Global Management In The Military: Memo Of Transmittal
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. Enclosed please find the completed report that addresses a serious and ongoing issue of military unpreparedness where army combat is concerned. Faulty leadership resides at the crux of the problem, a reality that not only compromises the fundamental objectives of these military missions but also jeopardizes the very foundation upon which the United States Army is able to protect this country and those who depend upon national security to safeguard their very lives. Additionally, equipped with woefully inadequate armaments, this reality packs a one-two punch to soldiers whose objectives simply cannot be met with such unsatisfactory preparation.

Group Dynamics Proposal: Gender Tolerance Groups in a Military Environment
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 9 page group proposal discussing the possibility of establishment of gender tolerance sessions within the regular course of military training. An increased population of women in the military should be reflected by gender tolerance activities within a working team environment. By combining group dynamic research in regards to business organizational structures and mentoring aspects which have proven more beneficial in regards to diversified groups, the group leader would hope to establish not only increased gender tolerance and awareness through education and group activities but by forming smaller groups within the sessions comprised of two group faultlines (age/experience and gender), the sessions would provide an opportunity for the members to gain valuable social, professional and working team skills within a mixed gender environment.

Halperin's The Lawless State
[ send me this essay ]
It would seem that 'free society' is one that is bounded by the ideals of community and assured peace through the auspices of government. This 7 page paper argues that Morton Halperin's book, The Lawless State: The Crimes Of U. S. Intelligence Agencies, while being somewhat dated (first published in 1976), is an intelligent indictment against those agencies where 'covert' is another word for 'power' and the SOP (standard operating procedure) is a misuse of that power as well as a flagrant disregard of the Constitutional rights of their 'victims'. No additional sources are listed.

Hamburger Hill
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. From May 10-20, 1969, US and South Vietnamese troops collided for control of Ap Bia Mountain; in these ten days, fifty-six soldiers lost their lives and four hundred twenty more were wounded from the 101st Airborne. The United States ultimately captured "Hamburger Hill" by killing five hundred ninety-seven enemy soldiers; however, once the conquest is made, orders came down to abandon what they fought so hard to obtain, leaving the hill completely wide open for the North Vietnamese to move in and take back the hill unopposed. This particular military approach was not widely heralded back in the states and created a significant amount of hostility from the American people. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Harold Seidman on “The Executive Establishment: Culture and Personality”
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the role of the executive within governmental agencies according to Seidman. In Harold Seidman’s text “Politics, Position and Power: the Dynamics of Federal Organization” (1997) he discusses “The Executive Establishment: Culture and Personality” (Chapter 8). While there is an executive hierarchy within the government agencies, influence and position are often dependent on the specific agency and the relationships with those superior. Despite the professional expertise of some secretaries, their appointments are largely related to where in the country they are from, their lifestyle, what their professional and personal background is and how conformist they are to the established values and ideology of a particular agency and in fact are only as free to act “as big as the president, the bureaucracy, the Congress, and their constituencies allow them to be”. While higher executives within agencies fall within the expected traditional roles, undersecretaries and others within the agencies may more so represent the diverse groups within the portfolio. Despite the increase in external “hybrid” agencies, traditional social and cultural expectations remain of executives within the political structure who must conform to rather than try to reform the institutions they administer.

How And Why The U.S. Military Has Repeatedly Been Unprepared To Execute Its Primary Mission At The Outbreak Of Hostilities
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. Stepping foot onto the battlefield is the final component in a long line of preparations whereby the individual who initiates that step is mentally, physically and strategically ready for combat. Unfortunately, this common sense approach to military operations There are a number of considerations above and beyond acquiring a good tactical leader that determine successful organizational strategy in combat. Identifying the root factors affecting the U.S. military's readiness to perform its primary function during the initial stages of Task Force Smith and Operation Desert Storm reveal two indefensible reasons: deplorable leadership and inadequate ammunition. The lack of appropriate training in conjunction with insufficient, inoperable or undersupplied munitions created a scenario whereby every soldier who stepped forth into battle was sure to be ill-equipped to come out alive.
