Operation Condor

The battle of Arnhem was part of one of the most audacious operations in all of World War II. It consisted of the largest airborne drop conducted to date as well as an armored ground movement in what was codenamed “Market-Garden.” The operation failed with the bridge in Arnhem. There were several factors that lead to this failure, specifically not having all the characteristics of the offense. The plan had both surprise and audacity, however it failed to have the tempo and concentration…

World War II was an extremely dark time for this entire planet. Every country was affected in some way by the war. With Hitler’s powerful regime taking over who or whatever stood in their way to world domination, no lone country stood a chance at even partial interruption of this totalitarianism. The allied forces, mainly the United States, Great Britain, the United Kingdom, Russia, and France, combined together and did their best to combat the German army. Though they were a great threat, there…

I believe that to be successful in life you need to have a purpose. You don’t have to follow anybody else’s rubric, but you can create yourself a standard of what you think will make you successful, and that could be either being rich, or being happy or being famous it is up to you to define it. You define what you think you need to achieve in order to be successful, and this is, basically, creating a goal. So in shorter terms I believe that goal setting is important because it gives us purpose.…

News of ‘Operation Rolling Thunder’ is spreading and I can only worry what it will bring, the operation has 4 main objectives were to boost the morale of the Saigon regime, to persuade North Vietnam to halt supporting South Vietnam without taking any ground forces into communist North Vietnam, to destroy North Vietnam 's transportation system, and to stop the flow of men and materiel into South Vietnam. Operation Rolling Thunder sounded to me as if it…

Military involvement in Afghanistan has been historically ineffective, and characterized by bad strategy. In order to run a successful campaign in this area, a military must develop an effort which incorporates tactics known as COIN operations to minimize the “Accidental-Guerilla” syndrome. Specifically speaking, three major pieces of COIN ideology are relevant in regard to the Afghan conflict. This particular campaign must seek to legitimize the Afghan government by creating local change…

A GEOINT collection strategy evaluation method must be flexible enough to evaluate small and large scale collection operations and emphasize the accountability of every organization associated with establishing the collection requirements. Additionally, the evaluation method should be as simple as possible to ensure seamless implementation and not add extra burden to those that will have to implement it. As a collection manager evaluates the collection strategy they must be able to reference…

During World War II an operation was set forth to claim and establish the northern end of the pincer to allow movement of Allied forces deeper into Germany lines. The goal was to move from Belgium to the north, through the Netherlands, puncture through the Rhine, and reorganize north of the Dutch and German border. This famous operation was set in motion by the United Kingdom’s own Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, and was given the name Operation Market Garden. Alongside Field Marshal…

Whilst having aided the growth of society, technological advances have also helped to negatively debase its moral development. Agent Orange was a chemical meant to accelerate the growth rate of soybeans. In the future this technological advance in high quantity became a herbicide and a defoliant, the opposite of its original purpose. During the Vietnam war, 77 million liters of it were used by the U.S. Military as a weapon against the Vietnamese. Over four hundred thousand Vietnamese people…
