The SSA was finally able to establish nationwide communications, as well as communications with Army units in the field. President St. Michael, Parliament and General Grayson were ecstatic. They believed it was a brand new era for the country, now all they needed to do defeat the armed forces of the United States. Now that communications were established they were received daily intelligence reports from the farthest reaches of the country. Especially, those areas that bordered the US and US forces within the SSA. President St. Michael and General Grayston saw the intelligence reports far differently. President St. Michael saw the reports as positive, that they were making great strides against the great Satan. The President felt …show more content…
In addition, they now had two trains, both for military uses, steam locomotives that they had liberated from local museum’s, however these were very old passenger trains and need some work to convert them to troop transports and to be able to move military vehicles. Yes, things were starting to look brighter, but then needed the US Air Force bases and US Army bases that were in their country. Things were certainly starting to take shape, but he needed to know where the bombers were coming from, once he learned that he could do something about it. His intelligence apparatus was only starting to gear up, now that communications had been established throughout the country. It was certainly an exciting time, but he felt that the President’s attitude to be far too positive and believing that the almighty will protect them. It was the same attitude that Muslims used in the Middle East when the United States was bombing the hell out of them, it didn’t help them then and it won’t help the SSA now. Second Division had secured the perimeter of Dublin and MG Holcomb had taken command with General Grayston’s permission. He and his staff had designed a defense plan for Dublin which they believed to be solid. However, it wouldn’t stop two divisions hitting them, the 82nd Airborne and the 3rd Infantry, both heading their way. Reports from the field stated that the 82nd was twenty miles
On 07/12/2016, at approx. 1611 hours, I was requested to make contact with the victims referencing a hearing scheduled for 07/18/2016.
Iraida (PSA) received a call from Ileana who requested the HCSS to leave. As per Ileana, the HCSS had an attitude and they weren’t getting along. She requested the HCSS to leave her at her MD office and she’d be taken home by transportation. Ileana alleged the HCSS was talking badly about her to the MD office staff (HCSS denies this). Ileana was informed that we wouldn’t be able to leave her alone. SC was informed of situation and attempted to speak to Ileana over the phone. Ileana couldn’t speak since she was being seen by the MD. Aide was able to redirect Ileana and calm her down. She allowed the HCSS to accompany her back home. HCSS is refusing to return to the case.
COL Prescott’s understanding of operational variables (PMESII-PT) and mission variables (METT-TC) contributes to his mission command effectiveness. In Battles of the Revolutionary War (Wood), COL Prescott demonstrates his grasp of these variables by determining the British forces’ strength, the morale condition of his own men and the effective location from which his orders say defend. The 6000 British soldiers’ training and equipment outstrip the colonists in every aspect. To deny the British from seizing Dorchester Heights, COL Prescott’s understanding of the current situation gave way to his effective planning that was effective in his visualization of the defense mission.
I had to order them to move back into line on the right wing. As the attacks and counter attacks of the 15th Alabama and 20th progressed, men became scrambled into smaller groups and attacks from the right wing eventually pushed the left wing of the 20th Maine to higher ground. Intervals of the struggle were seized to gather ammunition from the cartridge boxes of the disabled friend or foe on the field as ammunition ran low. Far to the rear of the 20th Maine, our men and those of the 83rd Pennsylvania and 44th New York Regiments began receiving fire from the right end of the 15th Alabama line at higher ground . It was then that Lieutenant Martin Van Buren Gifford who was sent by Captain Woodward of the 83rd to ask if we had been turned, but I denied and asked for a company to shore up our left wing . Captain Woodward couldn’t spare a company but fortunately, he would pull back the left wing of his regimental line and straighten it to the left, closing the gap between the 83rd, for me to move my right wing to the left. However, continued attacks by the left wing of the 15th Alabama forced companies E, I, K, and D of the 20th Maine to fall back up the slope of Little Round Top . Heavy fire opened from a scrub wood in the valley in two lines in rank by the right, taking us by surprise. By then, ammunition was soon exhausted and our men were
Locomotives could transport thousands of troops to there destination in a very quick manner.. For example, Herman Haught rendered a strategy that was used at Gettysburg to transport the wounded. Herman Haught 's strategy was very effective in moving wounded soldiers. Two thousand to four thousand injured troops at a time. Another, fantastic example is during the first Battle of Manassas when the Confederates sent reinforcement troops with a locomotive causing a victory over the Union. Another example, is the Battle of Chickamauga when President Abraham Lincoln sent twenty thousand reinforcement troops in just eleven days from Washington, D.C. to Georgia. Locomotive were used for transporting the wounded and reinforcements during the United States of America 's civil war, but locomotives were also extremely effective at transporting resources such as guns, horses, food, and anything needed.
The purpose of this speech was, overall, to address the tragic acts of terrorism. President Bush accomplishes this in an informative and effective manner through his elegiac tone throughout the speech. This mournful way of writing gives a respectful and empathetic feeling to the address. This is incredibly important, as many people were feeling grief, loss, fear, and heartache at the time. Another purpose for the speech is to call the American people to action. President Bush, through his use of imperative statements, successfully rallies his audience to action. After describing some upcoming changes to the government, he said “These measures are essential. But the only way to defeat terrorism as a threat to our way of life is to stop it, eliminate it, and destroy it where it grows” (“George Bush Speech”). This imperative statement gets the audience feeling determined to do their part to destroy terrorism. Soon after, he said, “I have a message for our military: Be ready. I’ve called the Armed Forces to alert, and there is a reason. The hour is coming when America will act, and you will make us proud” (“George Bush Speech”). This specifically calls the military to action, which is a critical aspect of the speech. President Bush also uses this speech as an opportunity to thank people who made a difference in the tragic event, saying “I thank the Congress for its leadership at such an important time”, “I thank the world for its outpouring of support”, and, “…I thank you for your
Bush uses his presidential platform to help alleviate the fear of the American people. In doing this he had to act poised, calm, and professional as his predecessors had to in times of catastrophe and tragedy. Bush had been in the middle of a book reading at an elementary school in Florida at the time of the attack. As soon as the attack happened Bush was contacted and immediately boarded Air Force One, flew from Florida to Washington D.C., made this address to the nation, and finally he flew to New York to aid the first responders in the cleanup of the wreckage. This showed professionalism on Bush’s part because he had dropped everything to help his country. This made the people want
The Bureau of Military Information (BMI), founded by General Hooker in 1863, was directed by George Sharpe. A vast collection of reports from the BMI were discovered at the National Archives in 1959 by Edwin Fishel. These reports disclosed that, in contrast to Pinkerton’s system, Sharpe’s unit used a host of sources in gathering intelligence, including cavalry, spies, balloonists, Signal Corps observers, scouts, and interrogations of prisoners and deserters. By merging the information gathered from all of his sources, Sharpe was able to provide Hooker with a comprehensive description of enemy standing. General Grant, who initially placed minimal importance upon intelligence gathering, came to view intelligence as a vital tool and depended upon Sharpe’s reports and the activity of the BMI to provide him with secret information. In fact, “the BMI became an integral part of Grant’s successful campaign to neutralize the Shenandoah Valley and to stretch Lee’s manpower to the brink of collapse.”

The Battle at Midway was a critical turning point of the war in the Pacific during World War II. Attribution to American success is in direct relation to their ability to conduct signal collection and crypto-analysis leading to the battle. The elimination of this capability from consideration during the preparation for this battle will drastically influence the outcome. Through critical reasoning and battle analysis, this paper will determine the level of effect of the capability. The analysis will also seek to understand the change in outcome as a result of this change to history. The product of this analysis will be a thorough understanding of the importance of intelligence capability to United States success during World War II.
The 1776 united States of America Declaration of Independence contain the words that succinctly describe our national objective, strategy, and message, “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” In today’s United States of America, the world acknowledges American’s as the preeminent owner of individual freedoms, holding and promoting these three basic principles for some 240 years. During these years, the U.S. has employed the use of intelligence to shape its objectives and strategies, and then in times of war used the same intelligence to shape strategic messages against foreign powers. However, as hostilities decline and give way to the restoration of relative peace, the use of intelligence for strategic messages against foreign powers ceases. Under these circumstances, the void created by secession of U.S. messages, provides a communication opportunity to foreign powers for transmission of anti-U.S. messages. Attempts have been made to reinstate the offices that during war countered these anti-U.S. messages to a comprehensive reorganization of the U.S Government intelligence community. This paper does not support creation of a new agency or department to utilize existing strategic intelligence.
I believe the purpose behind George W. Bush's words, were to unite the country in strength, but also to prove to possible future terrorists (as well as Al Qaeda) that we are not weak. We are a united country, and not even the bombing in a popular marketing city like New York can break that unity. His reference of "one Sunday in 1941", spoke of the Pearl Harbor bombing. I believe he mentioned this not only for the importance of it being on of our first terror attacks, but also to show the American public we have defeated terrorism once before. The same goes for the other conflicts he acknowledged. His comment of "a lengthy campaign" was a citation that winning this battle with past terrorism and upcoming conflicts that have been seen, will
Railroads have learned that technical innovations improve safety and efficiency. In times of war and peace these qualities have been relied on by many countries. Trains have impacted many areas of life. Trains were used to carry out acts of war by Germany during WWII. This resulted in the building of the German Armored train and the German K5 Gunship train. In the United States the Pullman car was used to build hospital trains to treat the wounded soldiers. 44 million servicemen and women were transported from the end of 1941 to June 1945 by railway in America to the ports. Railroads carried more than 90 per cent of the military’s freight which included tanks, ammunition, and fuel. New technologies resulted from the war. Improved tanks
The story I choose to cover this quarter is “With April 29th Deadline Looming, Social Security Leaves 1.2 Million Boomers Hanging”. Recently a new law “The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015” was passed in November, that states that if you turn 66 between the time period of April 30 – 31st you have four options to on how you can file your retirement benefit. “Option one you can file for your retirement benefit and suspend its collection (since the new law does not preclude anyone doing that on an ongoing basis), option two provide anyone benefits on your work record while your retirement benefit remained in suspension, option three collect benefits on anyone else’s work record while your benefit was in suspension, and option four could not change your mind down the road and request all suspended benefits be paid in a lump sum (Kotlikoff, Laurence )”.
President George Bush had only been president for eight months prior to the 9/11 attacks. Having to take on such a huge responsibility such as dealing with the attacks was very overwhelming, especially after his month long vacation in his home town of Texas. He came back soon to figure out that the one event would define his entire presidency. Following these horrific acts, many changes were made to the United States; most of them were the ones he had claimed to do in his memorable speech that unfortunate night. He tells the country that “Our military is powerful and it’s prepared” (Bush, paragraph 9)
