Candidate Graybill began his LRC II tactical mission communicating an unsatisfactory brief due to failure to perform multiple sections such as SOM, Coordinating Inst, Admin/Logistics, and Command/Signal. When he began to execute he had to brief coordinating instructions slowing down his FT. SNC only briefed tasks that had some elements of a SOM but ambiguity still existed. The ambiguity caused SNC to brief all courses of action in a step by step action. Only due to his quick adjustments and delegation during friction was he able to keep his s moving to mission accomplishment. As the execution continued, Candidate Graybill began to be more effective in communicating his intent, and adjust during points of friction. Despite the inability
Candidate McKillop was able to brief a five paragraph order that included most sub-paragraphs, except for an initial scheme of maneuver. During the delivery, SNC sounded nervous and often used filler words. His inability to brief confidently and lacking a scheme of maneuver caused him to have a delayed execution since he had to brief all of the mission details again.

Upon the first friction point, SNC remained calm and was able to devise a new plan and maintained

Candidate Passafume's brief was confident and clear. His order included a complete enemy situation utilizing the SALUTE acronym. SNC had an initial plan. His initial plan did not include key elements to drive the mission such as how to enter into the sewage system. Prior to execution, SNC spent an elongated period to explain each miniscule task.

SNC stated that friendly units were northwest of the current location instead of friendly units being one mile north then west along Guadalcanal. Without this information SNC’s brief was inaccurate. Though SNC was confident during his brief, he did not have the attention of his squad as members who were focusing in different directions staring into the trees or cleaning their nails. The squad's lack of attention was ignored by the squad leader. After engaging the enemy SNC was informed that he sustained casualties and the bridge was covered by enemy fire
Candidate Dowd began his evolution with a disjointed order. Though SNC briefed the Orientation and Situation paragraphs well, he bounced around the remainder of the order throughout the rest of his brief in the order of Mission paragraph, Coordinating Instructions, Command and Signal, Administration and Logistics, billet assignments, and Scheme of Maneuver. During the billet assignments, Candidate Dowd could not decide which fire team member would have which billet, changing his mind several times during assignments.

What might have been the setback we previously faced in making decisive, clear or sound effective decisions? Was it a defect in how Commanders and Leaders led units or troops, or perhaps the philosophy in which we chose to command and control every aspect of the battlefield? What does it mean to recognize or comprehend the art of Command and the science of Control? The six principles of mission command are key in developing a cohesive team that will support all aspects of the mission. Asking “why” is now encouraged when it pertains to certain situations or missions. Understanding the purpose of why a course of action or desired outcome is necessary, leads to mission success and a cohesive unit with thinking leaders. Thinking clearly usually isn’t an issue for most leaders, but position an individual in a situation of extreme stress or complexity, then there might be a reason to be concerned. Through
World War I caused suffering, pain, and devastation throughout the world. World War I was from 1914 to 1918. This war had many causes and results which Remarque used to help write his novel, All Quiet on the Western Front.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze one of Travis Hirsch’s theory and expand the theory in which it applies to serial killer Edmund Kemper also known as The Co-ed Butcher (Bonn, 2104). Social bond theory explains that delinquency is the result of absence of control by bonds and society (Krohn & Massey, 1980). The factor that caused Kemper to start his killing spree was due to his inexperienced social bond with his parents while growing up. Also, his continued abuse led him to be nonsocial in society. As a result, we will look further into the explanation of social bond theory and the four components, and then apply them to Kemper’s delinquent behavior, along with the examination of this theory which could have prevented him from becoming a murderer.
