Lieutenant General (LtGen) Richard F. Natonski, United States Marine Corps, commanded the 1st Marine Division (1 MAR DIV), to include a Brigade and more specialized units from the US Army and Iraqi Forces in support of Operation Phantom Fury to gain command and control of Fallujah, Iraq, in November 2004. An excellent execution of mission command throughout the operation was observed. LtGen Natonski was able to understand the mission thoroughly; visualized and employed the resources and forces on ground. He described the situation to subordinate units and directed them continuously on the ground while simultaneously assessing the mission accomplished. He witnessed the mission execution first hand and developed courses of action that ultimately
It is said that it was inspired by the Giralda Tower in Seville, Spain. The cupola tower contained a beacon light to shine over the Miami Bay, which would have served the practical purpose of acting as a lighthouse while symbolically announcing the enlightenment brought by the Metropolis and Miami News to the rest of the world. The Freedom Tower is considered the “Ellis Island of the South” for its role during a twelve year period between 1962 and 1974 as the Cuban Assistance Center, offering nationally sanctioned relief to the Cuban refugees who sought political asylum from the Communist regime of Fidel Castro. Due to the political climate of the time and the Cold War, Cubans were readily welcomed into the United States and extended an unprecedented amount of assistance belying the immigration policy that had dictated the flow of immigration into the country until that point. The Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962 was enacted by the Kennedy Administration to offer assistance to the large number of Cubans fleeing to Miami seeking political asylum.
Cubans gained their independence with the assistance of the United States. Cuba was under United States military control for several years after that. In May of 1902, the United States granted Cuba it’s long sought after independence. The independence was limited because the United States, acting under the Platt Amendment, reserved the right to intervene to preserve Cuban independence and stability. Eventually the Platt Amendment was appealed, this lead to an agreement between the United States and Cuba to lease the naval base at Guantanamo Bay.
In 2004, the state began utilizing the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as the standard procedure for incident management in the State of Florida. The State Emergency Response Team (SERT) is made up of government, private, volunteer and non-government organizations (NGOs). During presidentially declared disasters CEMP is appropriated the role and authority by the federal government. The NIMS and the National Response Framework (NRF), work together in an effort to integrate NGOs, the private sector and jurisdiction resources for domestic incident response. SERT will then mobilize resources and conduct activities to guide and support local emergency management efforts.
Every branch of the military has their unique field that they protect such as the Navy’s specialized area is the water, the Army’s specialized area is the land, and etc. The Air Force’s specialized area is in the air, space, and cyberspace. The Air Force “achieves this mission with Global Vigilance, Reach and Power… by developing Airmen, technology to war fighting and integrating operations” (U.S. Air Force, 2009). The Air Force’s core values are integrity first, second is service before self and third is excellence in all we do (U.S. Air Force, 2009). The appearance of the Air Force’s mission statement and core values shows the organizational culture to be strict and rigid and the organizational communication seems to be straightforward to meet these goals.
In the past 7 ½ years, I have been working for the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Our current mission statement is “Deliver vital public and military engineering services; partnering in peace and war to strengthen our Nation’s security, energize the economy and reduce risks from disasters.” (U. S. Army Corps of Engineers) Organization Description USACE got commissioned on March 16, 1802, and provided the engineers the responsibility of founding the US Military Academy at West Point. In more modern times the Corps “has responded to changing defense requirements and played an integral part in the development of the country. Throughout the 19th century, the Corps built coastal fortifications, surveyed roads and canals, eliminated navigational
Cuba is located only 90 miles off Florida with harbours in strategic position for enemies to threaten war or conversely for America to use as a first line of defence. Not only this but through the idea of manifested destiny the extension of American boarders would seem only natural. The relationship between the two countries dates back to the 1700s with illicit trade and quickly evolved into the States becoming the primary market for exports from Cuba and also the primary source of imports into Cuba . The relationship only intensified thereafter with the expansion of trade making America and their corporations essential to Cuba’s economic life. This economic linkage created a longstanding bond between the Cuban white elite and the American business world .
The word "Uniform" in the code's title refers to the congressional intent to make the justice system in the military uniform or consistent among the armed services. In the Uniform Code of Military Justice is following orders. There are many reasons why a soldier should follow all of the orders they are given because every one of them is important in any circumstance.

There are many reasons of why it is important for a soldier to follow the orders they are given, discipline, an effective combatant, and basic soldiering skills are all examples.
Music has been an integral part of warfare and the soldier's life since the dawn of history. Even the instruments on which it is played have themselves acquired great symbolic power — a regiment's drums are second only to its colors as an emblem of honor and tradition. In the 18th century, the act of enlisting was described as 'following the drum. Even today, those ancient symbols continue to be evoked by titles such as Dave R. Palmer's Summons of the Trumpet, a study of strategy in the Vietnam War. The function of music in war has always been twofold: as a means of communication and as a psychological weapon.
