Download or read book HALE S HANDFUL UP FROM THE ASHES written by Major Peter S. H. Ellis USAF and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes the evolution of Seventh Air Force’s joint command and control relationships as well as the development of joint operational procedures and doctrine in the Central Pacific during World War II. As this was arguably the most “joint” theater in World War II, there are many lessons about the challenges of joint command and control and the development of joint combat procedures that are relevant to contemporary airmen. The Seventh Air Force was established in the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was initially a defensive and training oriented command—protecting Hawaii from a possible attack by the Japanese and training replacement crews for units in the South Pacific. However, in the summer of 1943, the Seventh Air Force became an offensive, mobile combat command that, along with each of the other services, played a major role in the island-hopping campaign of World War II. Major General Willis H. Hale served as the commander of the Seventh Air Force during this transition period. This study uses him as a lens to explore the unique challenges his command met and overcame. Additionally, since the Pacific Theater was on the tail end of the “Europe First” resupply policy, the Seventh Air Force was chronically under-manned and under-equipped—hence the moniker “Hale’s Handful.”

Additionally, since the Pacific Theater was on the tail end of the "Europe First" resupply policy, the Seventh Air Force was chronically under-manned and under-equipped hence the moniker "Hale's Handful." This study asks three questions in examining the development of joint command and control and operational procedures in the Central Pacific. The first question is to what extent did personalities drive the evolution of command and control relationships, and did they have an affect on the effectiveness of combat operations? This question takes on significance as this work explores General Hale's rather stormy relationship with his naval superior, Vice Admiral John H. Hoover. Along similar lines, the second question is to what extent did service cultures affect command and control and the development of joint doctrine.

The first question is to what extent did personalities drive the evolution of command and control relationships, and did they have an affect on the effectiveness of combat operations? This question takes on significance as this work explores General Hale's rather stormy relationship with his naval superior, Vice Admiral John H. Hoover. Along similar lines, the second question is to what extent did service cultures affect command and control and the development of joint doctrine. Finally, this thesis asks to what extent did this theater's unique geographic challenges affect interservice friction and the effectiveness of combat operations?This thesis concludes that all three issues influenced the development of, and effectiveness of, joint command and control and combat procedures in the Central Pacific, though not always in negative ways. On the one hand, service culture tended to aggravate an already stormy interpersonal relationship between General Hale and Admiral Hoover. On the other hand, the severity of the unique challenges in the Central Pacific tended to ameliorate personality conflicts and service parochialism as the services learned that only through teamwork could the challenges be overcome.Despite harsh lessons and early setbacks such as the costly victory at Tarawa, by the end of the war the three services' air forces developed a level of interoperability and shared doctrine that we do not have today. Additionally, this study found that interdiction and CAS were every bit as important as strategic bombing to the success of the island-hopping campaign. While the Central Pacific in World War II is not the only time US forces have had to relearn the importance of CAS, this example stands as a model of inter-service airpower that can be useful to airmen today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maggie Quinn had secluded herself nicely on her grandfather's farm in the middle of the Black Hills. Estranged from a town who didn't care to understand her, she made her own living and was able to sustain a quiet, peaceable life alone. All that was about to change. What possessed the Indian to drop the man at her doorstep? Maggie had no recourse but to lug the bullet-riddled man into her small cabin. It was an easy decision. He probably wouldn't make it through the night. In the morning, she would either be going for the doctor or the undertaker. Little did she know when she lugged him into her home, she lugged him into her quiet peaceable life. Thad Sheridan had no idea what was going on. The last thing he remembered was being tossed on the back of the Indian's horse. The ride through the prairie at breakneck speed tore at his body, the pain almost too much to bear. When the horse stopped, he hit the hard ground with an excruciating thud. He passed out. When he awoke, he was no longer lying on the hard ground but a soft bed. He closed his eyes. "Okay, Lord," he prayed, "nothing happens to me without purpose. Show me your will." Then she appeared. When the town's moral compass finds a recuperating Thad staying at Maggie's, the problems begin to mount. Maggie, determined to maintain her current independence, is surprised by Thad's solution to the problems. Can Thad help Maggie find the purpose lacking in her life? Can Maggie provide the means for Thad to fulfill his purpose?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Book excerpt: If an entire nation could seek its freedom, why not a girl? As the Revolutionary War begins, thirteen-year-old Isabel wages her own fight...for freedom. Promised freedom upon the death of their owner, she and her sister, Ruth, in a cruel twist of fate become the property of a malicious New York City couple, the Locktons, who have no sympathy for the American Revolution and even less for Ruth and Isabel. When Isabel meets Curzon, a slave with ties to the Patriots, he encourages her to spy on her owners, who know details of British plans for invasion. She is reluctant at first, but when the unthinkable happens to Ruth, Isabel realizes her loyalty is available to the bidder who can provide her with freedom. From acclaimed author Laurie Halse Anderson comes this compelling, impeccably researched novel that shows the lengths we can go to cast off our chains, both physical and spiritual.
