Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume includes a timely and instructive treatment of the fundamental elements of command and control and its historical usage; a solid description of command and control in operational warfare applications; and a practical approach to analyzing its contribution to creating the right balance in combining fighting elements and command and control elements into a combat force structure. Trading off investments in "shooters" versus 'radios' rarely works in favor of radios, especially with a declining budget. On the other hand, as a result of Desert Storm, in the future contingencies will be the most likely scenarios, rather than global nuclear war. Joint and combined operations are now the standard for US warfighting. Clearly, the lessons of how much combat leverage was provided by command and control systems are self-evident. The Airborne Warning and Control System, Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System, Airborne Battlefield Command and Control Center, and Rivet Joint strategic reconnaissance aircraft are prime examples of leveraging combat capability. Fortunately, the build- up time to Desert Storm provided the breathing room to introduce and integrate a powerful set of command and control systems to conduct a sustained, complex air campaign with a single Air Tasking Order for all the US air components as well as the coalition air forces. The ground war didn't last long enough to test the Combined Air Land Command and Control System. Nevertheless, the lessons are there to be learned and this lucid analysis of the command and control function ought to be required reading for all service operators as well as the Joint Force Commanders and their staffs who will have to plan for future contingency operations with a much reduced warfighting force structure.

Book excerpt: Books of advice are apt to be dry and uninteresting; no one, however, can find this fault with the present volume. The store of shrewd and kindly observation; the numerous illustrations and anecdotes marked by a dry humor which is itself irresistible; and the personal reminiscences of a man who has mingled with all sorts and conditions of men, unite to add unusual interest.With a view to illustrating the rules laid down by P. T. Barnum, sketches of the lives of successful men are given in the second part of the book. These include a wide variety of the famous and successful - Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, James Garfield, Horace Greeley, Thomas Edison, Daniel Webster, Samuel Morse, John Wanamaker, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Henry Ward Beecher, Jay Gould, Marshall Field, and many more.The third part of the book is a concise history of money, banks, and banking, with such provocative chapter titles as: What Is A Dollar?, Shall We Demonetize Silver?, Can Paper Be Made a Perfect Money?, Are Banks Beneficial?, and Investment vs. Speculation.The book is known to have been read and owned by Mark Twain.

Book excerpt: This book, "Target Washington," is based upon a couple assumptions. The first assumption being that many events foretold here are based upon real and hard facts. However, it was necessary to put a slight twist within some of these facts in order not to unwittingly endanger National Security. Back during the Vietnam war I had proudly served in the United States Air Force. A brief overview of what my mission statement was was that I would train the South Vietnamese officers combat mission control of targeting and directing fighter interceptors to down enemy targets. I was one of the IPS Airman (Interceptor Pilot Simulator) that conducted military training for select Vietnamese officers during the Vietnam war, holding up to a Top Secret clearance with the Air Force. So, the military is the right hand of this civilian government, no matter what one may think. And it has been my privilege to have been involved with government projects at various intervals in my life, from being sworn in as "Secretary of the Democratic Party" in Hernando County Florida by the then Judge Karen Thurman, whom is now a Congresswoman, and campaigning for Rep. Graham back in the eighty's to the grassroots efforts of the Obama Campaign for the Presidency. So, with that being said, it is within this second assumption that when a real team of operatives were sent out to seek and destroy their target, Osama Bin Laden... what actually happened? And with Sam Haggard, the main character in this book, he reflects the brightness of his dedication and professional greatness, like his father, he got the job done when his country most depended upon him! But through a series of event's, the U.S. government finds a way to screw him over! It's time for revenge! You be the judge!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dollars and Sense: Or How to Get on the Whole Secret in a Nutshell With a View of illustrating to a certain extent the rules laid down by Mr. Barnum, sketches Of the lives Of successful men are given. The history Of persons whose lives and experience have been worthy Of emulation always commands the interest Of mankind. Life is so short that we are all compelled to avail ourselves Of the experience Of others if we would achieve the best results in the briefest time. In perfect touch with these cheerful and encouraging chapters lies the money problem, its relation to human needs, to commerce, to art, and to civilization. From whence comes the dollar and whither it goes, is an ever interesting topic Of thought and speculation. In it is involved the science of banking, and the principles Of our nation's financial policy. More especially does this money question beat in harmony with the secret Of suc cess in life when shorn Of its technical mysteries and lifted into the broad sunlight Of the mind untrained in economic theories. Such is the happy tenor in which the subject has been here unfolded by the author Of the third part Of this work, and in those closing pages will the reader find much that 15 useful and instructive upon an expanding and ever important subject.

Download or read book The World Wide Military Command and Control System evolution and effectiveness written by David Eric Pearson and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps the best single way to summarize it is to view the book as a bureaucratic or organizational history. What the author does is to take three distinct historical themes-organization, technology, and ideology and examine how each contributed to the development of WWMCCS and its ability (and frequent inability) to satisfy the demands of national leadership. Whereas earlier works were primarily descriptive, cataloguing the command and control assets then in place or under development, The book offers more analysis by focusing on the issue of how and why WWMCCS developed the way it did. While at first glance less provocative, this approach is potentially more useful for defense decision makers dealing with complex human and technological systems in the post-cold-war era. It also makes for a better story and, I trust, a more interesting read. By necessity, this work is selective. The elements of WWMCCS are so numerous, and the parameters of the system potentially so expansive, that a full treatment is impossible within the compass of a single volume. Indeed, a full treatment of even a single WWMCCS asset or subsystem-the Defense Satellite Communications System, Extremely Low Frequency Communications, the National Military Command System, to name but a few-could itself constitute a substantial work. In its broadest conceptualization, WWMCCS is the world, and my approach has been to deal with the head of the octopus rather than its myriad tentacles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is paying for things painful? Why are we comfortable overpaying for something in the present just because we’ve overpaid for it in the past? Why is it easy to pay $4 for a soda on vacation, when we wouldn’t spend more than $1 on that same soda at our local grocery store? We think of money as numbers, values, and amounts, but when it comes down to it, when we actually use our money, we engage our hearts more than our heads. Emotions play a powerful role in shaping our financial behavior, often making us our own worst enemies as we try to save, access value, and spend responsibly. In Dollars and Sense, bestselling author and behavioral economist Dan Ariely teams up with financial comedian and writer Jeff Kreisler to challenge many of our most basic assumptions about the precarious relationship between our brains and our money. In doing so, they undermine many of personal finance’s most sacred beliefs and explain how we can override some of our own instincts to make better financial choices. Exploring a wide range of everyday topics—from the lure of pain-free spending with credit cards to the pitfalls of household budgeting to the seductive power of holiday sales—Ariely and Kreisler demonstrate how our misplaced confidence in our spending habits frequently leads us astray, costing us more than we realize, whether it’s the real value of the time we spend driving forty-five minutes to save $10 or our inability to properly assess what the things we buy are actually worth. Together Ariely and Kreisler reveal the emotional forces working against us and how we can counteract them. Mixing case studies and anecdotes with concrete advice and lessons, they cut through the unconscious fears and desires driving our worst financial instincts and teach us how to improve our money habits. The result not only reveals the rationale behind our most head-scratching financial choices but also offers clear guidance for navigating the treacherous financial landscape of the brain. Fascinating, engaging, funny, and essential, Dollars and Sense provides the practical tools we need to understand and improve our financial choices, save and spend smarter, and ultimately live better.
