...Irregular warfare (IW) is defined as a violent struggle among state and nonstate actors for legitimacy and influence over the relevant populations. IW favors indirect and asymmetric approaches, though it may employ the full range of military and other capabilities, in order to erode an adversary’s power, influence, and will. It is inherently a protracted struggle that will test the resolve of our Nation and our strategic partners. Our adversaries will pursue IW strategies, employing a hybrid of irregular, disruptive, traditional, and catastrophic capabilities to undermine and erode the influence and will of the United States and our strategic partners. Meeting these challenges and combating this approach will require the concerted efforts of all available instruments of US national power. Influencing foreign governments and populations is a complex and inherently political activity. This Joint Operating Concept (JOC) describes the military role in protracted IW campaigns; however, these campaigns will fail if waged by military means alone. The nature of IW requires the US Government (USG) to achieve the level of unified action necessary to integrate all available instruments of national power to address irregular threats. The USG will have to develop “Whole of Government” approaches to waging IW at the political, strategic, operational, and tactical levels. Other government agencies must build their capacity to operate in unstable or hostile environments. Irregular...

...she has a self-esteem problem in relation to her older sister who “has everything”. The narrator presents herself as a passive woman and is rather insecure about herself. She lets men, unborn or grown-up, control every aspect of her life. And last but not least she has an irregular heartbeat, and a malfunctioning reproductive system. She is fascinated by her boss and maybe as ‘all women’ by his power and high position; “...I do my work on his office computer just to touch the cashmere coat he leaves hanging...” Dr. James Soleander is the archetypical ‘Businessman who cheats on his perfect wife with co-worker’. We know him from novels and TV-shows like “Bridget Jones’sDiary”. He is well-dressed, wears cashmere sweaters and nice shoes, is wealthy, powerful, and in the end not interested in a serious relationship. He is also a married man and a heart doctor. According to our narrator he forgets many things, enjoys onions, as the narrator before her pregnancy, and is attracted to her irregular heartbeat. I perceive him as arrogant, selfish and insensitive because he has a good job and a beautiful wife who cares about him, and on whom he cheats. All through the story the heart plays a huge role. Her irregular heart might symbolize her unstable love life and instability in her life in general. Dr. James Soleander understands the physical anatomy of the heart but he is clueless when it comes to love. He is attracted to the heart’s irregularity maybe because it is different from his...

...Nutrition Drive- Juice What is Nutrition Drive? Ask a captain or a person who regularly spends his/her evening on a sports field/court, you’ll certainly hear the problem of the not-so-nutritious diet made available to them in their hall mess & canteen. Our campus provides quality food at hostel level, no doubt. But those people who follow a rigorous routine of workouts, gym, road-running, weekly matches, this mess food doesn’t guarantee the total nutrition that should be. Nutrition drive is being initiated with this motive only. The Games & Sports Council wants every deserving player of its contingent to get the maximum benefit. How to begin? Every 6 days a week, from 8 30 to 9 30pm a juice stall would be booked in front of hall 3, specifically for sports people. The stall owner would be given a list of captain’s & vice-captain’s name on it. Students who are regular in practice and have attended the practice session on that day can avail this facility, this would be done under the supervision of the captain or the vice-captain, one of them has to be present along with them. Every sport that our campus students play has a different strength than the other. To account for this, number of students who can benefit from this activity would be limited & the thing most important to this, only regular students can utilize this opportunity. There can be 3 different types of Juices that can be provided, namely pineapple, orange & any other seasonal fruit...

...An Irregular Warfare Strategy for Somalia Staff Sergeant Ondrae L. Meyers Enlisted Professional Military Education- Career Course 9 June 2014 In Somalia there is a constant battle that the country faces with a terroristic organization called Al Shabaab. Within these battles they do not use conventional warfare. The Al Shabaab do not have the support of the people and rule by commanding obedience through fear. In a conventional war military forces attempt to achieve strategic objectives against a recognized state. Irregular Warfare is when adversaries seek to isolate themselves from their external supporters and undermine their opponent’s legitimacy and credibility. Irregular Warfare is defined by the Department of Defense Directive 3000.07, (December 2008), as “A violent struggle among state and non-state actors for legitimacy and influence over the relevant population(s). Irregular warfare favors indirect and asymmetric approaches, though it may employ the full range of military and other capacities, in order to erode an adversary’s power, influence, and will.” There are specific applications of “keys to success”, in order to carry out the Irregular Warfare campaign. The two applications are unity of success and understanding the operational environment. Irregular Warfare is defined by Thomas Edward Lawrence, better known as ‘Lawrence of Arabia’, as “Granted mobility, security (in the form of denying targets to the enemy), time, and doctrine (the idea to convert every...

...Introduction Irregular warfare can be defined as a form of warfare in which one of the combatants is composed of irregular military (Morgan, 2008). Irregular military in this case refers to a substandard form of military recruitment that does not comply with national and international military guidelines. This means that the people recruited in the army are not qualified in terms of age and education. Some of them are children who are trained in hostile environments and taught to adopt and become terrorists. This is the case for Somalia. Somalia is an eastern African country that borders Kenya to the west, Ethiopia to the north and the Indian Ocean to the east. For the past few decades, the country has gained international attention due to the challenges of warfare facing the country. It has become a breeding zone for the Al-Shabaab community that is responsible for a number of attacks in neighboring and overseas countries (Le Sage, 2010). Being opposed to the leadership of the government, this group is responsible for perpetrating a variety of irregular warfare activities including terrorism and pirating. Irregular Warfare Activities As identified above, the major threats of the Al-Shabaab military group include terrorism and pirating. Despite advancement in technology of the west, this group has been in the forefront in impacting the world with a sense of fear and horror. Whenever an attack occurs, people are anxious to know the group responsible for the attack. The Al-Shabaab...

...Title: Problems Encountered by Irregular BSMAR-E Students of University of Antique INTRODUCTION Time spent at college is fond memory and happy experience for most, college life is not without its rough patches and problems. While each person’s are unique to their current circumstances, I know that there are few problems that almost all college students deal with at least once during their time at school. Academic performance really means three things: this means the ability to study and remember facts, it also means being able to think in relation to facts and thirdly, further means being able to communicate one’s knowledge verbally or practically. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In the society of university, students form their own interpersonal relations with their fellow students. They discuss commonalities and bond until they form sense of trust in each other. There are students who had given full load of subjects that a student in the specific year and semester. These students are called regular students. Every students in the block aims to pass every class, and some may even aim to pass with high marks, but not every student in the block can achieve this goal. Failure in a subjects or more require/s to repeat the course either in the summer or the following year. These students are called irregular students, but not all regular students became irregular students because they failed a subject or more. Some students became irregular because they are shifters from...

...Business Letters A business letter is more formal than a personal letter. It should have a margin of at least one inch on all four edges. It is always written on 8½"x11" (or metric equivalent) unlined stationery. There are sixparts to a business letter. 1. The Heading. This contains the return address (usually two or three lines) with the date on the last line. Sometimes it may be necessary to include a line after the address and before the date for a phone number, fax number, E-mail address, or something similar. Often a line is skipped between the address and date. That should always be done if the heading is next to the left margin. (See Business Letter Styles.) It is not necessary to type the return address if you are using stationery with the return address already imprinted. Always include the date. 2. The Inside Address. This is the address you are sending your letter to. Make it as complete as possible. Include titles and names if you know them. This is always on the left margin. If an 8½" x 11" paper is folded in thirds to fit in a standard 9" business envelope, the inside address can appear through the window in the envelope. An inside address also helps the recipient route the letter properly and can help should the envelope be damaged and the address become unreadable. Skip a line after the heading before the inside address. Skip another line after the inside address before the greeting. 3. The Greeting. Also called the salutation. The greeting in a business...

Islamic Terrorists Organization for this case ISIS and al Qaeda its members and leaders.
