For the final biography project, my writing will focus on a group of pilots, not just one person. Specifically, it will focus on the 588th Night Bomber Regiment, a part of the Soviet Air Force group during World War II that was nicknamed the “Night Witches” for the near silence of their attacks (Garber, 2013). They are different from other regiments of women pilots because they were some of the first to be allowed to fly combat missions rather than just support. They received pushback from their…

Even though sustaining over 50 percent casualties in his regiment and having to withdraw from Peleliu he was…

Perfectly flawed leadership The United States of America is still arguably still the greatest nation on the planet. Funk & Wagnalls (2015) defines a corporation as “an organization, recognized and created by law, which allows people to associate together for a common purpose under a common name.” It is my assertion that America acts as a corporation in interest of economic, legislative, and judicial stability, only not legally incorporated because the government itself would be the granting…

When people see a soldier, people usually picture brave, rugged and strong person. Sometimes the media show an aspect of a Soldier that is negative. When young soldiers see a high ranking soldier, they are immediately intimidated. Sebastian Camacho is in front of many soldiers teaching a class on land navigation.

Located on the Union’s leftmost flank, he quickly realized the strategic significance of the small hill and need for the regiment to hold their position at all costs. Through the heat of the battle, confederate forces accumulated at the base of the hill and began to push the regiment back.
