What is the Art of Leadership Mission command is defined in the Army Doctrine Publication 6-0 as “the exercise of authority and direction by the commander using mission orders to enable disciplined initiative within the commander's intent to empower agile and adaptive leaders in the conduct of unified land operations” (McBride & Snell, 2017). The philosophy and concepts of mission command can be found in the six guiding principles of mission command, which are: 1) using mutual trust to build a cohesive team, 2) creating a sense of shared understanding, 3) being clear about what the commander’s intent is, 4) exercising an initiative that is disciplined, 5) using mission orders, and 6) accepting prudent risk (Hutchings, 2018). Thus, one can see that the most important concepts in the philosophy of mission command are trust, communication, understanding, discipline, guidance and prudence. This paper will show how I plan to apply the philosophy and concepts of mission command…...

There is a need to train Division and Corps formations on Full Spectrum Operations in a Contemporary Operational Environment, and simultaneously train atrophied or non-resident major combat operating (MCO) skills while sustaining recently learned Stability and Counter-Insurgency Operations skills. This training must be accomplished with no addition resources/funding.

Purpose of the Research

The purpose of this research is to provide an alternative approach to the way MCTP currently conducts its training exercises. The intent is the proposed construct will provide efficient ways to train units and maximize limited resources. Gen. Casey 2007 during an

Securing Dan PatanIntroductionWhen applied correctly, mission command can provide a high degree of flexibility and creativity in the execution of military operations. When applied incorrectly, however, it can lead to confusion and chaos. Accordingly, it is important for commanders to carefully consider when and how to apply the seven principles of mission command in order to achieve the desired effect on the battlefield. The seven principles are: Competence, Mutual trust, Shared understanding, Commander\\\'s intent, Mission orders, Disciplined initiative and isk acceptance. This paper will analyze and evaluate each principle with regard to Gaitleys (n.d.) Securing Dan Patan. In Securing Dan Patan: A US Infantry Squad\\\'s Counterinsurgency Program in an Afghan Village, Scott J. Gaitley provides an in-depth look at the US militarys efforts to secure the village of Dan Patan against Taliban insurgents. He focuses on the role of a small infantry squad in carrying out a counterinsurgency program that…...

GEOINT Role in Responding to Hurricane Katrina
The American federal government's response operation in the aftermath of the 2005 disaster, Hurricane Katrina, establishes a crucial military necessity of improving the nation's evaluation, decision-making, and response processes. Operational art, design and other similar concepts apparently offer a means for framing the operational issue. However, both the aforementioned elements are unable to effectively improve commanders' capacity of grasping the condition. Processes like those mentioned above prove inadequate when it comes to solving key questions and conveniently translating into missions for troops to execute. The process of situation evaluation commences with the examination of a map by military staff members and commands. This is where GEOINT (Geospatial Intelligence) comes in. GEOINT refers to an emergent subfield in the intelligence domain responsible for offering comprehensive information analyses, an operational environment evaluation, and a way to examine potential issues which might surface. GEOINT represents the utilization…...

Mission and vision statements are important ways for organizations to express their purpose and goals; they are also important methods of establishing organizational culture. Developing clear mission and vision statements provide "synergy" for the members of the organization, a sense of worth and direction; and a basis for planning and strategy (David, 2011, p. 50). Moreover, large organizations especially benefit from clear mission and vision statements in that they help the members to reconcile their differences and resolve divergent views (David, 2011, p. 50). A mission statement and a vision statement are similar in their impact on the organization, but different in that a mission expresses "who we are" and "reason for being," whereas a vision expresses "what we want to become," (David, 2011, p. 44-45). Mission statements set the tone and "ensure unanimity of purpose within an organization," and vision statements offer employees motivation for work that goes beyond…...

Multinational Command Structures
According to the DOD Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms command and control is the "exercise of authority and direction by a properly designated commander over assigned and attached forces in the accomplishment of the mission. Command and control functions are performed through an arrangement of personnel, equipment, communications, facilities, and procedures employed by a commander in planning, directing, coordinating, and controlling forces and operations in the accomplishment of the mission -- Also called C2" Staff officers and enlisted personnel assist commanding officers with the bi-directional flow of information with their subordinate military units. This information categorically represents the basis for command decisions, which are further characterized by effective management of the resources of units.

command system (ICS) as defined by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is 'a standardized, on-scene, all-hazards incident management approach' used by all governmental levels in any type of incident however complex.
Features of an Incident command system

ICS integrates a number of management features that add up to the efficiency and strength of the system as a whole. The incident commander creates needed sections and delegates operations to other personnel. Features of an ICS include:

Standardization- since communication is absolutely critical, use of a common terminology will assist in defining organizational functions, position titles, resource description and incident facilities would be quite relevant. Plain English is the standard way to communicate; codes and jargon should not be allowed. It would be extremely hard for one to relate to someone from Japan who does not understand English to convey information that is relevant in helping curb a particular incident; this mission will end…...

Command aspects of medical care

It will be necessary for a Soldier at AD or ADT to submit to medical care which is important for the survival of his or her life, lessen excessive suffering, or secure or preserve the health of others. The examination of any Soldier may be ordered by Commanders when necessary. It will be decided by the medical treatment facility (MTF) commander whether the hospitalization of the Soldier is appropriate. Emergency medical care that is necessary to save the life, fitness, or aptness for duty of the Soldier may be executed. The attending physician determines this. If the Soldier should decline treatment required, and the unit commander is not present, the hospital commander may demand the treatment given. It will be made sure by the Commanders that Soldiers are educated about the significance behind both regular and theater-specific or threat-specific…...

U.S. Military Chain of Command
The traditional wars that have followed the Europeans models developed by Napoleon basically incorporate the leadership in writing and training troops for rules of engagement. ules of Engagement (OE) is described as a management tool that help in keeping soldiers within control and aligned with the specific mission. This management tool has contributed to benefits and costs in which training OE in each leadership level down to the individual soldiers enables every participant to make responsible decisions and achieve the mission as stated by the battlefield commander. Notably, the chain of command basically consists of various levels since it links everyone in the uniformed service ranging from the senior ranks to the junior ranks as well as the United States President. An important example that correlates an understanding of rules of engagement with limited war ideology is the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War incorporates various levels…...

Mission, Vision, Strategy

Zale's spent 2011 seeking to turn the company around. ith falling incomes and several consecutive years of losses, Zale's has been forced to reconsider its strategy in the marketplace. In general, terms, the company's strategy appears to fit somewhere in between cost leadership and differentiation. hile Zale's seeks to differentiate itself based on the brands that it has, the company's large retail presence hints at a strategy that should emphasize cost leadership, as it seeks to "re-establish the price/value proposition." Overall, Zale's is probably in a difficult position because it excels neither as a high-end diamond retailer or a low cost retailer, instead falling somewhere in the middle ground that Porter's warns is a recipe for failure in the long run (QuickMBA, 2010). The company does not appear to publish a mission statement or a vision statement.

Vietnam War has gone down in history as one of the worst war efforts made by the United States for its sheer cost in human capital and the collective sanity of the nation. While many social and psychological issues can be cited as bearing the blame for the atrocity that was this war, one major challenge was the basic lack of communication and consistency among the levels of command. Individual soldiers, for example, were given commands and rules of engagement without really being informed of the rationale behind these (Close Air Support, 2014). Furthermore, there was no debate among the various levels of command regarding the best way forward in terms of rules of engagement. Those in the midst of battle were not free to proceed according to the demands of the situation; they were basically bound by the theories and ideals of those in command, including those in the…...

Christian Church acknowledges its missionary function as truly the core of Christianity, the heart of the Church. Through Christ's teachings, mission is the foreground of His legacy to the Church, the instrument for redemption. The guiding principles at the basis of the Church's mission exist as transparently related by the ible which in itself transcends all worldly knowledge and phenomena. God, as the Holy Trinity, reveals Himself through the biblical record in order to communicate with man candidly and openly, sends His only son into the world in order to claim Him back to the offspring of wholeness, and puts forth a missionary pattern for His followers: "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."

Thesis statement: The concept of mission command outlined in Army Doctrine Publication 6-0 not only empowers subordinate leaders to make informed decisions in complex and chaotic environments but also fosters a culture of trust, initiative, and shared understanding within military organizations. This empowerment of subordinate leaders plays a crucial role in contributing to overall military strategy by allowing for decentralized decision-making that is based on a clear understanding of the commander's intent and the mission's purpose. By entrusting decision-making authority to lower levels, mission command enables agile and adaptive responses to changing circumstances on the battlefield, ultimately enhancing the overall effectiveness....
