importance of the SHARP program. Army leaders demand their soldiers to internalize the intent of SHARP and those soldiers’ actions are conducive to the overall goal of the Army’s SHARP program. For this assignment, I chose to interview an Army Brigade Combat Team’s (BCT) Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC). The SARC is responsible for ensuring that BCT soldiers/leaders receive mandatory bi-annual training. Secondly, the SARC serves as one (of many) point of contact for a person(s)…

The Union Army entered the war with a strong advantage in artillery. It had ample manufacturing capacity in Northern factories, and it had a well-trained and professional officer corps manning that branch of the service. Brig. Gen. Henry J. Hunt, who was the chief of artillery for the Army of the Potomac for part of the war, was well recognized as a most efficient organizer of artillery forces, and he had few peers in the practice of the sciences of gunnery and logistics.

The Brigade executed our quarterly 5K Run today across the country, with…

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. I also uncovered other tactics like hazing that break down the moral, and welfare of the Soldiers. After completing my assessment of the 4th ABCT I have discovered that significant…
