Individualized Studies: Military Studies and Business Management. I am pursuing a Bachelors of Science Degree with a concentration on Individual Studies. I chose this degree because it allows students to combine professional studies with liberal arts and science into a cohesive course of study, and because I can create a course of study which relates quite closely to my field, and my career goals for the future. This course of study combines the technical aspects of logistics with business management, and relies on the experiences I have already gained working for the Department of Defense (DOD) in logistics.
What do Military Studies and Business Management involve?
Certainly, this course of study involves critical thinking, leadership, management techniques, and organizational behavior, which are all classes leading up to my degree. I have already completed Critical Thinking, Introduction to Business, Organizational Behavior, National Security Affairs, Leadership Management, Management Technology, Information Management, Personnel Supervision, and Supply Management, and each of these classes has given me useful and valid knowledge I can use every day on the job.
My job entails detailed logistical planning, and much of what I do is highly classified. National Security Affairs and Critical Thinking both gave me tools to manage my logistical planning more effectively, while dealing with the everyday problem of keeping what I do effectively secret and secure. These are highly important considerations...
While I cannot go into great detail about my career demands, and how these classes have enhanced them, I can say that my career goals are more defined as a result of my studies so far, and my career has certainly become more focused, more effective, and more successful as a result of the classes I have completed so far.
Because my goal is to move into a management position, the classes on management have been especially interesting and useful to me. I have been able to put them into good use on my level as I deal with my co-workers and colleagues, and in addition, I have been able to see my managers effectively use some of the tools I have recently learned. I can see that the management techniques from these classes apply to all levels of my career, and as I move up from my current position, I will be able to utilize nearly all of them on a day-to-day basis. For example, the next step up from my current position includes the management of positions like mine, and I do not currently manage any other employees. I have found the management techniques in Leadership Management and Management Technology to be especially enlightening and applicable to my situation because I am not currently involved in management. They have made me more aware of how I deal with others in my department…
Military Emergency Management/Terrorism Preparedness It is reported in the work of Prelas, et al. (2009) entitled "Science and Technology of Terrorism and Counterterrorism" that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on March 1, 2003, and is charged with the reduction of the "loss of life and property and protect the national from all hazards" including acts of terrorism.

Many food companies have expressed an interest in the concept, Darsch says, although he notes that the material is not in wide use yet (Erickson, at (http://www.mercola.com/artcile/irradiated/irradiated_research.htm). When Operation Desert Shield and the subsequent Desert Storm erupted, Darsch says, Natick was able to accelerate research on high heat stable chocolate bars. The resulting product, which can withstand temperatures as high as 120°F without compromising quality, arrived in the Persian Gulf

Managing Across Cultures Internationalization of the economy has influenced companies to operate their business globally. The global operation has impact managers with several challenges. Market, product, and production plans must be coordinated on a worldwide basis. The global operation necessitates organization structure to balance centralized home-office control with adequate local autonomy.

Military Leadership Looking at my own cooperative work in a hospital as a leader for an intensive care unit, I can see how I use all three types of leadership that have been covered in the lessons on the American experience of the Vietnam War: strategic thinking, tactical planning, and logistics. In fact, not only do I incorporate all three of those skill sets in my daily work in a mission-driven
