What is a leader? What does it mean to be a leader in an organization? What are the leader roles and leader actions? These are some of the questions this course has explored. Leaders are not born; they are created by principles of morals, values, beliefs, and most importantly actions.…
The problem statement facing the 4th ABCT: How to train and sustain the 4th ABCT to successfully assume the RAF mission; given a condensed timeline for training, equipping and developing its Soldiers for a deployment rotation to the NTC, so that they can best execute decentralized security operations in uncertain conditions while maintaining combat readiness after assuming the RAF mission. Following Bonnot and Walker’s seven-step process for building an organizational vision, the assessment above summarized in the problem statement above serves as a base understanding that helped guide the What, Why, and How of the initial vision for the 4th ABCT. The initial vision:…
“I still believe that law enforcement is a calling as well as a career or profession. I believe that the work law enforcement people, both officers and other specialists, are called upon to do is a ministry of sorts for the good of society, in general and particularly for those who are vulnerable and innocent.” Terry Mangan (Mangan, T., 2005) Chief Mangan’s approach to organizational change to community policing was always based on the idea of serving others. In researching his life, I discovered that he served in many capacities during his lifetime (he passed away in 2014); first as a clergyman, then later as a police officer and as a Director of Public Safety in California, a Chief of Police in two cities in Washington state, one of them…
Trust is an integral part of any institution, and is the foundation of any relationship and team. A military is a collection of several fighting forces which are often broken down further groups such as: Job roles, Brigades, Battalions, Platoons, sections and fire teams. Within every level of these groups and sub-groups, Trust is a key component on their ability to succeed and achieve their respective missions. In this essay I will discuss the importance of trust from a military perspective, it is important for us as human beings, and its biological ties to the human psyche.…
In cases with planned ERCP, when a considerable localized collection was defined, a radiologically guided drainage was done, while when the collection was large and diffuse, open or laparoscopic drainage was done, either before or after the procedure. For simple bile leak, patients underwent combined endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) plus plastic stent (10F, 9-12 cm), straddling the site of the leak. For patients with bile leak and retained stones, a sphincterotomy, stone removal, and stent insertion was done. For patients with bile leak and duct stricture, dilatation and a plastic stent(s) was done. Repeat ERCP for assessment and stent removal was performed 2-3 months after improvement.…

Transportation in the decisive action and the uncoiling of a heavy division has not be reviewed in depth since 2003. Our Army has marginalized the importance of this critical task for the better part of 15 years. However, Major General Wayne Grigsby, Commanding General of the First Infantry Division, identified the need in understanding how critical the uncoiling process is in the decisive action. 1st ID in preparation for Warfighter Exercise (WFX 16-04), conducted a series of Command Post Exercise’s (CPX) which afforded multiple opportunities for the Division headquarters to work through these problems sets prior to execution.…

The Marine Corps Planning Process offered a methodology for understanding problems, and developing ways to solve them (Headquarters United States Marine Corps [HQ USMC], 2010. This process allows planners to help commanders fully understand the situation in order to make “sound and timely decisions” (HQ USMC, 2010, p. 1-2). The process allows planners to take a broad concept from a decision maker, and develop a detailed plan for execution. The steps of the planning process are problem framing, course of action development, course of action wargaming, course of action comparison and decision, orders development, and transition (HQ USMC,…
Keeping in thought IEP Goals the next question asked of Mrs. Fairchild-Romero was “What are strategies used for ID Students to help them meet their Annual IEP Goals?” She responded that it is key to make the instruction multi-sensory using direct instruction. It is important to make the instruction not one sided. Direct Instruction can be defined as a methodical technique that can be used to teach, practice and reinforce special skills (Cohen & Spenciner, 2009). It is an approach to educating students that it is skills-oriented, and the teaching practices it implies are teacher-directed.…
In the planning phase, a leader receives the mission and creates his or her tentative plan. In the preparation phase, a leader issues the warning order and conducts reconnaissance. Following all of that, the execution phase begins when the complete order is issued. Every step of the Troop Leading Procedures is embedded in the Operations Process and both the Operations Process and the Troop Leading Procedures happen at all levels of command, though they may manifest in different ways; more specifically, larger units adhere to the Operations Process because it has a more broad scope and smaller units use the Troop Leading Procedures. Despite this difference, the fundamental concept of planning, preparing, and executing while constantly assessing and leading can be universally applied in army leadership.…
presented by Hammer and Champy (1994): fundamental, radical and drastic. The drastic and rapid changes that reengineering presupposes do not consider, in a process of change, the current situation of a given company, without considering or considering any kind of participation by the people, contrary to the perspective of sociotechnical change. This is one of the possible criticisms of reengineering. The fact that people do not participate in the process, implies that the exercise of power functions as in a marketing campaign: it is necessary to sell the idea to employees, or that for this emotional manipulation is absolutely necessary.…
The new technologies have integrated many sectors of combat system industries which needs a high level of qualification. Naomi Verdugo and Nehama E. Babin write in “The Impact of Advanced Technology on the U.S. Military”, that it is mandatory to adapt the skills of manpower to the requirements of new technologies. It will demand greater knowledge and more sophisticated skills than are presently. For instance, computer systems and networks remain advanced technology which is used now in the majority of telecommunication systems thus radically changing the profile of the users of these systems from soldiers to operators. This also will generate the need for skilled personnel in the maintenance sector because of the greater sophistication of new systems.…
