Mr. Cogan also states that in 2008 an estimated 30 percent of soldiers took their own lives while on deployment and that another 35 percent committed suicide after returning home. Mr. Cogan will also go on to say that the Veterans Affairs (VA) has only treated around 400,000 of the 1.7 million men and women who have served and that the numbers might be far worse than the VA actually knows about.
M2 perform relevant activities with a high standard of self discipline We took part in an army drill exercise by learning different types of marches and ways of moving whilst marching that the army use on a daily basis. My punctuality was great i followed all of the instructions that were given to me. I was on time for the start of the exercise. My appearance was good for the types of manoeuvres we were asked to do for example we were told that to turn right we had to turn on the heel of our right foot whilst our left foot stayed on the ground then we were told to bring our left foot back next to our right foot and put it back down with a bit of a stamping motion before it hit the ground. However whilst taking part in this exercise once I had completed the set of manoeuvres set to me by the two army personnel I started to get a bit distracted and i just was looking at what the other members of the class where doing instead of waiting to be given another set of instructions by either one of the army personnel.
While I agree with General Dempsey’s view on how to form the Army into a “Profession of Arms,” I don’t think today’s Army is quite there yet. I think The Army is going in the right direction but it will take time to change the culture. We need to understand that it is virtually impossible for all Soldiers to be professionals based on experience and expertise alone. We need to understand that not all Soldiers join today for honor, tradition, and/or wanting to be a part of a team. Soldiers are joining the military more and more to have a secure job with benefits for themselves and their family members.
Running head: STAKEHOLDERS: MISSION COMMANDERS Stakeholders: Mission Commanders Trident University International STAKEHOLDERS: MISSION COMMANDERS abstract Who are the stakeholders in this dilemma? I would say all servicemen and servicewomen in the United States military but more specifically, mission commanders. Wikipedia (2013) says, the Department of Defense estimates there are about 19,000 sexual assaults in the military per year but according to the latest Pentagon statistics (2013), only 1,108 troops filed for an investigation during the most recent yearly reporting period and during that period, only 575 cases were processed. Of the cases processed, only 96 went to court-martial. Mission commanders have to be concerned
After being introduced to zero gravity, Ender quickly orients himself to his surroundings and trains constantly to be the best one in his group of peers. Ender sets himself apart from the rest of the pack and as a result is assigned to an army years before the standard induction of new recruits. The members of his army are hostile to ender due to his age and size, and they alienate him quickly. Ender’s commander, Bonzo Madrid, is especially hostile to ender, berating him and dismissing him as a useless child. Bonzo exhibits all the qualities of a totalitarian leader, ruling his army with an iron fist and leaving little room for innovation.
DISCIPLINE IS BEING CONSIDERED AS A PRIMARY REQUISITE IN EACH MILITARY BRANCH. ESPECIALLY, DURING ANY MILITARY TRAINING, DISCIPLINE IS BEING REQUIRED. SO, TO SHOW HOW WELL OF A DISCIPLINED SOLDIER YOU ARE IN FRONT OF YOUR NCO'S AND SENIOR NCO'S YOU HAVE TO BE PUNCTUAL. PUNCTUALITY PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN EVERY SOLDIERS LIFE. THE ROAD TO BECOMING A WELL SEASONED SOLDIER AND LEADER IS VERY TOUGH AND GRUELING AND IS FILLED WITH ALL TYPES OF SETBACKS AND SLIP UPS.
The Vietnam War The Vietnam War was considered by the U.S. a part of their containment policy and to be a way to prevent the communist takeover of South Vietnam. U.S. involvement grew over the years due to the military draft. Many people opposed the war during the peace movement and some even took to the streets in protests of their opinions. There were basically two viewpoints that began to evolve during this time. One group of people felt that there were good ideas for getting involved in the conflict, however they thought it would be a useless battle with too much burden on the economy.
Vietnam War Prior to Vietnam, the American populous held their Schools, Congressman, and official institutions in a high regard. Some Americans felt that even though the intentions of the Government were good when entering the conflict, it was a battle that could never be won and there was too great of a burden on the country economically and social to continue the war. Others felt that the United States was in Vietnam for a purpose and should stay until their task was accomplished. It’s hard to determine the long-term effects of Vietnam to the American public. Although many students were moved by the war, it also caused great changes to politics in the United States.
Soldiers must know how to do their individual job and complete their team tasks. In combat team leaders are responsible for the maneuver of their team; this includes convoys, foot march, air movements or any others. In the army the team leader will spend a lot of time with their soldiers, they do counselling, one to one mentoring and leading by example, they make sure their soldiers get the training they need to be successful in the future.

The program gives you challenges and opportunities to become a better citizen. The instructors are not like teachers, they put in an effort for you to actually try and build up. You do leadership tasks; you help younger teens, participate in things that other teens don't get to participate in. The class isn't boring, you’re always learning about new things, we do weekly current events, and uniform wear. Wearing uniform teaches us responsibility; we have to make sure that our uniform is in order, and has everything on correctly.
