This book provides groundbreaking information on the contributions of the citizen-soldiers, who are such a crucial extension of the American defense system."--Résumé de l'éditeur

Book excerpt: It is my distinct pleasure to sign the foreword to the first Air War College paper to win the General Ronald R. Fogleman Award. As we move into the next century we must appreciate the fact that the United States is a militia nation, and the large standing military of the last 50 years is an aberration. The significance of the militia nation culture cannot be underestimated, and it must be ingrained into the force designers and force maintainers of the future as tomorrow2s Air Force continues to play an important role in supporting our national security policy. In "The National Guard Citizen-Soldier," Col Mark P. Meyer provides an excellent examination of the linkage between responsible national security policy and the will of the people. He argues that for our democratic government to act responsibly, it is imperative that national policy reflects the will of the people. It is especially important when the policy involves the use of the armed forces. In the United States, the National Guard and its citizen-soldiers are an essential part of the linkage. Without the existence and use of the National Guard, the nation treads dangerously toward inconsistency between the will of the people and national security policy. Colonel Meyer builds his case on the assumption that National Guardsmen contribute to the legitimacy of the military2s role as protector of the country. Citizen-soldiers provide a unifying bond between liberal democratic society and the authoritarian hierarchy of the armed forces. Nevertheless, to make the citizen-soldier role work, employers, coworkers, and indeed families must all be supportive. Laws have been necessary to protect guards men2s reemployment rights. Born in the Nixon administration, the total force policy has finally achieved a very effective blending of Guard, Reserve, and active duty elements. American performance in the Gulf War proved it. An understanding of the principles addressed by Colonel Meyer in this paper will serve the reader well and will assure that the United States future armed forces will continue to have the support of the people of our great nation
Download or read book Citizen Soldiers written by Michael Kerrigan and published by Defending Our Nation. This book was released on 2018 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book honors the ordinary Americans who have sworn to defend their country as members of the National Guard. The role of the "citizen-soldier" is enshrined in U.S. tradition, dating back to the militias first formed by settlers in the 17th century. That same spirit of community self-defense would inspire the Minutemen, who, more than 100 years later, would rise up against the British to help establish the worlds greatest democracy. Since then, whenever America has been under threat, the National Guard has provided the country's first line of defense-not only against enemies but also in times of natural disasters. Citizen Soldiers offers an exciting introduction to the National Guard's structure and its unique constitutional status as a federal and state institution. Along the way, we explore its missions past and present and look into the special contributions to homeland defense made by the National Guard. Book jacket.

Download or read book American Political Culture 3 volumes written by Michael Shally-Jensen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 1836 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This all-encompassing encyclopedia provides a broad perspective on U.S. politics, culture, and society, but also goes beyond the facts to consider the myths, ideals, and values that help shape and define the nation. Demonstrating that political culture is equally rooted in public events, internal debates, and historical experiences, this unique, three-volume encyclopedia examines an exceptionally broad range of factors shaping modern American politics, including popular belief, political action, and the institutions of power and authority. Readers will see how political culture is shaped by the attitudes, opinions, and behaviors of Americans, and how it affects those things in return. The set also addresses the issue of American "exceptionalism" and examines the nation's place in the world, both historically and in the 21st century. Essays cover pressing matters like congressional gridlock, energy policy, abortion politics, campaign finance, Supreme Court rulings, immigration, crime and punishment, and globalization. Social and cultural issues such as religion, war, inequality, and privacy rights are discussed as well. Perhaps most intriguingly, the encyclopedia surveys the fierce ongoing debate between different political camps over the nation's historical development, its present identity, and its future course. By exploring both fact and mythology, the work will enable students to form a broad yet nuanced understanding of the full range of forces and issues affecting—and affected by—the political process.

Download or read book The Role of the National Guard s Citizen Soldier in Homeland Security written by Robert A. Sparing and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The attack on our homeland of September 11, 2001 was an attack on every American, our values, beliefs, and way of life. In January 2003, the United States Government established the Department of Homeland Security. The mission of the Department of Homeland Security is to secure the American homeland and protect the American people. The National Guard and the citizen soldier have been major players along with other federal, state and local agencies in the defense of our homeland security. This aspect of the National Guard's and the citizen soldier's role is exceedingly complex given current world affairs and the dual state and federal mission. This research paper will examine both the Department of Homeland Security and US Northern Command's mission and framework. By looking at the framework of both the Department of Homeland Security and US Northern Command, we will be able to identify their roles and missions, distinguish between the two, and understand that there is a difference. This research paper will also examine the roles and missions of the National Guard and the citizen soldier and how we are supporting and responding to our nation's needs. As we look toward the future, what impact will this new operating environment have on our state and federal missions? Finally, how do the roles and missions of the National Guard and the citizen soldier support Homeland Security and Homeland Defense?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Citizen Soldiers explores the military reform movement that took its name from the famous Business Men's Military Training Camps at Plattsburg, New York. It also illuminates the story of two exceptional men: General Leonard Wood, the rambunctious and controversial former Rough Rider who galvanized the Plattsburg Idea with his magnetic personality; and Grenville Clark, a young Wall Street lawyer. The Plattsburg camps strove to advertise the lack of military preparation in the United States and stressed the military obligation every man owed to his country. Publicized by individuals who voluntarily underwent military training, the preparedness movement rapidly took shape in the years prior to America's entry into the First World War. Far from being war hawks, the Plattsburg men emphasized the need for a "citizen army" rather than a large professional establishment. Although they failed in their major objective—universal military training—their vision of a citizen army was largely realized in the National Defense Act of 1920, and their efforts helped to establish selective service as the United States' preferred recruitment method in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Featuring a new preface by the author, this new edition of a seminal study will hit shelves just in time for the World War I Centennial.
