Supported by patriotic employers, resilient families, and caring communities, Army Reserve Soldiers are “Twice the Citizen.” Army Reserve Training and Readiness The United States Army Reserve has served our nation since 23 April 1908 as the Federal Reserve force of the United States Army. Peacetime Army Reserve leaders implemented a wartime trace for the first time in 1980. CAPSTONE professed to align every Army Reserve enabler with the active and reserve units with which they would deploy with when called upon. Units maintained lines of communication with the units, often hundreds, or thousands of miles away in peacetime, who would presumably serve above or below them in the event of mobilization. The CAPSTONE concept failed to meet the operational readiness for the regular components during Operation Desert Storm. The past...

...the major concerns and points of resistance among military personnel. Despite the involvement of women in the military since 1901, the medical needs of women in combat have not be properly addressed or reasonably understood. There is ongoing progress in research and treatment efforts, determining the physiological differences between the sexes, medical issues such as susceptibility to stress fractures, pregnancy, menstrual cycles, and breastfeeding as well as leadership and unit factors which must continue as women are fully integrated in to ground combat arms. A greater understanding of these issues will be beneficial to all services as well as genders during wartime. The ability of women to cope on the battlefield is plagued with mixed emotions. Some same women are incapable of handling combat, physically. The service members currently serving in assignments such as Special Forces units have expressed concerns about serving with women. Many feel the presence of women causes a lost to their elite status and of fear from the opposition of their esteemed unit. Other concerns of behavior during menstruation affecting women’s judgment may also cause other problems. Despite the concerns, each individual will have the opportunity to meet the challenge regardless of gender if he or she can physically meet the requirements of the job. Ultimately, women will be given more opportunities to excel in their military career by being allowed to enter jobs previously closed...

With his kind permission, the ICRC has translated it and adapted it to the general plan of one of its recent publications, Basic Rules of the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols. The analysis of case studies is (if I may be allowed the metaphor) a sort of obstacle race over IHL territory. It is the rider who, on completing his circuit faultlessly, realizes the majesty and beauty of horsemanship. And it is by overcoming all the difficulties of these cases that the importance of IHL, and its applicability to present conditions, will be realized and IHL better understood. The cases are admittedly difficult, but they can be an...

Methods: A case study approach was used. The single case being a Defence School of Health Care Studies (DSHCS) and the multiple units of analysis: student nurses, the lecturers and Student Standing Orders. An in depth three dimensional picture was achieved using multiple data collection methods: interview, survey, observation and document analysis. Findings: The findings suggest that the DSHCS is perceived to be a sub-culture within a dominant civilian learning culture. Generally, the students and staff believed that the DSHCS is an excellent learning environment and that the defence students overall are high achievers. The common themes that appeared from the data were image, ethos, environment, discipline, support, welfare and a civilian versus military way of thinking. Conclusion: The learning experience of defence student nurses is very positive and enhanced by the positive learning culture of the civilian Higher Educational Institution. The factors influencing a positive learning experience that can be impacted by the overarching culture are discipline, image, ethos of adult learning, support and welfare. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

...and individual Soldiers must take to keep stress within an acceptable range. This does not mean that control and management are mutually exclusive terms. Management is, by definition, the exercise of control. Within common usage, however, and especially within Army usage, management has the connotation of being a somewhat detached, number–driven, higher echelon process rather than a direct, inspirational, leadership process. Stress is the body’s and mind’s process for dealing with uncertain change and danger. Elimination of stress is both impossible and undesirable in either the Army’s combat or peacetime missions Combat and Operational Stressors Combat and operational stress will affect you and your Soldiers throughout your military careers. But, as a leader you must learn and teach your Soldiers to recognize the symptoms, and take steps to prevent or reduce the disruptive...
