Download or read book Information Needs of Enlisted Soldiers when Making a Special Forces Career Decision written by Ann M. Herd and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research identifies the kinds of additional information enlisted soldiers need when considering a Special Forces (SF) career. Researchers examined existing survey data and findings from SF recruiters and new SF recruits to identify gaps in job information. In addition, they conducted structured interviews and/or surveys with enlisted SF soldiers, SF wives, and commanders and staff within the SF community to determine the specific information that recruits need. Researchers concluded that soldiers need additional information in four key areas: family-related information, Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) and SF Group assignment processes, training and preparation, and SF missions and activities. They suggested ways to address the information gaps in these areas and proposed an outline for an information booklet that could serve as a realistic job preview. The booklet will provide comprehensive, realistic information about SF to prospective recruits and may also support SF recruiter training.

Download or read book Soldiers and Civilization written by Reed R. Bonadonna and published by US Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Kipling says in "The Young British Soldier," "I'll sing you a soldier as fair as I may," he reminds us that a soldier is made of the words of poetry, history, and the laws and language of his calling. The complete solider is not only a contributor to the civilization that he or she serves. Drawing from military history, sociology, and other disciplines, Solidiers and Civilization covers the history of the military profession in the Western world from the ancient Greeks to the present day and shows how both soldiers and their civilizations have helped mold each other over time. Reed Bonadonna goes beyond traditional insights to locate the military profession in the context of both literary and cultural history, maintaining that soldiers have made an unacknowledged contribution to the theory and practice of civilization, and that they will again be called upon to do so in important ways. Throughout history soldiers have sought instruction and inspiration from the past to gain insight into modern conflicts. Military professionals of today must know, heed, and apply the examples and narrative of the most successful and exemplary of their predecessors to help advance a civilization into its future. However, this process can succeed only when it includes critical self-examination and a discourse with the larger society it serves. Soldiers and Civilization argues that the military profession, in its broadest consideration, might be viewed as an interdisciplinary branch of the humanities, a repository of important practical and abstract knowledge on armed conflict, ethics, community, and human nature. By representing and upholding the values on which civilization is founded, true military professionals provide the stability for it to thrive and create new ideas, thereby ensuring an existential symbiosis that serves and preserves both. -- from dust jacket.

Download or read book Soldiers and Scholars written by John Wesley Masland and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traditional distinction between military and political affairs in American life has become less significant as military officers increasingly participate with civilians in the formulation of national policies. In an examination of the impact of this change upon professional military education, the authors present a forthright analysis of military responsibility today, the growth of education for policy roles, the form and content of that education, and its relation to the over-all duties of the armed forces. They have used hundreds of interviews and questionnaires and studied carefully the history and programs of the military academies, ROTC, Command and Staff Schools, Armed Forces Staff College, National War College, three service War Colleges, Industrial College of the Armed Forces, and other institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOT EVERYBODY FALLS EASILY INTO A CAREER. Some careers require more soul-searching than others. Careers in the military certainly fall into this category. Military life is highly regimented and makes many demands that most other careers simply do not, like spending long periods of time away from home, moving every few years, and requiring careerists to assume great risks in the service of some very abstract ideals. The fact is, most people would not be well suited to a career in the military. What about you? Do you have what it takes to live in tents for months at a time, usually in unpleasant climates and sometimes where people you have never met are trying to kill you? Do you think you can spend all day, every day getting yelled at in basic training by superiors whose goal is to make sure you have the skills necessary to stay alive in a combat zone? Do you think you could get on a plane to the other side of the world on a few hours' notice, not knowing where you are going or when you might get back? If so, you might have what it takes to serve in the United States Army.With more than a million personnel in the active duty Army, Army Reserve and National Guard, the United States Army is by far the largest American armed service. Its soldiers are deployed across the United States and around the world 365 days a year, ready to defend the United States, its allies and interests against all enemies. The Army needs soldiers with every skill imaginable, from infantry soldiers to man the front lines, to intelligence analysts, helicopter pilots, cooks, musicians, graphic artists, linguists, scientists and many others. In fact, for every soldier posted at the front lines there are 11 soldiers in the rear, supporting their colleagues at the front.

Download or read book Soldiers and Civilization written by Reed R Bonadonna and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soldiers and Civilization covers the history of the military profession in the Western World from the ancient Greeks to the present day. Drawing from military history, sociology, and other disciplines, it goes beyond traditional insights to locate the military profession in the context of both literary and cultural history. Reed Bonadonna maintains that soldiers have made an unacknowledged contribution to the theory and practice of civilization, and that they will again be called upon to do so in important ways. The comprehensive nature of the book and the extent to which Bonadonna draws on the disciplines of the humanities to make his points set this volume apart from others on the subject. The military profession, in its broadest consideration, might be viewed as an interdisciplinary branch of the humanities. A soldier is made of the words of history, poetry, and the laws and language of his calling. With each new conflict, the military may be called upon to preserve the values of civilization. To fulfill its future role, the military professionals of today must know, heed, and apply the examples and narratives of the most successful and exemplary military professionals of the past at their best.
