Wing Commander

(intro) Imagine this- you look about the window, see gunfire and American citizens walking around in handcuffs. Two of them are cops and another is someone 's grandfather. Military spending affects everyone living in the US, because the nation’s defense is what keeps us safe. Think about this- world threats are rising, and we are an international superpower. The United States need a strong defense, not a cheap one. Although increased military spending could result in more national debt issues, it

President Washington was seated at his desk in the oval office turned and looking out the window thinking about how quickly events were moving and how much control did he really have over them. He had his concerns about the military and if they really needed civilian leadership at this time or was he in the way? Or was he being paranoid? He had a sizeable military force heading his way from Pennsylvania which might be able to topple the current government. His own military was sizing up the situation

increasingly aggressive China, Russia and North Korea. The controversy with remilitarization lies in Japan’s constitution, which forbids Japan from having a military. After WWII, Japan’s wartime atrocities were fresh on the mind of the Supreme Commander of Allied Powers, General Douglas MacArthur. In order to eliminate the possibility of Japan ever taking aggressive military action again, MacArthur and his senior officials wrote a new constitution for Japan, which pursued a number of reforms including

“War is merely the continuation of policy by other means.” Thus, in the sense of Clausewitz, national military objectives have to derive from national policy. The 2015 NMS identifies three National Military Objectives with an integrated approach: “to deter, deny, and defeat state adversaries; to disrupt, degrade, and defeat Violent Extremist Organizations (VEOs); and to strengthen our global network of allies and partners.” The most important lessons for military leaders for achieving these three

Joint Planning Process- Operation Anaconda Today, military action is done as a team, and cooperation is needed between different military departments, commanders, and staff. This calls for a Joint Planning Process. The Joint planning process is the process used by planners of any military action so that they can develop a detailed plan. The joint planning process seeks to identify and mitigate risks on the battlefield and design options for successfully staging a military action. Military achieves

discussing or implementing MILDEC. In addition, these principles serve as a guide when developing plans by providing knowledge based experience (literature/doctrine) and nest authority with legal backing for the Geographical Combatant Commander (GCC) and the Joint Force Commander (JFC) when conducting MILDEC operations. In the following paragraphs, I will illustrate how creative thinking was incorporated through MILDEC into military action which lead to successful operations. Deception operations have been

military. He noted in order to have a thriving military in the twenty-first century we would have to do away with the original command-and-control military design. In the twentieth century command-and-control design the orders came from a designated commander of the assigned force in order to accomplish a mission. However, in Team of Teams: New Rules of Engagement for a Complex World, General McChrystal notes this design must be changed in order for the military to thrive. He then began focusing on

On November 14, 2003, a fire was reported at the Greenhalgh Mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The Pawtucket Fire Department was dispatched to the fire. One of the satellite stations, Cottage Street Fire Station, happened to be directly across the road from the old mill and could see first-hand that the fire was already fully engulfed. This fire rapidly spun out of control, destroying three mill buildings, thirteen homes, and damaging seventeen other structures before being contained. Twenty-one

The mission command activities of lead, direct, and assess are tools that a commander will use to help make decisions, interpret results, and stay up to date on current and future operations. Using this framework during the occupation and rebuilding of the province of Nineveh and its capital city of Mosul, Iraq, General Petraeus kept within his higher commander’s guidance and successfully reestablished basic services and security to the city. After toppling Saddam Hussein’s regime in 2003, Petraeus
