    Mission Command Research Paper

    Analysis Of The Warrior Ethos

    Although the book is admittedly brief, it makes its points concisely and effectively without being overly wordy or rambling. Much of the ideology that The Warrior Ethos discusses is familiar to Marines as it runs parallel to a large majority of training that Marines encountered throughout boot camp with emphasis put on honor and commitment to a cause, as well as courage in the face of hardships and death. In reading this book many Marines will be familiar with the warrior ethos and what it entails, although perhaps some of the historical context of such an ethos may not be common knowledge to many individuals. In exploring the background of this ethos and explaining how it has been used by many armies for centuries, the reader can better understand how this ethos can be applied to real-life and see examples in which this ethos was implemented and lived-out day-to-day by warriors throughout history. The short stories of historical figures such as King Leonidas and Alexander the Great can also provide some inspiration and motivation for young Marines looking for role models or characters on which to model themselves, and may even drive some Marines to conduct their own further research into the history of warriors and warfare.…

    Leadership Reflection: The Marine Corps Planning Process

    At some point, every leader probably thinks about how they want to lead and what is important to him or her as a leader. During the CSC coursework, I wrote my command philosophy, which gave me an opportunity to reflect on past leaders I had encountered, and project how I wanted to lead in the future. The command philosophy was a statement, written to the members of the unit, about what I valued as a leader. As a foundation for how to approach this philosophy, the CSC coursework described USMC General Lejeune’s teacher/scholar leadership approach (USMC CDET, 2013a). This approach to leadership rests on a foundation of ethics, directly supporting an ethos of core values, mode of conduct, leadership principles, and leadership traits (USMC…

While many might categorize these as normal post deployment occurrences, they appear to run much deeper. The events of the previous deployment coupled with the death of the Brigade Commander, Brigade Sergeant Major and a Battalion Commander appear to be the critical events that triggered the downward slide of the Brigade.…
