Military Leadership Examples
The most dominant tenant of military leadership is to "lead by example." What people fail to realize, however, is that everyone leads by example.
Some people tend to lead by a good example, and some people tend to lead by a bad example. I firmly believe that the first "leadership example"
you get as a cadet has the ability to shape your future experiences and contributions. Be it one semester of having a great instructor, or three years of
having a phenomenal tactical officer (TAC), I would argue that the rate of return on cadet output with a positive experience is tenfold that of a
negative experience. My TAC of Company C–2, Major (Promotable) Nicole Ussery was that positive experience for me at school. MAJ Ussery is a

dense forest of Ardennes Wallonia in eastern part of Belgium, northeast France, and Luxembourg. This battle was one of the largest fought by the
United States Army, on the Western Front in Europe, during World War II. This fierce battle, was between the German Nazi's, the American Army,
Canadian Army, and the British Army, was one of Hitler's last attempt to split the Allies driving them towards Germany and destroy their ability to
supply themselves. Were the Germans able to stop the Americans and the British from getting their supplies? Was the weather a factor and if so, who
did it assist in the battle? Was the American Army able to counter attack in a timely manner and stop the German Nazi's invasion? Analysis of the

The Korean People's Army: The Invasion Of North Korea
On the 25th of June 1950, North Korea's Korean People's Army (NKPA), began its invasion of the Republic of Korea, hastening the build up of
ROK support from the UN and US. The US 7th Fleet deployed from the Philippines to Korean waters, and US forces are authorized to conduct air
and naval operations in support of ROK, south of the 38th Parallel. North Korea wasted no time in rapidly seizing Seoul by the 28th of June. Shortly
after, the US Navy initiated its now authorized blockade of the peninsula as US ground forces were allowed to perform support roles for the ROK
military, which quickly transitioned to full combatant roles. July 1st saw the deployment of Lieutenant General Walton H. Walker's 8th Army advance

When 25th Infantry Division arrived, the 8th US Army HQ established in the then Pusan Base Command, which would be renamed the Pusan
Logistical Command and fell under the direction of LTG Walker. ROK forces were delegated by UN Command to the 8th Army on July 17th and on
July 18th, the 1st Cavalry Division arrived in South Korea to further reinforce the 8th Army. Air support arrived on the 24th of July under the 5th
Air Force HQ, as the UN headquarters collocate itself with the US Far East Command in Tokyo, Japan. The beginning of August saw the 1st
Provisional Marine Brigade and 2nd Infantry Division arrive into the country; it also saw the activation of the Army Reserve and National Guard.
Faced with a string of defeats from Ch'onan to Taejon, and with an understrength and poorly trained army, Walker's mission became to slowly bound
his forces back towards Pusan and delay the enemy advancement for as long as he could. Walker issued his famous "Stand or Die" order (Stokesbury,
1988) and established the defensive perimeter which was approximately 100 by 50 miles, oriented along the Naktong River, officially called the Pusan
Perimeter (also known as the Naktong Perimeter). In the perimeter, Walker had the advantage of operating on interior lines and had a robust logistical

Order Of Merit List
The draw down the Army is currently experiencing introduced changes to the Army's retention program and the service of some Soldiers is no longer a
given. A tri–signed memorandum from senior Army leadership changed the way retention will operate in the future. As a result, Army leadership
implemented the Order of Merit List (OML) causing commanders at all levels to face tough decisions that will challenge their ethical demeanor.
Subjecting our Soldiers to this type of treatment is unjust. The use of the OML determines the best–qualified Soldiers throughout formations. Though
the OML may identify the top performers, it does not take into account the Soldiers future potential. Looking at the situation through the ethical
decision–making... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The ethical issue resonates here. Leaving the interpretation of what best qualified meant up to each commander. Subsequently, every commander had a
different perception of what best qualified meant to them. Within the Third Infantry Division (3ID), they developed an Order of Merit List (OML) to
help commanders identify the best–qualified Soldiers in their formations. This directive came from the 3ID Commanding General (CG). Each brigade
constructed an OML by utilizing Soldiers' weapon score, physical fitness test score, if they appeared before a Soldier of the Month board, previous
awards, military and civilian education, deployment history, and the first line supervisors' recommendation to come up with a total point value. The
Third Infantry Commander named this the Commanders Assessment Tool for Retention (CAT
–R). Soldiers with the highest score would have the first
opportunity to reenlist. Soldiers would have two weeks to make a decision to reenlist or not. Soldiers that elected not to reenlist went to the bottom of
the OML until the next quarter. This allowed only the best–qualified Soldiers to reenlist. Just as the Army is an all–volunteer force so is retention of
our Soldiers. This process led commanders to face tough decisions. By choosing, who gets to reenlist and who does not base upon how a Soldier
performed, it never addressed the Soldiers future potential. The Commanding General of the Third Infantry Division (3ID) took the tri–signed letter out
of context. Subjecting Soldiers to this type of treatment was wrong. These are the very same Soldiers that deployed into harms way some multiple
times to Iraq and Afghanistan to defeat our adversaries, and now we are questioning their service and if they are good enough. According to General

Military Leadership Challenges
The United States (US) Army has prided itself on the ability to make members overcome extreme obstacles and deliver success despite adversity
through a main principle, leadership. Since 1775, leaders in the Army have had many obstacles but some of the greatest obstacles seem to come
from their own decision makers, the US government. In 2013, the Army faced yet again another obstacle federal budget sequestration. This was a
result of, as stated by Vye (2013), an impasse in 2011 in the US Congress on the issue of raising the debt ceiling due to the US government
overspending within the current Fiscal Year (FY). As a result, the US would not be able to pay on the loans it had with other lenders and suffered a

What were the programs that were reduced or cut after sequestration and how did that effect personnel in morale, job satisfaction, and retention?
4.How did these programs hinder or enhance leadership? Research Objective The findings of this research will be presented to the senior leaders
of the 25th ID and the Installation Commanding General (CG) of Schofield Barracks, HI. If the findings result in recommendations that are of
general application to the other senior leaders within the US Army, those senior leaders will be included as well at the discretion of the CG. This
study is worthwhile because it will provide valuable lessons learned and success in an organized report so that, leaders can be more effective in the
future. The political will to change the current fiscal climate is weak at best. Another budget proposal will need to be passed by Congress in FY
2015 and beyond. It is imperative that the US Army and the 25th ID remain trained and ready to deploy in the Pacific AOR no matter the fiscal
climate. This analysis can provide some solutions on how leaders can succeed in that context.

Ernest Edison "Ernie" West is a former United States Army soldier and a recipient of the U.S. military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, for

Ernest was born on September 2, 1931 in Russell, Kentucky. At eight years old, his parents passed away, therefore Ernest was raised in an
orphanage at the Methodist Children's Home in Versailles, Kentucky. He had 125 brothers and there he learned the importance in brotherhood. In an

West is an admirable Medal of Honor Recipient because of the mentality of brotherhood and equality he has. He saved his comrades because he
believed in brotherhood, that nobody was to be left behind. He believes they would do the same for him and to me that is truly commendable. Back
when West was in the army, his unit was integrated, which was unusual in the 50's. "Back then, if you were black, you didn't associate with me and I
didn't associate with you," West recalled. "I thought it was wrong then and I think it's wrong today. We're all equal. We might not be the same color–
but color doesn't have a damned thing to do with it. "I still say we're all brothers, all sisters. That's the way I felt about it then and always have." I

Essay On The Battle Of The Bulge
Battle of the Bulge By the time World War II ended, numerous battles were won and lost by both sides. Millions of soldiers were killed defending
their countries. One of the most famous battles was the Battle of the Bulge. The result of this battle would all but end any hope for Adolf Hitler to

after this battle was over. This will give a better understanding, some expertise, and awareness of how important this battle was to the Allied forces.
The Battle of the Bulge is said to be Adolf Hitler's "final, desperate gamble of the war" (Battle of the Bulge Timeline (December 16th, 1944– January
25th, 1945), n.d.). This was because by this time in World War II, Adolf Hitler was running low on supplies. Knowing that this war could end for him
soon, he made a frantic effort to try and win the war. Since he was low on supplies his goal was to "reach the post city of Antwerp and disrupt the
Allied front and their much–needed supply lines along the way" (Battle of the Bulge Timeline (December 16th, 1944– January 25th, 1945), n.d.). This
was an important battle that needed to be won, and it is said to be the "largest and perhaps the most savage land battle fought by the Americans in

The forces of the East India Company in India were forced by casualties to dye their white summer tunics to neutral tones, initially a tan called khaki
(from the Hindi–Urdu word for "dusty"). This was a temporary measure which became standard in Indian service in the 1880s. Only during the Second
Boer War in 1902, did the entireBritish Army standardise on dun for Service Dress. Indian Army uniform standardises on dun for khaki.
The modern Indian Army wears distinctive parade uniforms characterised by variegated turbans and waist–sashes in regimental colours. The Gurkha

President Aristide took office in January of 1991 and was ousted in September of the same year by his hand–picked, chief of staff of the army
Lieutenant General Raoul Cedras and forced to flee the country. International outrage, fueled in large part by the well–publicized flotilla of "boat
people" bound for FloridaВё put Haiti abruptly in the international spotlight.3 These events set the stage for U.S. involvement in the Haitian crisis. In
1993, the United Nations (UN) attempted to negotiate for a peaceful resolution with Gen. Cedras, which proved unsuccessful. Gen. Cedras would agree
to different stipulations, to include stepping down to get the embargo lifted, and each time he would fail to honor his end. In one such incident, with
few rounds fired, thugs in his employ forcibly prevented an American ship, the USS Harlan County, from off–loading UN troops intended to retrain the
Haitian Army and police force.4 The UN reestablished the embargo, a naval blockade and passed UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 940,
authorizing the "application of all necessary means to restore democracy in Haiti".5 This set the planning assets in motion for forcible entry into Haiti.
Planning and Preparation In January 1994, the deadline for Lieutenant General Cedras to step down passed. He did not relinquish power and

had given him a pearl revolver that he took with him when he left that day (Thiele). Billie and his friend Jessie were sent to Hawaii, where they
went through Basic Training together and then went to Japan. While in Japan, Billie was able to write a short letter home letting all his loved ones
know he was safe. It would be the last they heard from him. He was supposed to attend a training school in Japan, but for some unknown reason was

On June 25, 1950, the Korean War began when 75,000 North Korean People's Army (NKPA) troops moved across the 38th parallel. Later that same day
the United Nations demanded that North Korea withdrawal its forces and return to its borders. Kim Il Sung disregarded this and ordered his troops
to press forward and by June 29, 1950, the capital of south Korean fell to the NKPA. The United States geared up for a war against communism.
Not more than a day after Seoul fell, the US had officially entered the war and had ground troops committed, an action backed by the U.N. At the
beginning of the war the U.S. soldiers had little combat experience and they were in a foreign land. This was the reason for the mass casualties

On June 25th, 1950, North Korean forces crossed the 38th Parallel and invaded the Republic of Korea (South Korea). This was a battle between
democracy and communism, where the United Nations supported the South Democrats while the Soviet Union in cooperation with China supported
the North Communists. Most Canadians knew nothing about Korea during the 1950s. Despite that, the Canadian army still sent an entire brigade group
to military operations there. Besides the two world wars, the Korean War remains Canada's third bloodiest oversea conflict as it left 516 Canadians

The brigade inflicted great damage to the enemy troops with minimal casualties. Ultimately, Canada's actions earned them a United States Presidential
Unit Citation and prevented the communists from crossing through the 38th Parallel and recapturing South Korean territory once again. In July 1951,
after US President Truman fired General MacArthur for insubordination, Truman and his new military commanders started truce negotiations at
Panmunjom. Nonetheless, battle continuously ensued across the 38th Parallel as negotiations stalled. Canada's navy played a noteworthy role in
defending UN aircraft carriers for the chance to apply political pressure against North Korea. As Canada's eight naval ships defended the UN aircraft, a
mass series of bombings took place on 13 hydroelectric generating facilities known as the Attacks on Sui–Ho Dam. The UN wanted to make the
message clear that they were willing to make this war as difficult and expensive as possible for the communists. The strikes were successful in
destroying up to 90% of North Korea's facilities and causing a blackout for 2 weeks; 23% of power was also reduced from Northeast China.
Eventually, this political pressure contributed to North Korea to agree and sign armistice. Furthermore, the ships were also responsible for short

Essay War Ethics in Iraq

LTC West a battalion officer in Iraq during on or about January of 2003 to October of 2003; made a controversial decision. LTC West and his battalion

After the second shot was fired the policeman disclosed all information having to do with a sniper ambush. LTC West pursued this invaluable
information. The information the policeman gave up was accurate. LTC West and his soldiers wiped out the ambush before it could cause them harm.
It is unfortunate that soldiers have to fight with their hands behind their back in Iraq. And there is no doubt about it; soldiers have to do just that.
Soldiers in Iraq are fighting under a dangerous environment where the next step could be their last, as loyalists of Saddam Hussein's regime attack
them relentlessly. The enemy is wearing civilian clothes and hiding behind women and children. So when you ask battalion and company
commanders to stop the violence against the Iraqi people and against soldiers, the pressure to use aggressive interrogation techniques seems to be
reasonable. LTC West simply put his soldiers first and in doing so saved a countless number of lives. LTC West should not be pursued as a criminal
but instead a hero.
This act of political positioning has caused a huge wave of demoralization throughout the military; from Iraq to here at home. I can vouch for such
feelings in Iraq. I happened to be there in October of 2003 when LTC West was unfairly charged. My unit felt the demoralized and the 82nd

length. The land mass consists of steep, rocky slopes and deep ravines cut into steep hills. Thin, sandy beaches line the western and southernmost
coastline. Key terrain included the hills of Achi Baba, overlooking Cape Helles on the southernmost tip and Sari Bair, overlooking Anzac Cove and
the Asian coastline beyond. Strong ocean currents on the morning of the Battle of Anzac Cove forced the Australians to land nearly 3,000 yards north
of their target. The beach here was less than forty feet wide and lined with sheer cliff faces creating a natural 200–foot tall barricade. Turkish forces
had not bothered to fortify this stretch of land nor to station troops here as it was deemed an impossible landing site.
Weather in the Gallipoli region was beginning to improve after a harsh and unforgiving winter. By the landing at Anzac Cove in late April,
temperatures were ranging from nighttime lows in the mid–40s to daytime highs in the mid–60s. Average rainfall for April was typically around 45mm
and had been particularly harsh in the middle of April, causing the planned landings at Gallipoli to be pushed back an additional three weeks. Skies

Ardennes Offensive Advantages And Disadvantages
The Allies faced various disadvantages during the Ardennes Offensive: пѓ Since the Allies had reached the German border after the Normandy
landings by this time, they faced an important intelligence disadvantage. The Germans used only telephones and tele printers within the German
borders. Radios were not used as the Allies had cracked Enigma by then. пѓ The Allied aircraft reconnaissance suffered due to the autumn fog and
withheld them from making optimum use of air power – especially the tank–busting Typhoons of the RAF or Mustang fighters from the USAAF which
would have been used against German tanks. Though the weather was typical for the Ardennes in winter, the ground was hard enough for military
vehicles to cross and this suited the armored attack Hitler envisaged. пѓ Germans used charcoal instead of wood to reduce smoke detection. The Battle
of Bulge Military Situation maps: 16th December 1944 On the morning of 16th December, the Germans launched an attack on the Allied forces
through the Ardennes. The plan for Dietrich's 6th Army was for the three infantry divisions to punch a hole on either side of Udenbrath, and then swing
north–west to form a hard shoulder facing north while the four armored divisions drove through the... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Lack of fuel and manpower on the western front made it inevitable had the German offensive would fall through unless Allied supplies could be
captured intact and that was a long shot in any case. Hitler had been defeated by Allied air superiority, by the defenders of Bastogne, by poor
coordination among his own forces (especially between the Fifth and Sixth Panzer Divisions) and by a new weapon, the proximity fuse which could
make a shell go off at a distance from its target through the use of radars. However, in the end it was his extreme military belief that 'attack is the best

During the overall restructuring of the United States Army current active Army units began to transform into modular organizations to enhance the
capability to perform its mission by making them a quickly deployable, flexible and lethal unit than had been previously structured. Therefore, Combat
Aviation Brigades were developed and are multi–functional, allowing for a combination of attack helicopters, reconnaissance helicopters, medium lift
helicopters, heavy lift helicopters, and medical evacuation capabilities. It was decided that aviation units will not be a portion of a larger unit such as
combat brigades and will continue to reside at the division level due to resource constraints. The various helicopters that are to be... Show more content

On 25 June 1963 its assets were used to form the 119th Aviation Company (Airmobile), and it was re–equipped with turbine powered single rotor
UH–1A and UH–1B helicopters. The entire central highlands of Vietnam as well as large areas of Laos and Cambodia were the company's vast area
of operation. The 119th Aviation Company was eventually assigned to the 52nd Aviation Battalion, 17th Aviation Group, 1st Aviation Brigade and
headquartered in Pleiku at a helicopter base known as Camp Holloway. Also, for a short time during the war, they were based out of an airfield in An
Khe. The 119th had helicopters that were equipped with 16 to 20 armed UH–1Ds and approximately eight Huey UH–1C model gunships which were
better known as "Crocodiles" or "Crocs". At one time or another, the company also used the call sign called "Black Dragon" from which the 52nd's
"Flying Dragon" call sign evolved. Crew members, pilots, field maintenance and critical support personnel are what the company was mainly composed
of; bringing the total strength for the company during this time frame to approximately 225 personnel. Along with flying many classified missions for a
multi–service U.S. Special Operations unit known as MACV–SOG, the 119th Aviation Company also provided helicopter support for over eight years

Military Leadership Examples

  • 1. Military Leadership Examples The most dominant tenant of military leadership is to "lead by example." What people fail to realize, however, is that everyone leads by example. Some people tend to lead by a good example, and some people tend to lead by a bad example. I firmly believe that the first "leadership example" you get as a cadet has the ability to shape your future experiences and contributions. Be it one semester of having a great instructor, or three years of having a phenomenal tactical officer (TAC), I would argue that the rate of return on cadet output with a positive experience is tenfold that of a negative experience. My TAC of Company C–2, Major (Promotable) Nicole Ussery was that positive experience for me at school. MAJ Ussery is a female Military ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

It was launched, in the dense forest of Ardennes Wallonia in eastern part of Belgium, northeast France, and Luxembourg. This battle was one of the largest fought by the United States Army, on the Western Front in Europe, during World War II. This fierce battle, was between the German Nazi's, the American Army, Canadian Army, and the British Army, was one of Hitler's last attempt to split the Allies driving them towards Germany and destroy their ability to supply themselves. Were the Germans able to stop the Americans and the British from getting their supplies? Was the weather a factor and if so, who did it assist in the battle? Was the American Army able to counter attack in a timely manner and stop the German Nazi's invasion? Analysis of the Battle of the Bulge The Battle of the Bulge also known as "Ardennes Offensive", started on December 16, 1944. The Battle of the bulge, is significantly known as what ruined the German army and brought about the end of the war.

The US 7th Fleet deployed from the Philippines to Korean waters, and US forces are authorized to conduct air and naval operations in support of ROK, south of the 38th Parallel. North Korea wasted no time in rapidly seizing Seoul by the 28th of June. Shortly after, the US Navy initiated its now authorized blockade of the peninsula as US ground forces were allowed to perform support roles for the ROK military, which quickly transitioned to full combatant roles.

When 25th Infantry Division arrived, the 8th US Army HQ established in the then Pusan Base Command, which would be renamed the Pusan Logistical Command and fell under the direction of LTG Walker. ROK forces were delegated by UN Command to the 8th Army on July 17th and on July 18th, the 1st Cavalry Division arrived in South Korea to further reinforce the 8th Army. Air support arrived on the 24th of July under the 5th Air Force HQ, as the UN headquarters collocate itself with the US Far East Command in Tokyo, Japan. The beginning of August saw the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade and 2nd Infantry Division arrive into the country; it also saw the activation of the Army Reserve and National Guard. Faced with a string of defeats from Ch'onan to Taejon, and with an understrength and poorly trained army, Walker's mission became to slowly bound his forces back towards Pusan and delay the enemy advancement for as long as he could. Walker issued his famous "Stand or Die" order (Stokesbury, 1988) and established the defensive perimeter which was approximately 100 by 50 miles, oriented along the Naktong River, officially called the Pusan Perimeter (also known as the Naktong Perimeter).

After the man has collapsed to the floor the camera zooms into his eyes and the scene changes. It focuses on another mans face with the caption 'Dog Green sector Omaha Beach June 6th 1944.' This is a flashback and a complete contrast from the cemetery. It's very loud and the colours are grey and dark. The camera then focuses on the man's shaking hands and the men around him who are clearly nervous, praying or being sick; Spiel burg is determined to show from the start that the war is not glamorous or a game. You see how stormy it is and how many boats there are approaching the beach. Bullets start straight away and people are killed before they have even got off the boats. When they start going in to the water the camera does a number of underwater shots whilst bullets fire past them. It is as if the camera is seeing through the eyes of one of the soldiers, making you feel very involved in the struggle.

A tri–signed memorandum from senior Army leadership changed the way retention will operate in the future. As a result, Army leadership implemented the Order of Merit List (OML) causing commanders at all levels to face tough decisions that will challenge their ethical demeanor. Subjecting our Soldiers to this type of treatment is unjust. The use of the OML determines the best–qualified Soldiers throughout formations. Though the OML may identify the top performers, it does not take into account the Soldiers future potential. Looking at the situation through the ethical decision–making... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The ethical issue resonates here. Leaving the interpretation of what best qualified meant up to each commander. Subsequently, every commander had a different perception of what best qualified meant to them. Within the Third Infantry Division (3ID), they developed an Order of Merit List (OML) to help commanders identify the best–qualified Soldiers in their formations. This directive came from the 3ID Commanding General (CG). Each brigade constructed an OML by utilizing Soldiers' weapon score, physical fitness test score, if they appeared before a Soldier of the Month board, previous awards, military and civilian education, deployment history, and the first line supervisors' recommendation to come up with a total point value. The Third Infantry Commander named this the Commanders Assessment Tool for Retention (CAT –R). Soldiers with the highest score would have the first opportunity to reenlist. Soldiers would have two weeks to make a decision to reenlist or not. Soldiers that elected not to reenlist went to the bottom of the OML until the next quarter. This allowed only the best–qualified Soldiers to reenlist. Just as the Army is an all–volunteer force so is retention of our Soldiers. This process led commanders to face tough decisions. By choosing, who gets to reenlist and who does not base upon how a Soldier performed, it never addressed the Soldiers future potential. The Commanding General of the Third Infantry Division (3ID) took the tri–signed letter out of context. Subjecting Soldiers to this type of treatment was wrong. These are the very same Soldiers that deployed into harms way some multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan to defeat our adversaries, and now we are questioning their service and if they are good enough.

In 2013, the Army faced yet again another obstacle federal budget sequestration.

The political will to change the current fiscal climate is weak at best. Another budget proposal will need to be passed by Congress in FY 2015 and beyond.

The Battle of the Bulge is said to be Adolf Hitler's "final, desperate gamble of the war" (Battle of the Bulge Timeline (December 16th, 1944– January 25th, 1945), n.d.).

Billie and his friend Jessie were sent to Hawaii, where they went through Basic Training together and then went to Japan. While in Japan, Billie was able to write a short letter home letting all his loved ones know he was safe. It would be the last they heard from him. He was supposed to attend a training school in Japan, but for some unknown reason was sent to Korea instead. He wouldn't be in Korea very long at all before his strength and courage would shine through and we would see what a true hero he was. After a mere eleven days in Korea, Billie joined two other men named Mullen and Rodriguez. Billie and the two other men were part of the 2th Infantry Division (Pruitt). After being with these two men for only an hour, their outfit was sent out five miles on patrol in front of the main lines to relieve another company.

  • 31. The Korean War And Its Origins Essays Russia and the United States began their relationship as allies when Russia disregarded the non aggression pact they signed with Germany in 1939, effectively sealing Germany's fate in World War II. Korea, like Germany, had been occupied by Soviet and United States forces at the end of World War II. Korea was split in half via the 38th parallel after the Japanese Empire fell near the end of the conflict. The soviets occupied the north side of the line and the Americans occupied the south. "By the end of the decade, two new states had formed on the peninsula. In the south, the anti– communist dictator Syngman Rhee (1875–1965) enjoyed the reluctant support of the American...

Later that same day the United Nations demanded that North Korea withdrawal its forces and return to its borders. Kim Il Sung disregarded this and ordered his troops to press forward and by June 29, 1950, the capital of south Korean fell to the NKPA. The United States geared up for a war against communism. Not more than a day after Seoul fell, the US had officially entered the war and had ground troops committed, an action backed by the U.N. At the beginning of the war the U.S. soldiers had little combat experience and they were in a foreign land. This was the reason for the mass casualties sustained by the U.S. "US Army casualties from June 25 through July 31, 1950 totaled 6,003: 1,884 Killed In Action, 2,695 Wounded In Action, 523 Missing In Action and 901 reported captured.

  • 33. Essay on Significance of Canada's Role in the Korean War On June 25th, 1950, North Korean forces crossed the 38th Parallel and invaded the Republic of Korea (South Korea). This was a battle between democracy and communism, where the United Nations supported the South Democrats while the Soviet Union in cooperation with China supported the North Communists. Most Canadians knew nothing about Korea during the 1950s. Despite that, the Canadian army still sent an entire brigade group to military operations there. Besides the two world wars, the Korean War remains Canada's third bloodiest oversea conflict as it left 516 Canadians killed and at least 1,200 injured.

The brigade inflicted great damage to the enemy troops with minimal casualties. Ultimately, Canada's actions earned them a United States Presidential Unit Citation and prevented the communists from crossing through the 38th Parallel and recapturing South Korean territory once again. In July 1951, after US President Truman fired General MacArthur for insubordination, Truman and his new military commanders started truce negotiations at Panmunjom. Nonetheless, battle continuously ensued across the 38th Parallel as negotiations stalled. Canada's navy played a noteworthy role in defending UN aircraft carriers for the chance to apply political pressure against North Korea. As Canada's eight naval ships defended the UN aircraft, a mass series of bombings took place on 13 hydroelectric generating facilities known as the Attacks on Sui–Ho Dam. The UN wanted to make the message clear that they were willing to make this war as difficult and expensive as possible for the communists. The strikes were successful in destroying up to 90% of North Korea's facilities and causing a blackout for 2 weeks; 23% of power was also reduced from Northeast China. Eventually, this political pressure contributed to North Korea to agree and sign armistice. Furthermore, the ships were also responsible for short bombardments and the eradication of North Korean trains and railways. Although the political pressure from the Sui–Ho Dam ...

West of the U.S. Army 4th Infantry Division is a leader doing what a leader is required to do; to lead and protect those in which he leads. LTC West was charged with communicating a threat and aggravated assault. These are serious war crimes charged to a leader who was undeserving of such implications. The villains here are the politicians who prevent soldiers like LTC West from efficiently fighting the war inIraq. LTC West a battalion officer in Iraq during on or about January of 2003 to October of 2003; made a controversial decision.

The information the policeman gave up was accurate. LTC West and his soldiers wiped out the ambush before it could cause them harm. It is unfortunate that soldiers have to fight with their hands behind their back in Iraq. And there is no doubt about it; soldiers have to do just that. Soldiers in Iraq are fighting under a dangerous environment where the next step could be their last, as loyalists of Saddam Hussein's regime attack them relentlessly. The enemy is wearing civilian clothes and hiding behind women and children. So when you ask battalion and company commanders to stop the violence against the Iraqi people and against soldiers, the pressure to use aggressive interrogation techniques seems to be reasonable. LTC West simply put his soldiers first and in doing so saved a countless number of lives. LTC West should not be pursued as a criminal but instead a hero. This act of political positioning has caused a huge wave of demoralization throughout the military; from Iraq to here at home. I can vouch for such feelings in Iraq.

The forbidding headland reaches 10 miles across at the widest point but typically reaches between 3–5 miles in breadth and stretches 45 miles in length. The land mass consists of steep, rocky slopes and deep ravines cut into steep hills. Thin, sandy beaches line the western and southernmost coastline. Key terrain included the hills of Achi Baba, overlooking Cape Helles on the southernmost tip and Sari Bair, overlooking Anzac Cove and the Asian coastline beyond. Strong ocean currents on the morning of the Battle of Anzac Cove forced the Australians to land nearly 3,000 yards north of their target. The beach here was less than forty feet wide and lined with sheer cliff faces creating a natural 200–foot tall barricade. Turkish forces had not bothered to fortify this stretch of land nor to station troops here as it was deemed an impossible landing site. Weather in the Gallipoli region was beginning to improve after a harsh and unforgiving winter. By the landing at Anzac Cove in late April, temperatures were ranging from nighttime lows in the mid–40s to daytime highs in the mid–60s. Average rainfall for April was typically around 45mm and had been particularly harsh in the middle of April, causing the planned landings at Gallipoli to be pushed back an additional three weeks.

Ardennes Offensive Advantages And Disadvantages The Allies faced various disadvantages during the Ardennes Offensive: пѓ Since the Allies had reached the German border after the Normandy landings by this time, they faced an important intelligence disadvantage. The Germans used only telephones and tele printers within the German borders. Radios were not used as the Allies had cracked Enigma by then. пѓ The Allied aircraft reconnaissance suffered due to the autumn fog and withheld them from making optimum use of air power – especially the tank–busting Typhoons of the RAF or Mustang fighters from the USAAF which would have been used against German tanks. Though the weather was typical for the Ardennes in winter, the ground was hard enough for military vehicles to cross and this suited the armored attack Hitler envisaged. пѓ Germans used charcoal instead of wood to reduce smoke detection. The Battle of Bulge Military Situation maps: 16th December 1944 On the morning of 16th December, the Germans launched an attack on the Allied forces through the Ardennes.
