...THE ARMY CREW Case Study 1. Why does the Varsity team lose to the Junior Varsity team? The Varsity Team looses to the junior varsity team because the team lacks leadership, and some of the members view themselves more valuable personally, then they value the team as a whole. Some of them believe that “it is they that carry the team”. Because of this the team does not work as a cohesive unit. Those who do not believe that they are team leaders, have also started to loose moral, and in turn performance, as they believe that they are the weakest link, In the JV boat, the members heavily focus on working as a team, and aim to support their teammates appose to focusing on why they are the most important members. This increased psychological advantage plays into using their physical strengths to their full extent. 2. What should the coach have done differently earlier in the season? At what point should he have intervened differently? The coach established the V boat team as a higher status than the JV boat team. Because the two boats race one another, setting a precedent that one is better than the other, actually benefit the lesser team. The JV boat has nothing to loose, while the V boat is already “the best”. If the coach had made the teams viewed as equal earlier in the season, he may have been more success in igniting competitive spirit in the V boat. This psychological aspect of team dynamics would have been a key issue to address earlier in...

...Army Crew Team Case Study While reading through this case study it becomes evident as to why JV manages to outperform the Varsity team even though the varsity team consists of the best crew members. We can understand why this happened by first evaluating the actions and behavior of the varsity members. To begin, the varsity team is made up of members who think mostly about themselves rather than being group oriented. It is clear that this causes distrust among the team so when the team encounters failure they revert to blaming one another. This is seen throughout the many emails sent between the crew members. Then during the races the varsity members tend to have no motivation to compete; eventually leading to their defeat. Now the JV team on the other hand manages to avoid many of these difficulties by utilizing their strong team commitment and trust among all members. This can be seen through the JV team’s acceptance of the CEP training and the positive group criticism seen throughout the team email. In a sport like rowing, the soft skills such as team work and communication are just as important as physical skills like strength and endurance. In order for a team to be successful they must have some physical capability but most importantly they absolutely must have coordination and motivation among the crew members. Since the Varsity was picked solely based off their strength and speed they lack many of the required soft skills that the JV team exhibits which allows the JV...

...WOMEN IN COMBAT AN INDISPENSIBLE ARMY 21 COMPONENT OR A SIMPLE CASE OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY? Your mission remains fixed, determined, inviolable – it is to win our wars. Everything else in your professional career is but corollary to this vital dedication. All other public purposes … will find others for their accomplishment; but you are the ones who are trained to fight; yours is the profession to arms. General Douglas A. MacArthur to the West Point Graduating Class of 1962 INTRODUCTION Like the United States military, the infusion of women into the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) was announced with great fanfare and the proclamation of the politically-correct notion that “women have as much a role to play in the Nation’s defence as the men”. Thankfully, unlike the US military, the inclusion of women into SAF did not result in controversies and scandals that the US military faced in recent years as exemplified in the Tailhook[1] and Aberdeen[2] scandals. Amidst continued declining birth rates and greater economic opportunities, the participation of women in the SAF has been generally accepted as an inexorable development within the organisation without much ado, trusting that the authorities have performed the necessary analysis. Is this naturally the case? Are there larger issues that we need to grapple with, given our unique circumstances, noting that up till today, the US military is still debating on the wisdom of opening up military career opportunities...

...elite Iraqi units with a single killing blow. It was a difficult assignment, made more so by the weather conditions. The winter of 1990/91 was one of the wettest on record in the Persian Gulf, and had been a major problem during the preceding six weeks of the Desert Storm air campaign. Now the wind was howling, causing a sandstorm that was grounding the Army’s aviation assets and limiting visibility to as little as a thousand meters. Air reconnaissance was limited mostly to signals intelligence data, which meant that finding where the IRG divisions were located, would be up to the 2nd ACR. Like the prairie horse soldiers of 150 years earlier, the troopers of the regiments would grope forward until they physically ran into the enemy, in this case the IRG Tawakalna Division. Generally known to be the best and most aggressive of the various IRG formations, Tawakalna was the unit that would bear the brunt of the coming battle with VII Corps. As 2nd ACR moved forward, the regiment’s three squadrons were line abreast from north to south. Each squadron had two of its three cavalry troops forward, with the other and a tank platoon in reserve behind. In 1991, armored cavalry troops were company-sized units, each with 9 M1A1 Abrams tanks, 13 M3A2 Bradley cavalry fighting vehicles, and a handful of M113-based mortar carriers and other vehicles. On the right (south) side of 2nd...

The way that Soldiers have trained has changed over that time. Training has shifted from a hands-on platform to more virtual world. Since the mid-2000s, the Soldiers of HHC, 710th BSB, 3/10 MTN have been prepared to execute combat operations based on the training that has been spearheaded by the Non Commissioned Officers (NCOs). Army Directorate Publication 7-0 (ADP 7-0) is a manual that describes the appropriate way to conduct unit training. According to ADP 7-0 “unit training is the Army’s life- blood and the NCOs are the primary trainers of enlisted Soldiers, crews, and small teams”. NCOs primary responsibility is to develop and conduct training for subordinates that support the unit training plan, coach other NCOs, advise senior leaders, and help develop junior officers (ADP 7-0, 2012). In addition, NCOs supervise weapon ranges, drivers training, and ensures the welfare of Soldiers...

...Natarsha Hendricks Professor Slade LIBS 499 5 May 2014 Research Proposal for Senior Research Project Introduction This document details planning and preparation for the Senior Research Project, the capstone requirement in partial fulfillment for the bachelor’s degree in liberal studies at North Carolina A&T State University. Included are an overview of the project, the rationale for choosing this topic, the design of this project, and the methods that will be used to conduct the research. This proposal also includes resources needed to complete this project, and an annotated bibliography that will be used as the core sources for the literature review I will write for the final paper. Overview and Purpose of the Research Project The role of women in combat has changed drastically over the years. Their inclusion in the military has increased followed by their involvement. However, the women are still limited in terms of what roles they are allowed to take. The general stigma against women depicts them as homemakers and their place in combat cannot exceed certain levels such as allowing them in the front line. There are other factors that have been linked to their limitation including their capacity to handle emotions, their need for extended leave when they get pregnant and their overall performance as compared to the men. People are constantly advocating for equal rights in men and women. In a bid to achieve that, women should be encouraged to uptake military positions...

Believing that he is being led into a trap, he runs from the base and Valerii.[11] She eventually catches up to him and reveals she is pregnant. Despite shooting her in the shoulder, Agathon realizes he can't bring himself to kill her and instead, at her urging, takes her with him to the Delphi museum. It is there he is reunited with fellow Galactica pilot Kara "Starbuck" Thrace, who is on a special mission from President Laura Roslin to recover the Arrow of Apollo.[12] After nearly being killed by Thrace, Valerii steals the Cylon Raider and flies off.[13] Agathon and Thrace make their way first to Thrace's old apartment to retrieve a new mode of transportation (an old army truck she owned),[14] and then into the woods in search of another military base. While stopping to get their bearings, they run into a group of Pyramid players-turned resistance fighters.[15] After Thrace is wounded and captured by the...

...Alcatraz Island has quite a distinct history. Many people know that Alcatraz served as a federal prison, but most are reluctant to know that this island served as fort. Built before the Civil War, it served two main purposes. First, that it was to guard the San Francisco bay area from enemy ships against a foreign invasion, and second, to hold hostage prisoners of war or POW's as they were called. In this report, I'll show you how this fortress came to be a federal prison, why it is no longer in operation today, and most importantly, to show why it was built in the first place. When the great Gold Rush of 1849 first started, California grew from what would be considered a small, unpopulated state, into what it is now. California is now one of the most populated states and it was mostly the gold rush that brought attention to California. As the government saw all of this happening, they realized that California was much more important than they ever realized. In their realization, they decided that California must be protected. San Francisco has one of the largest bays in all of California, and so this was where enemy countries would most likely to try to invade the country. So this is where Alcatraz was to lie, to serve as a military fort. It was supposed to serve as a secondary base in companionship to another base located on the other side of Golden Gate Bridge. But with severe problems trying to build this other base, Alcatraz was to remain alone. Out in the middle of the San...

...figured out a dirty truth behind the most disciplined, governmentally institutional family called the U.S military. An analysis of military women who was raped during their serving reveals an increasing number of victims from last several years, which somehow has turned into an issue called “military rape culture”, while emphasizes the extravagant neglect of the authorities when it comes to let the cat out of the bag. My fellow women, have you ever gotten into a situation when you had to gather all your courage to choose the very rough path but eventually it turns out to be a dead-end? I think it happens a lot to those women who at first had been either delighted or miserable, honored or hesitating, dedicated or burdensome, to join the army, to be a part of U.S. Navy or Marine. However, despite all the respectful and admiring look from other people to you putting on the military jacket, is the life of a woman in military as grateful as it...

The narration is derived from interviews that the authors conducted with various people who played key roles in the rescue mission. Mining in Chile is not a novelty; it is a country rich in mineral resources and the world’s largest producer of copper. Mining accidents had been recorded in the past some of which ending in tragedy. The locality in which the mining disaster occurred – The Atacama Desert region alone hosted 884 mines. The events relayed in the case study commence on August 5, 2010 to October 13th 2010, when the operation was crowned with a victorious. The sheer tenacity and preciseness of the rescue team led by the Chilean mining minister Laurence Golborne has been compared to that of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA’S) efforts in April 1970 when they successfully returned the damaged...

Methodology You need to find a wide range of evidence that is credible. For example, if a conqueror conquered these lands take evidence from all of those places. We must focus on the facts we cannot believe any stories/fiction and must go on what could be close related to the evidence or just do not use the evidence at all. Such as, “Antonio was on his ship then the loch ness monster destroyed the ship and his crew leaving him the only man alive”. We know the loch ness monster does not exist but could Antonio’s ship have been destroyed yes but, we do not...

... During my husband’s career, my family and I have visited several military installations: Camp Shelby, Mississippi, Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania, and Fort Dix, New Jersey to name a few. If you have never visited an Army base, it’s quite an experience. In some respects, it’s not much different than many middle-income towns in America, but in other ways, it’s very different. The people you meet there feel like family somehow. They, like you, are aware that if you are on the base, shopping or in the grocery store that it’s likely you or someone in your family may be faced with the same uncertain but inevitable struggle; coping with the deployment of a family member. Education, teaching coping strategies and connecting families and service personnel to the available resource has been a top initiative of the US Armed Forces in the past 5 years. With the increased dependency upon Reserve and National Guard components to supplement force strength, an unprecedented burden has been placed on the American family. For those individuals who are actively serving as a part-time soldier, deployments mean separation, family hardship and leaving their ordinary everyday lives to serve their Country. In my case, my husband Mark serves as a Sergeant in the Pennsylvania National Guard as a tank commander. He has been deployed several times, for up to 18 months, and even as I write this article, he is again actively serving our great Nation. “I serve God and...
