The 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team (4ABCT) proud tradition of excellence throughout its history took a turn for the worse with its recent deployment and redeployment issues from Afghanistan. An organizational change within 4ABCT is paramount in order to return to its storied heritage of excellence by being a contributing member of the division. In order to complete the change from its current state to a well-respected unit, I would execute a blended version of the seven-step vision process…
I believe that the 4th ABCT climate is toxic and only getting worse. There are many instances where leaders did not work as a team. There were times where leaders used coercion, intimidation, and other unscrupulous tactics to garner compliance from Soldiers. Leaders feel as if independent thinking is discouraged.

The 761st Tank Battalion was formed in the spring of 1942 and was the essential African American tank unit to see fight in the Second World War. Telling this regiment was a white Lt. Colonel, Paul L. Bates. As the unit fell under the examination of other white officers who were distrustful of blacks as warriors and especially as tankers, Bates pushed the 761st in its main goal for splendor. The 761st was suggested as the "mutt" unforeseen which inferred the power, similarly as other white…
This essay will argue that in both Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained hereby referred to as Django and Zane Gray’s The Lone Star Ranger, hereby referred to as Lone Star violence exists due to inept law enforcement. While there are differences in the medium, the violence within them is significant due to how central it is in these works. Moreover, Lone Star depicts violence as it should be for the cowboy or outlaw hero, while Django demonstrates violence as it is in reality, messy and full of…
