 | Senior Army leaders today struggle to develop adaptive junior leaders prepared to lead in chaotic operating environments. To overcome this challenge, the Army Nurse Corps introduced the Army Nursing Campaign Plan, which is nested in the security strategies of the United States. The Army Nursing Campaign Plan made the development of adaptive Army Nurses a strategic objective for the Corps. This thesis examines the need for adaptive leaders in the ... |

|
| Because the protection cell is such a recent creation and is still being developed in many corps and divisions, there is little literature regarding the operational effects of these operational planning units. The resultant lack of understanding of the key operational changes that have occurred in the organization of the staff hinders effective operational planning and mission command. The uncertainty and complexity of today's operating environment demands a closer look ... |

| The relief of Major General Ralph Smith, United States Army, from the command of the 27th Infantry Division during the battle for Saipan on 24 June 1944 by Lieutenant General Holland M. Smith, United States Marine Corps, seemingly ignited a slow-burning fuse of service competition, jealousy, and animosity that some say is still burning bright today. If not for the sheer determination of the highest Army, Marine Corps, and Navy ... |

| In an age of austerity requiring hard fiscal decisions, the current geopolitical framework supports the new U.S. defense focus on Asia and the Middle East while rebalancing forces in a safer more secure Europe. The rebalance of forces in Europe still provides a strong commitment to NATO through reversibility, a better response to current security needs emanating from European challenges and threats, and committing a Brigade Combat Team to the ... |

John S Woo; ARMY COMMAND AND GENERAL STAFF COLL FORT LEAVENWORTH KS SCHOOL OF ADVANCED MILITARY STUDIES
|
| Is there a better way to organize staffs in operational headquarters based on their roles? Following 9/11, the sizes of divisions and corps serving as operational headquarters have doubled and tripled, respectively. The shift to a brigade-centric Army under modularity should have alleviated the burden on division and corps staffs but has instead blurred the lines of responsibility. Many senior military leaders have questioned the efficacy of such large staffs, ... |

|
| The focus of this monograph is to recommend that U.S. Army corps and division level organizations plan gap crossings -- a type of combined arms operation -- using operational art. Examination of doctrine for gap crossings shows that they are tactical problems. Corps, division, and operational art doctrine do not directly address the need to incorporate gap crossings as a part of an overall campaign. The monograph compares two case ... |

| Examination of the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act (DOPMA) revealed that major provisions of the law originated from legislative antecedents dating as early as 1947. At that time, three of the major concerns influencing officer management legislation were creating uniformity among the Services, promoting a youthful and vigorous officer corps, and ensuring the military?s ability to quickly mobilize in the event of another major conflict.

The U.S. Army adopted the operational level in response to professional drift after Vietnam, concern over the Soviet Union, ... |

Previously he forged an outstanding reputation as a large unit commander in the desert of North Africa and this form suggests his command in Northwest Europe would be faultless.

The percentage of Air Force general officers who are pilots declined from 88 percent in FY1948 to 63 percent in FY2003. Over the same period, the percentage of total Air Force officers who are pilots decreased from 50 to 19 percent. This ... |
