foundationally strong for the overall success of the mission. Community Relations Specialists, Rebecca Larson, said that an After-Action Report from an exercise in 2016 identified several improvements for communication including topics of incident command, resource lists, off-site communication, quicker…

Before I knew it, there were only three months left in my assignment to the PI. Sometimes, I felt like I was there forever; yet every day seemed to provide a new adventure or discovery. We lined up for guardmount like any other shift when I received my Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders. The flight chief was conducting roll call and when he got to my name, I responded as usual with my assigned post, “Nighthawk 13.” Then I was ordered, “Front and Center.” I proceeded to the front of the…

The divine command theory is the belief of what is right is a matter of God’s will, this theory beliefs in the central idea that God’s will is important to morality. In addition to this, the divine command theory believes that what is morally right is commanded by God and what is morally wrong is also commanded by God, which therefore means that morality depends on religion. Furthermore, the divine command theory is a meta ethical view about what makes a moral claim, recognising that God’s will…

In this essay, I have decided to explain and evaluate the divine command theory (DCT). The divine command theory focuses on the conception that God’s commandments are the foundation of ethical choices (Holt, T 2008). The theory states that whatsoever God wills as moral is moral and what God forbids is immoral. (Rachels, J., S 2007). The theory is very clear on its views in that if you want to know if something is moral go to God those that live by this theory look to religious book such as the…

God 's Call, by John E. Hare, is based on three lectures Hare gave at Calvin College in which he presents and defends his version of Divine Command Theory. The books is separated into three essays. The first essay gives the historical context of Hare 's theory. In the second Hare lays out his theory. In the third he defends his theory, and compares it to his understanding of Kant 's theory of ethics. Hare argues that the history of moral philosophy is a story of compromise. There exist two…

successful, many suggest everyone should adopt the ICS for emergencies (David A. Desrosiers, 2012). However, with success also comes failures. Some of the failures, or challenges with the Pentagon attack was the lack of knowledge of the incident command post for other units, or individuals who responded to help. In addition, to the lack of knowledge there was insufficient medical supplies for the long haul. Many hospitals lacked the medical supplies needed to maintain to fulfill the patients…

The ICS (Incident Command System) originally named Field Command Operations System, was a concept formed in 1968 at a meeting called Fire of Chiefs in Phoenix, Arizona. The program was primarily built to model the management hierarchy of the United States Navy used mainly for fighting wild fires in California and Arizona during the 1970’s. ICS was fully developed during suppression efforts of California’s catastrophic wild fire disaster that caused millions of dollars in damage which also…

If anything god says is to be taken as good and true, then he cannot be wrong. If he cannot be wrong, then there is nothing to make his commands right either. For example, if a game was created with the rule that a specific person could never lose, it would be meaningless to say that he is good at that game. No matter how many times he won, there would be no skill or wisdom involved as it…

The following is summary of my life after graduation. Right after graduating in 1963 John Callahan (Geibel High School class of 63) and I enlisted in the US Air Force. On the August 20th 1963 we left Connellsville for Lackland Airforce Base in Antonio TX for basic training. He and I ended up spending some of the hottest months of the year in Texas. I can still remember getting off the airplane in San Antonio at 3 AM and being shocked at the heat and humidity (~85 degrees). After our twelve weeks…
