ALS Case Study
Storyline 1: 337th Munitions Squadron
Line 8 thru 13: PA01 Airmanship
Synopsis: A1C Hamburg is forced to wake SrA Ratner in order to avoid being late for roll call and it’s the third time in a week SrA Ratner overslept. Ratner references partying and drinking the night before.
I: The lesson principle illustrated in this instance is an Emergent Leadership issue, Wingman Concept more specifically.
D: A1C Hamburg practiced appropriate use of the wingman concept ensuring SrA Ratner was awake in order to avoid being late for roll call.
D: N/A
P: If A1C Hamburg continues his behavior in being a good wingman, it will reflect good upon him but if SrA Ratner continues making a habit of oversleeping, one day Hamburg may not be around to wake him up and SrA Ratner may oversleep again and have to answer for it.
Line 9 thru 10: CF05 Four Lenses
“This is the third time this week you’ve overslept,” Hamburg says. “Sorry Hambone‟ but you know I can’t resist a party, gorgeous women, and free booze,” Ratner says as he clumsily fumbles with his boots.

I: These characteristics refer to someone being an orange in four lenses
D: These characteristics are fine but I would say that it’s ineffective.
D: These characteristics are ineffective because drinking every night and not getting enough sleep will affect his work performance
P: After a while his actions are going to start showing his work performance dropping and he might even not just oversleep but become late for work and someones going to have to pick up his slack.

Line 14 thru 15: PA01 Airmanship
Synopsis: SrA Ratner seems annoyed by A1C Hamburg’s insistence upon arriving to work on time and makes a snide comment about his duty in the AF being “just a job and a paycheck.”
I: The lesson principle illustrated in this instance is Airmanship; A1C Hamburg doesn’t agree with SrA Ratner that it is “just a job and a paycheck” but rather implies his understanding of the Warrior Ethos/Profession of Arms.
D: SrA

    The strain in the squad differed from the thickness in the air the past few shifts between the two men. This heaviness came from the unknown that awaited their arrival.

    The men rushed out of the plane and took in the image of where they’d be spending their lives. They saw the fifteen-foot tall barbed wire fences, the grotesque buildings and scenery, and other inmates being escorted by officers in unison. Before the inmates stood two guards, each wearing a standard security uniform and nametag. One of the name tags read “Lt. Harrison” and the other read “Sgt. Sanders”. The inmates listened as they announced rollcall.…

    But Lieutenant Caputo didn’t really understand the concept till after their first encounter with the enemy. Caputo now had a new perceptive on his men. Sergeant Loker gave insight about Hanson, a rifleman in the 1st platoon by informing him of the nature of war, “I caught the little sonuvabitch cutting the ears off one of those dead VC. He had a K-bar and was trying to slice ears off” (Caputo, 125). Caputo later realizes the truth that he really doesn’t know these men, “I now realized that some of them were not so decent and good. Many had petty jealousies, hatreds, and prejudices. Sergeant Colby tried to help Caputo understand why such incidents happen. He said, “When I was in Korea, I saw men sight their rifles in by shooting at Korean farmers. Before you leave here, sir, you’re going to learn that one of the most brutal things in the world is your average nineteen-year-old American boy” (Caputo, 137). Even though the Lieutenant refused to accept the fact that the men he had shared everything with were capable of these actions it still stuck with…

    I constantly reminded my brothers in arms, general and officers, that the ranks to which they'd been raised were nothing but the reward for honor, bravery and irreproachable conduct. That the higher they were above their fellow citizens, the more irreproachable all their actions and words must be; that scandals caused by public men had consequences even more dire for society than those of simple citizens; that the ranks and functions they bore hadn’t been given to them to serve only their ambition, but had as cause and goal the general good. ...…

    The dictionary defines punctual as: Acting or arriving exactly at the time appointed; prompt. Under the rigid and disciplined structure of military life there is no margin for error. The slightest modicum of hesitation or procrastination can result in the tragic loss of innumerable lives. There are many circumstances where a failure to be prompt could have dire consequences. Under certain circumstances not arriving for guard duty at the designated time could allow a breach of security that could ultimately end in the brutal murder of your peacefully slumbering, unsuspecting battle buddies at the zealous hands of our insurgent foes. Choosing an example from a different segment of the spectrum of responsibility, we see how a noncommissioned officer’s failure to release his soldiers in a timely manner can affect the combat effectiveness of the entire unit. If this leader’s long windedness results in a soldier consistently being released to go on shift without enough time to eat, the soldier may resort to eating junk food to prevent his stomach from reaching a painful, distended state. Over time these seemingly minor indiscretions on the part of this senior noncommissioned officer could culminate in the sum total of a malnourished, ineffectual soldier. Keeping in mind that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, the callused behavior of one leader can exponentially reduce the combat readiness of an entire unit.…
