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…

One of the greatest changes that occurred in the strategy of warfare took place during the 20th century. This was the development and deployment of the airplane. The strategic prowess that airplanes provided during times of war was unprecedented. It was very different than all the other types of weaponry that was used during conflicts, such as ground troops, tanks and ships. This was because “the access [an airplane] provides makes it a faster, more flexible, and more precise than any other…

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…

This means that actions not directly commanded by God are wrong, such as murder, stealing, adultery, etc. The way this is worded is very similar to virtue theory, which states that an action is morally good if and only if the action is good for the person doing the action. Rather than basing the morality of a situation on whether it is just or pleasure-making for other people, it…
