...Army Reserve Training and Readiness Sergeant Major Kenneth Fenstermacher United States Army Sergeants Major Academy Class 63 Ms. Evelyn Hollis 20 November 2012 Abstract Never in our Nation’s history has the United States Army Reserve been more essential to the United States Regular Army. The United States Army Reserve has evolved into a fundamental part of the total force with modernized deployable forces and Citizen-Soldiers that exemplify the warrior mindset, culture, and ethos. Increasing demand for Army Reserve capabilities has introduced a new benchmark of dependence on the Army Reserve. The Army Reserve has become a critical part of our national security architecture and a positive investment for our nation. Transforming the Army Reserve from how the organization operated prior to 2001 to a solid contributor for unified land operations is remarkable. Senior leaders of the Army Reserve recognized the need for transformation in order to support the changing roles of a reserve force for the Active Component commanders. 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...

It is the largest and oldest of all the branches of the military and continues to dominate all threats aimed at the United States alongside the Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Marines. Like many other organizations in the United States, the U.S Army has a structure of its own. From the top down, it functions as any other organization, but unlike most, every member of its team carries rank and has a chain of command to abide by. In the following I will describe and evaluate the structure and functions within the United States Army, compare it to its fellow branches, and explain its organizational design that has been the primary reason Americans have been kept free from tyranny and enjoy the freedoms taken for granted every day. Army Organizational Structure What is an organization? According to "Businessdictionary" (2012), an organization is a social unit of people, systematically structured and managed to meet a need or to pursue collective goals on a continuing basis (Organization). The United States Army has a structure that starts as high as the President of the United States down to the newest and youngest recruit soldier.

...Force Management in the British Army As leaders in the United States Army, it is important to understand the capabilities and limitations of our strongest allies. As stated in the Quadrennial Defense Review, “Central to the security of the United States is a strong transatlantic partnership, which is underpinned by the bilateral relationships between the United States and the governments of Europe” (QDR, 2010). As the United States military undergoes sequestration, we will become increasingly more reliant on the support of our strongest allies to deter our enemies and, if necessary, project the international will to our collective enemies. In order to fully understand their system, it is important to understand their current force structure and the radical changes they are making under Army 2020, their current manpower reduction plans, their equipment capability development and material development systems, and the documentation methods. British Military as our Strongest Ally Over the last decade, the British has been our strongest ally in Afghanistan and Iraq. Currently, the United Kingdom is one of only three countries with a brigade deployed to Afghanistan (US, UK, and Germany) (NATO, 2013). They currently have 7900 personnel deployed to Afghanistan which is more than 9% of the coalition total. As Force Managers, it is important for us to have an understanding of the force structure, personnel, and equipping plans of our strongest ally in order to have an appreciation...

...people on active duty, in the reserves, and in the civilian sector.1 The Department of Defense, an independent agency, operates under the jurisdiction of the federal Government. There are three departments within the Department of Defense: the Department of the Army, the Department of the Navy and the Department of the Air Force.2 The Department of the Air Force was formed on September 18, 1947 under the National Security Act of 1947. It included several different agencies and units within the United States Air Force which are broken down to the lowest division to ensure a proper chain of command exists. Prior to the National Security Act, the “Air Force” as it is known today, was then known as the Army Air Corp. The purpose of the Department is to provide homeland security and the protection of American interest abroad via the armed forces, acting on the command of the President, U.S. Congress, and the Secretary of Defense. The National Security Act of 1947 became law on 26 July 1947. The lawmakers stated their intentions in a declaration of Policy at the beginning to the act: To provide a comprehensive program for the future security of the United States; to provide three military departments: the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force; to provide for their coordination and unified direction under civilian control and to provide or the effective strategic direction and operation of the armed forces under unified control.3 Department of the Air Force...

...Every year the United States Military Academy and the United States Naval Academy meet in the inaugural Army-Navy Game. However, this is where their respective similarities end. From missions, to rank and command structure, to their establishments during the colonial days of our country, there are not two more different services within the Department of Defense. The United States Air Force was once part of the Army, as the Army Air Corps, separating to their own service after World War Two. The Marines are members of the Department of the Navy and while they have a different rank and command structure, they have a long lasting relationship from the colonial days with the Navy, which has carried on to today. The Army and Navy are services...

Development of the military has a span of over two centuries starting with the creation of the Continental Army in 1775 under the command of General George Washington to what is now a current day War on Terrorism where specialized branches of the military are divided into subcultures that include the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard.

...During the course of the session long project my reference organization is the United States Army. The United States Army is the main branch of the United States Armed Forces and is responsible for land based military operations. The primary mission of the Army is to provide “necessary forces and capabilities…..in support of the National Security and Defense Strategies.” In 2003, during a strategic redesign to become a global fighting force during the Global War on Terrorism, the US Total Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM) and the United States Reserve Personnel Command (AR-PERSCOM) merged to become the US Army Human Resources Command. The advantage to the combined Human Resources Command is that it enables every Soldier in the U.S. Army to manage their entire career from basic training until retirement and later through one office. This improves the career management potential for all active duty and reserve Soldiers, to include the National Guard. Human Resources Command is comprised of over 40 operations throughout the United States. Responsibility includes every aspect of a Soldiers career from job development, awards, and continuing education. The Army is like no other organization. While conducting a job study, there are factors that must be taken into consideration that are not relevant to civilian jobs. In the Army, the job analysis process is used to identify individual tasks to job performance and survival on the battlefield. “Job analysis is the process used...

...Week 4 chain of command Nancy Folley Chamberlain College of Nursing Introduction Information passes up the chain of command and orders and commands are passed down the chain of command ("Chain," 2003). As the Proverb says a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. If the wrong or ill-informed information is sent up the command chain then the decision at the top will be ill advised and the commands down the chain potentially disastrous. Individual soldiers in the field The soldier serves America, his fellow citizens and protects our way of life ("global," n.d.). Enlisted officers promise to obey the President and the Officers appointed over them ("global," n.d.). The Officer appointed over the soldier is responsible for their actions as long as they are following commands. They are to have blind faith in their leaders to guide and direct them with the goal of accomplishing their mission and keeping them safe as possible. Battalion A battalion is manmade up of four to six companies approximately 1000 soldiers. They are capable of independent operations of limited duration and scope they are usually under the command of a lieutenant colonel ("Army," n.d.). Battalion commanders answer to their division commanders. Division A Division may have up to 15,000 soldiers. It is usually commanded by a major general. They are assigned missions based on their structures they can conduct sustained battles ("Army," n.d.). They get their orders from the commander...

...organizational structure of the Army. For this report I will explain the structure of the Army (which includes both active and reserve soldiers) and the makeup of the operational Army and the institutional Army. The organization of the U.S. Army for the majority of the 20th century and all of the post-Cold War era has consisted of three components—the active component and the two reserve components (the Army National Guard and the United States Army Reserve). Over time the mix of this total Army construct has been adjusted to best meet U.S. needs in the global community. The size of the active Army has been reduced by over one-third since that time, yet the pace of operations throughout the world has increased significantly, and the resulting deployments have placed significant stress on the total Army. Reserve component soldiers in particular have experienced more frequent and longer deployments than they had during different wars in the past. These tours have resulted in increased pressure on them, their families, and their civilian employers. There are 50 states and 4 territories with National Guard units. Each state’s or territory’s Guard has both Army and Air Force components.1 Each Guard has both a federal and a state mission. As part of the federal force, the Army Guard augments the active Army. In its state role, the Army Guard works for the governor of the state and is frequently called on to respond to disasters. The adjutant general in each state or territory...

...The Army is the primary landpower arm of our Nation’s Armed Forces. It exists to serve the American people, protect enduring national interests, and fulfill the Nation’s military responsibilities. FM 1 is one of the Army’s two capstone field manuals. It contains our vision for the Army. While the entire manual is important, I would direct your attention to four particular items. FM 1 establishes the fundamental principles for employing landpower. The most important of these are the Army’s operational concept and the fundamentals that support it. They form the foundation for all Army doctrine. All Soldiers should understand and internalize them. FM 1 describes the American profession of arms, the Army’s place in it, and what it means to be a professional Soldier. Central to this discussion are the Soldier’s Creed, Warrior Ethos, and Army Values. These three statements establish the guiding values and standards of the Army profession. To understand Soldiers, you must know about them. To be a Soldier, you must live them. FM 1 discusses Army contributions to the joint force. As the Armed Forces achieve even greater joint interdependence, the Army will depend more on the other Services and vice versa. For this reason, the Army is currently transforming its units and institutions to enhance our campaign qualities for sustained operations and to achieve greater expeditionary and joint capabilities. It is important for Soldiers and all who support or are associated with the Army to understand...

So first, lets start by discussing the Mexican-American war. During April 25, 1846 to February 2, 1848 the Mexican American War occurred. This conflict happened between the Centralist Republic or Mexico and the Unite States. The war consisted of four campaigns as follows, the Texas, California, Pacific Coast and Mexico campaigns. President James K. Polk, who was elected in 1844, believed the United States had a “manifest destiny” to spread across the continent to the Pacific Ocean (Frazier, 1998). At first, the United States declined to incorporate Texas into the union, because northern political interests were against the addition of a new slave state. The Mexican government encouraged border raids and warnings that if any attempt to annex Texas it would lead to a war. As time went by Polk had his eyes on the southwest territory and wanted to occupy Texas and New Mexico. When offers to purchase the land were denied, he instigated a fight by moving troops in the Rio Grande and Nueces that both countries recognized as part of the Mexican state of Coahuila, causing the start of the Mexican-American...

...Officer and Noncommissioned Officer Relationship MSG Terwan Crawley United States Army Sergeants Major Academy Class 63 SGM Johnny Williams March 29, 2013 Abstract The disparity between officers and non-commissioned officers (NCO) in the military still prevails on the social and professional levels. The major issue of the relationship between these groups of men is considered an issue of class structure which is attributed to the differences in the educational levels between them. NCOs are treated in the same manner as a low category enlisted men and as such do not serve as a bridge between the enlisted men and officers. This wide social gap tends to make the learning process imprudent and ineffective. Many of the NCOs usually complained about the unwillingness of officers, or even unfortunate, of a senior NCO to listen to them. In the United States and other Western forces, the non-commissioned officer corps bridges it with a professional NCO corps critically essential for the American military’s training programs to work at its best as the primary trainers in a professional army, and to the enlisted men’s sense camaraderie. Commissioned officers and NCOs share the same goal, which is to accomplish their unit’s mission, and it is apparent that their responsibilities are associated and must be shared. The ability of commissioned and warrant officers to work together with the NCOs is an important aspect of effective leadership; and to enhance this effective working...
