense establishment, President Dwight D. Eisenhower argued that “separate ground, sea and air warfare is gone forever. If ever again we should be involved in war, we will fight in all elements, with all services, as one single concentrated effort.” Eisenhower based his assessment on his experiences as Supreme Allied Commander in Europe during World War II, but his insight has had a tremendous influence on the way that the armed

Learning from mistakes in the past is necessary to understand the responsibilities we will soon have. The Battle of Gettysburg shows prime examples of the nine principles of war: Objective, Offensive, Mass, Economy of Force, Maneuver, Unity of Command, Security, Surprise and Simplicity. In the military today, we are overwhelmingly blessed with every asset that we have including

conventional battle lines to an all out street conflict impacts all elements of the armed forces. Traditional and distinct separations in the boundaries that define non-hostile occupations commonly known as “support units” from their “combat arms” counterparts causes problems when those supportive elements encounter hostilities and naturally take measures to defend themselves. Conflict arises when those elements, engaging in combat, have female soldiers, which, is thought to be a violation of the United

first objective in the conflict. Once targets are identified, bombing campaigns could commence from regional Air force bases in the Area of Operations (AO), softening up guerilla forces in advance of the next stage of the military engagement, the ground campaign. Air force tankers such as the HC-130, KC-135 and KC-10 would need to be deployed to offer in flight air refueling for the F-15, F-16, F-22 and A-10’s departing from regional Air force bases. The Air Force also

In addition to the confinement and high altitude of the HLZ, your aircraft is loaded to its maximum capacity; with a crew of four plus 12 fully loaded combat troops. Furthermore, the moon illumination is steadily decreasing, and by H-hour the backdrop has crossed into a dark sea of incomprehensible pictures. At this point, you have just check marked the four death inducing factors of flying in Afghanistan:

The Soldiers of Alpha Battery, 80th AAA Battalion adapted to their constant environment and altered their specialty. Once they arrived in Ardennes, the unit’s mission changed from Anti-Aircraft, to supporting ground units with 57mm anti-tank gun. These Soldiers were Anti-Aircraft by trade, but adapted their skills to make an impact where they were the most needed. Modern day Air Defense Artillery adapts much in the same way. The ever changing world calls for

Secretary Ashton Carter removed a formal ban forbidding women from serve in direct combat roles. But is this a move that strengthens equality among those who serve our country, or is it merely an illusion of equality that weakens our military. This is the question we will attempt to answer. Let us first examine whether this act truly does create equality in the military. Women have been prevented from participating in combat roles since 1948. This act without a doubt puts women on a more equal shelf with

Afghanistan. The mission began on March 2, 2001 and ended on March 16, 2001. A “hammer and anvil” attack, with 600 American and 400 Afghan troops, would rout, capture, or kill enemy forces. The operational timeline for a three-day battle projecting light combat took fourteen days to complete. During Operation Anaconda, Unity of Command planning did not fully anticipate the need for additional forces, inducing a stall in operations on the battlefield, and negating a timely victory. Anticipation of Additional

Profoundly influenced by two post-9/11 protracted wars that highlighted the expanded role of women in combat, civilian leaders have opted to pursue a gender neutral military apparently on the grounds that integrating women in direct ground combat arms roles is both essential and prudent. Central to the rhetoric is that women are not only qualified, but that they bring a wealth of diverse talents that they should be able to apply across all disciplines within the Armed Forces and in turn, be afforded
