    Vacc Case Study Strategic Leadership

    The strategic planning process for a military objective can only go as far as the political objectives will allow. Strategic leaders must have the proper skills to help navigate this new arena. “Powell’s subsequent service under Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger and National Security Advisor Frank Carlucci prepared him well to serve as National Security Advisor to President Reagan during the last two years of Reagan’s second term and then as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President George H.W. Bush. Powell was in the vanguard of a new type of senior officer, once who could transcend and nimbly navigate the military and civilian political worlds much…

    Summary Of Why Has America Stopped Winning Wars By Dominic Tierney

    In his article “Why Has America Stopped Winning Wars,” Dominic Tierney incorrectly asserts that the United States is in a period of unwinnable wars and that, as such, the United States should plan for battlefield failure and “losing the right way. ”1 He uses multiple fallacies to build his argument, including appeals to emotion, appeals to questionable authority, explaining by naming, and searching for a perfect solution. This leads to the conclusion that the US position as a superpower is a weakness in terms of military engagement. This shortsighted position fails to encompass a holistic view that military engagements do not have to rise to the level of total victory to contribute to overall strategy.…

    Joint Force 2020

    The Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, summed up his assessment of the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) in the following statement: “With our “ends” fixed and our “means” declining, it is therefore imperative that we innovate within the “ways” we defend the Nation.” Strategic planning and transition to Joint Force 2020 (JF 2020) in a fiscally constrained environment affords DoD senior leaders the opportunity to be more innovative than ever before in assessing and mitigating risks to effectively confront a multitude of increasingly multifaceted security challenges. In the long run, a leaner, agile, adaptable, interoperable, and technologically sophisticated JF 2020 is necessary for the Combatant Commanders to…

    Iron Triangles

    C. The United States Department of Defense will faces an abundance of new and risky challenges with regards to the execution of the National Military Strategy within the next 5-10 years. Several specific factors help to highlight this. Those are the Budget Control Act of 2011, changes in the external world of the pentagon, existence of the iron triangle, the current climate of the defense industrial base, and the historical execution track record of the acquisition and deployment of major weapons systems. The Budget Control Act of 2011 and sequestration have set the stage for many of these struggles. The act was created in order to raise the debt ceiling that had been brought on thanks to the economic crisis of 2008-2009.…

    War Termination Argument Analysis

    Roger Spiller outlined six propositions in his essay, “War Termination: Theory and American Practice." and this paper will select two of those propositions and two airpower capabilities per proposition to explain how they can contribute to ensuring war termination in accordance with national interests. The first proposition I selected is: “In every war, the aims of all sides, no matter how opposed at the beginning, gradually converge toward an agreement to stop fighting.” This proposition is stating that war is not an end to itself and the goal of, at least most, people is to not make war.…

    During the past decade of war, we as soldiers have seen numerous styles of leadership and command. These leadership styles have been the result of mission commands reactive measures to best adapt to the operational environments currently face. Ongoing operations in Afghanistan and again in Iraq have been complex, involving constant interactions between civilians, enemy organizations, and friendly forces as well as interaction with other factors which affect the mission such as terrain, time, and local political dynamics. While on the battlefield, many commanders face challenges with making immediate decisions that drive and or turn the tides of conflict at the tactical and operational level.

    The Operations Process And Troop Leading Procedures

    When I was assigned the Patrol Base Operations and PCC/PCI lab, I noticed first hand exactly how vital planning is to an entire operation. Everything had to be discussed at length, written down, revised, rehearsed, and timed. As my partner and I worked through our material we applied the fundamentals of the Operations Process to our assignment. We planned what facilities we would have and what equipment we would use; we prepared a power point presentation for the class and a short skit to perform; and we rehearsed for hours on end. Despite all our efforts, unforeseen circumstances still arose and adaptations had to be made.…

    Separate But Equal Essay

    Separate but Equal Plessy v. Ferguson was the first case to justify segregation using the ‘separate but equal’ doctrine. The Supreme Court’s stand on the Brown v the Board of Education case has been appreciated with much significance. To some people it was a sign of the beginning of the civil rights in the 1950s and the 1960s while to others it was an indication of the crumbling of segregation. The Brown decision is a landmark in history as it overturned the legal policies that had been established by the Plessy v. Ferguson decisions that made practices of separate but equal legal. For a long time, civil rights movements in the first fifty years of the 290th century were concurrent with the policy, separate but equal, in efforts to get a grip…
