Addressing the Disadvantages of Military Involvement
While the reasons for the involvement are obvious, the cons are outweighed by the advantages. Firstly, the two countries do not have to act in isolation. Military from both sides can be employed by formal consent between the two countries to better manage the borders and the diplomatic relations. Secondly, the cost of the military involvement is low as compared to the costs that are being incurred in terms of people losing their health and their lives to drugs, and by being involved in trafficking. Trafficking is a heinous social crime, which is having an adverse impact on communities in both countries, and should be prevented at all costs. Therefore humanitarian concerns justify the costs of military involvement. 
Additionally, the international conflicts and the wars that the country has been involved in are on the ideology of making lives of people in USA and the world….


In has taken more than two centuries to develop the U.S. Army's Military Decision Making Process, and while the combination of traditional Army forces (infantry, artillery, etc.) has been incorporated into it, the MDMP maintained its traditional parochial attitude toward interagency operations. But with new threats facing the United States, necessity demanded a new approach to military planning and operations; something that could incorporate all military forces to their most effective levels. This has become known as the Joint Operation Planning Process, and while similar to the MDMP, is more flexible, allows for the allocation of more resources, and is more concerned with adapting to new situations than to maintaining control over a commanders actions. And while the MDMP limited itself to traditional army forces, the JOPP allows for the incorporation of all of the military assets of the United States.

MILITAY vs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE
Military Operations vs. Police Operations

What is the best way to gather intelligence?

Strengths and weaknesses of military operations and intelligence vs. police operations and intelligence

Although there are certain similarities between the organization of the military and the police in terms of their hierarchical natures and systems of control, their mentalities regarding intelligence-gathering are very different. This makes the sharing of intelligence all the more crucial between these two protective organizations. A comparison of the military mindset with the police mindset, suggests that law enforcement officials have much to learn from their military counterparts, even though it is not realistic to entirely transpose the military approach to that of police operations.

One obvious advantage the military has in terms of its intelligence and operational capabilities is its international focus. The military has trained specialist intelligence analysts with a specific background in the regions under scrutiny. These analysts also have fluency….

Military Education
SAMS MONOGRAPH PROSPECTUS

FIED OF STUDY

The field of study will be a combination of history and operational art. The proposed topic is professional military education at the field-grade level during periods of peace. The training and actions after Armistice and after World War II will serve as case studies to help understand the topic at a deeper level.

After twelve years of conflict and two wars, what reasonable quality of training can the U.S. Army provide to field grade officers? Within this training, what can be identified as considerations for the near and long-term?

Throughout the history of United States warfare, doctrine has served as a platfrom to respond to the military environment and conditions. Military functions are therefore closely related to this environment. Hence, investigations in historical responses can inform the way in which current responses are handled. Training, especially during peace time, is an important component in this.

There are a….

Military Structure and Capabilities of North Korea
The objective of this study is to examine the military structure and capabilities for North Korea including North Korea's Army, Navy, Air Force, and Special Forces. This work will answer as to how the military is employed in the development and protection of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).

Scobell and Sanford (2007) write that since the beginning of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) in 1948 "the Pyongyang regime has had two national strategic objectives: (1) the perpetuation of the regime; and (2) reunification of the Korean Peninsula under North Korea's control." (p. viii) Lovelace writes that militarianism "has remained an essential aspect of the DPRK throughout its existence, and the armed forces constitute a central element of the regime. The Korean People's Army (KPA), the name given to all services of North Korea's military, is the core element for the realization of North….

Military education is also more values-driven and goal-oriented than traditional higher education; as Husted and West (2008) note, the military education forces its members to remain accountable at all times, often through policies such as honor codes, and students learn the value of honesty, integrity, and hard work. While it could be argued that the honor code is an unnecessarily harsh policy and therefore a disadvantage of military life, such policies pay off over the extended future as enlistees absorb the values that will become necessary in order to survive in society following graduation. Where traditional institutions for higher learning cater to the individual and do not hold people accountable, the military culture imposes consequences that make the transition into society significantly more fluid.
A possible disadvantage of military culture is that it does not provide as well-rounded an education as liberal arts colleges. To this end, those in the….

And members of the military who contemplate suicide should be helped by their fellow members, health professionals, military leaders and others in their community.
Conclusion

Problems affecting the physical and mental health of the members of the military beset its management. Causes may be known or unknown but they are not without solutions. These can range from the introduction of appropriate training programs, the application of new tools or procedures, a more realistic budgetary allocation to greater responsiveness and cooperation among members and their support groups.

Military as a Job in
PAGES 4 WORDS 1417

Several of them indicated that in today's hot economy, a college graduate could earn a lot of money. Several of them had anecdotes of college graduates whose entry pay was significantly higher than the entry pay and bonuses being offered in the survey" (p. 109). This study also found that all of the high school seniors surveyed "had a negative view of the military as a job or career option. They all considered the military to involve dangerous work, and they thought the amount of money being offered did not compensate adequately for the perceived danger" (Asch et al., p. 109).
The majority of the respondents in this study also reported having great confidence that jobs and careers were sufficiently available for college graduates and that having a guarantee of a job from the military was not much of a benefit. For instance, Asch and her associates note, "Several participants….

etired or dismissed soldiers were not subdued to physical punishments such as whipping, so police could do nearly nothing even in the case of open public aggression or hooliganism. Absence of alternative to heavy drinking in the army created such attitudes, according to..:
Unfortunately in the Guards, as far as I know, there was nothing like educational recreation facilities and the soldiers were deprived of any sort of recreation for their whole period of service. This isolation had a bad effect on the health and the morals of the lower ranks. They lived for six years far from their families and homes, repeating, with machine-like regularity, the same drills, which would bore even the most patient. And so in order to relax somehow flagons and bottles of vodka were brought into the barracks at any opportune moment. Neither repressive measures nor strict supervision helped in the struggle with soldiers' drinking….


False promises are used in conjunction with confusing language and enrollment packages to confuse recruits. What military recruiters are not required to do is actually explain the implications of joining the military. Once an individual signs the papers that legally bind him to the military, the binding agreement is only binding to the individual, and not to the government. The implication is that the government at any time does not need to keep promises made during recruitment. Recruiters understand this doctrine and as a result they take severe liberty in providing every sort of guarantee and promises in the hope of confusing families and individuals into signing the documentation. Once a recruit is fully compliant, there is in effect owned by the military, with its own set of laws and procedures that have no democratic or equality appeals attached. Military recruiters never explain this to recruits, but instead confuse them….

That would likely be true of any company or organization that used PBL with success, and the military is no exception to that. Even though it is the government, it is still a business and the military has to be run as a part of that business. While the military's job is not to make money (such as would be seen in corporate America, for example), its job is to be efficient and provide high-quality work and know-how for the price that is being spent on it by the DOD. Any way that can be done more effectively without compromising the safety of the troops or the quality of the goods and services that they receive is something that should be carefully considered.
Key Data Findings

Current battlefield logistics are different from what was seen in the past. Prior to 2005, and most clearly prior to 2001, the DOD was much….

Military Intervention
Is Military Intervention in Other Countries Justifiable?

The Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms defines military in tervention as "The deliberate act of a nation or a group of nations to introduce its military forces into the course of an existing controversy." The United States military has been intervening in other countries for a long time. In 1898, it seized the Philippines, Cuba, and Puerto Rico from Spain and in 1917-18 became embroiled in orld ar I in Europe. In the first half of the 20th century it repeatedly sent Marines to protectorates such as Nicaragua, Honduras, Panama, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. In 1941, after the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. became embroiled in orld ar II. The second half of the twentieth century include military interventions in Korea, several countries in the Middle East, the Dominican Republic, Chile, Guatemala, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Nicaragua,….

Military Trauma and PTSD
PAGES 2 WORDS 768

Military MST
Military sexual trauma (MST) is a serious issue for both servicemen and servicewomen. MST can cause mental and physical illness and impair one's ability to interact socially with others.

To be explicit, MST is defined by the National Center for PTSD as unwelcome sexual attention including gender harassment, unwanted sexual attention, unwanted sexual attention, sexual coercion, sexual assault, and rape (Street & Stafford, 2009).

MST is on the rise. According to the Department of Defense, gender and sexual harassment increased 11% across all military services, and 16% within the combat zones of Afghanistan and Iraq (DoD 2010).

It is the purpose of this paper to examine the culture of the military through the PEN-3 model to explain how military culture fosters MST.

Dr. Collins Airhihenbuwa of Penn State's Biobehavioral Health Dept. developed the PEN-3 model to put culture at the forefront of health promotion. The PEN-3 model consists of three paradigms for understanding….

Military Partnerships
The National esponse Framework (NF) "provides context for how the whole community works together and how response efforts relate to other parts of national preparedness" (FEMA, 2014). The NF notes that normally, the Department of Defense has a critical role to play in national defense, and therefore its resources are only committed to disaster relief at the discretion of the President, or on approval of the Secretary of Defense.

According to the NF, the National Guard contributes in a number of ways to disaster response: emergency medical response, communications, logistics, search & rescue, civil engineering, decontamination and response to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear attacks (FEMA, 2014). The governor has the ability to activate the National Guard as a means of supporting state activities, and the state adjutant general "may assign members of the Guard to assist with state, regional, and Federal civil support plans."

Under normal circumstances, the National Guard….
