    During my time in the Army, I have had plenty of obstacles, one in particular would be when I was a RTO (radio tech operator) and we were attached to another battalion to go raid a village. We patrolled all night until we walked twelve miles to our location avoiding helicopters flying in the sky looking for us. Once we finally set up an OP (observation post) we had a team go out and recon the village and we established a plan on how we were going to attack the village.

However, as we started creeping up to the first obstacle, a fence, helicopters started patrolling for us again.…

    I believe the best way to start this paper is to first discuss what accountability really is, and then to go into how the different types of accountability should affect us in the Marine Corps. The two primary types of accountability are administrative and moral, good examples of both can be found in one scenario. Marine A is forward deployed, and is supposed to relieve Marine B who is pulling security for a twelve hour shift. Marine A is not only administratively accountable for the shift change because it was a lawful order, but he is also morally accountable for it, because he knows that leaving Marine B on shift for longer than 12 hours could raise the chances of him falling asleep, endangering not only Marine B, but the rest of the…
