It’s crazy to imagine that a person you shared a womb with will also be sharing your life with you. My brother, Will, is my younger twin by only eight minutes. It is something special having a twin. You share EVERYTHING, and I mean literally. We shared a mom during infancy, we shared clothes, we shared the same room, sleeping in twin beds for upwards of sixteen years, and lastly, we share a birthday. In 2002, my father was playing with Will and I, and he noticed that Will’s attention was always…

Chivalry is a concept that has been prominent in stories for hundreds of years. Because chivalry was originally a code followed by knights, the clearest examples of it can be found in medieval texts, such as the Arthurian legend. Generally speaking, knights following the chivalric code were supposed to believe in and fear God, defend everyone (but especially the weak), obey authority, accept challenges from equals, and overall be honorable, honest guys who even go so far as to respect women.…

It is often said that Chivalry has been lost. That in today’s society, people don’t have the time or patience to act like a knight. More often than not, people are too caught up in their own lives that they don’t have the time to stop and think about helping others. Chivalry is the code of the knights.

additional Brigades, in support of surge operations, spanned over a five-month period, from January to May of 2007. The implementation of tour extensions took effect in order to facilitate a shared understanding between presently deployed Brigades and the influx of the allotted 28,000 additional U.S. troops. These additional troops would later support Operation Phantom Thunder, Operation Phantom Strike, and Operation Phantom Phoenix. Surge operations, commanded under the authority of…

The origin of operation Market Garden laid in the overwhelming success of Operation Overlord, in June of 1944. This operation, which included the Battle of Arnhem, not long after the D-day landings, became one of the largest Airborne battles in history. Other than operation Overlord, it was the only other operation by the allies to use airborne forces as a strategic role in the European front. The operation had a massive engagement. The main two combatants in this operations the 21st army group…

their advance. With no ability to maneuver, the Guards Armored forces had to slowly fight their way north. They reached Valkenswaard by the end of the day, but halted for 12 hours while the engineers constructed a Bailey bridge before continuing (“Operation Market Garden.” n.d.). At this point, Market-Garden was already behind schedule. Unbeknownst to the Allies, a glider from the first wave of the 101st landings was shot down and in the wreckage the Germans discovered air plans for Market. …

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…

Eagle Claw failed for a variety of reasons, both during the planning and later during the execution. Before entering Iran, each of the government agencies worked independently with little to no cohesion amongst them and the mission was kept secret from key…
