Lebanese Armed Forces

recognized the color of the water around him and knew he was in the sea off Beirut. A dead body was floating beside him, apparently the object that had been smothering him. Several other people were flailing around in the water beside him, and nearby, an armored car belonging to the Lebanese army was sinking beneath the waves. Looking towards the shore, Soheil saw a black mushroom cloud with fire in its center rising hundreds of feet above the Beirut skyline. He wasn’t sure…

The armed services consists of four main branches: the army, navy, marine corps, and the coast guard. These are all branches that help protect our country from harm. Unfortunately, these military force groups have the same problem as well as any other work force. You might say that it’s disorganized, or it may be that we have too much or too little in the force. It could be either of those issues at hand, but one of our main issues today is allowing homosexuals to join our military. Many…

created the teletanks, they were modified to be controlled by the radio signals. Weather conditions made it pretty tough to use, but their signal reaches roughly five hundred to fifteen hundred meters away. Soon these teletanks were equipped with machine guns, flamethrowers, and a smoke container for smokescreens. Next, it formed the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency which was primarily for developing new technologies to compete with the Soviet Union during the Cold War since they first…

I only have a few subordinates under my command. I do not think that I am on the level as Alves, but I believe that I have a lot of powerful influence over them. I know I have a long way to go to progress as a leader within my unit. I do plan to gain more power and influence within my unit as my military career progresses. Expertise, personal attraction, effort, and legitimacy are four personal characteristics that are important sources of power (pgs. 288-292). If I follow these…

According to Kime and Anderson (1997, 2000), today’s U. S. military –literacy related issues were embedded in the recruitment of what they term “college proficient” soldiers who lack basic literacy skills. Upon seeing the success of the original aptitude skills program, the armed forces adopted the Basic Skills Education Program (BSEP) in 1979. The BSEP process addressed the need for “college - bound” soldiers who lack proficiency skills demanded in the new armed forces. Thirty years after its…

Although America was just formed after winning independence from Britain, countries that were oppressed looked towards the new country and its Declaration of Independence to achieve their own freedom. As America grew powerful, the country rose to the top among superpowers like Britain and Russia. Today, America is the world’s only superpower and hegemon. To achieve this position, America strengthened their military forces, expanded their economy and integrated its culture through foreign…

and men were being fathers and husbands instead of out on the field. There was a renewed focus on family. All in all, post war allowed for families and communities to be built. The same can not be said about military and modern day. The effects of Military are not as direct to home and everyday life as the 1950’s. Right now, there is no official war being fought and there has not been war for a while. Infact, we have not won a war since World War II so, America is not as high and mighty as it…

In 1778, the American Revolutionary War was raging in the British Colonies. At this point of the war, the British had failed to accomplish their goal of quickly ending the rebellion and were trying to find a strategy that would defeat the rebel forces. Military historian John Shy describes this period in which the British strategy was changed by breaking up the war into three stages in his “The Military Conflict Considered as a Revolutionary War” chapter of his book A People Numerous and Armed.…

very limited. McGregor argues that women deserve the opportunity of attaining higher positions in the military. She support her claims when she points out that, with the exception of Iraq where the front line is nonexistent, women have almost never had the opportunity to engage in combat. This supports her claim because it shows that despite the amount of time women have spent in the military, none of them have actually fought in combat which is unfair and demonstrates gender bias. McGregor…

say to get a job, work hard and work your way to the top. It’s fine to be settled with one of the two options, but what benefits are included when starting off? In the United States Armed Forces, one can go to college to obtain a degree and at the same time work hard to make it to the top, and the benefits start once they ship out to boot camp. Now some will use the excuse that they don’t want to die, but one has a better chance of getting in a car accident and dying than they…
