Candidate Rivera Case Summary
Candidate Rivera flawlessly issued his five paragraph order to his fire team. SNC was sure to cover all key points and state the paragraph that he was briefing at the time. SNC displayed an understanding of the concept of operations through his tactical mindset, ensuring to account for team members, their assigned tasks, and equipment updates. During certain points of friction SNC was able to make sound decisions, however he did realize that after making certain judgment calls he could have or should have approached it differently. None of the decisions made were crippling to the accomplishment of the mission. Though SNC established a plan prior to execution, his plan only allowed for once course of action instead of establishing that contingency

    Candidate Williamson briefed the information necessary for a complete order, but it was mixed up between different sections. The disorganized and unconfident delivery of his order demonstrated a poor understanding of the five paragraph order format and how the information should be organized/presented. Due to no reconnaissance being conducted prior to execution, SNC had to orient himself and his team to the problem before he could begin developing an initial plan. This yielded a delayed start to the execution and a slow initial tempo initially. Throughout execution, instead of tasking subordinates and providing ample direction, SNC took it upon himself to accomplish a large amount of smaller tasks. This inhibited SNC from viewing the problem…

    Candidate Spencer took the time to develop a plan and write his order prior to briefing. SNC briefed an extremely detailed five paragraph order, including an exhaustive Execution paragraph, and accurate information from higher’s warning order and fragmentary order. However, SNC spent 80% of his time prepping and briefing his order, showing an inability to effectively manage his time. Once SNC began executing the mission, he did not compensate for the time spent on his order, and his sense of urgency was lacking. SNC had a low frequency of verbal and non-verbal communication with his team and thus had some difficulty maintaining awareness and control of his team member’s movements. Upon consolidation, SNC controlled his security well, assigning…

    Candidate Holthe's five paragraph order was clear and concise. It was easy to understand and flowed well. However, he did brief parts as more of a check in the box without applying them to the execution. For example, he briefed hand and arm signals when they were clearly communicating utilizing voice. Initially he identified security but he then told them it would not be necessary so he did not establish it. SNC briefed a concise scheme of maneuver and his tasks were clear in order to accomplish the mission. SNC did fail to make the necessary adjustments to his plan in a timely manner. When it was clearly evident that his plan was not working he did not make an adjustment until eight minutes into the execution phase. SNC did not move…

    Candidate Miller struggled to deliver a five paragraph order that was in accordance with the OSMEAC format. Although SNC was able to brief some of the information he received from the instructor, he only mentioned "mission" and "signal" before briefing the sub-paragraphs. Additionally, SNC delivered the order with choppy, mumbled phrases and utilized excessive filler words. Candidate Miller displayed minimal confidence, and although he briefed a scheme of maneuver prior to execution, it was clear that he was making it up as he briefed. The tasks he gave to his fire team also lacked clarity and gave the impression they had not been thought through. During the execution, SNC used phrases that displayed lack of assertiveness such as "we should…

    Candidate Taber began by tasking each fire team as they arrived to the assembly area. SNC plotted both locations on the map with relative accuracy. SNC utilized the red numbers on the protractor at first and gave improper azimuth. After the evaluator told him he was incorrect he then gave a proper azimuth, but the distance was incorrect. SNC posed confidence while presenting his brief with a strong voice and an understanding of the five paragraph order format but was vague on the information being presented. After the brief SNC gave some time so that the fire team leaders could brief their teams on the scheme of maneuver. As the squad began to move out the point man instantly called a halt and the squad leader rushed to the front to assess…

    Candidate Summerour provided a five paragraph order that contained most of the needed information to carry out the mission, but not much more and not necessarily in the proper order. SNC’s brief was very choppy and SNC seemed overwhelmed with the amount of information he needed to organize and disseminate. His scheme of maneuver was hasty and was briefed after the tasks. The tasks assigned did not have a purpose. SNC’s execution went well until the one point of friction, the simulated casualty, occurred. SNC did not give orders to neutralize the enemy for a few moments. During this time his sense of security was lacking. He left the casualty where he fell and took the rest of the fireteam to assault the enemy, having no assistance or cover…

    Candidate Aleman briefed an average order that had brief periods of confidence and other periods of uncertainness. When transitioning to the execution phase, Candidate Aleman often froze and became indecisive when faced with the challenge of having his subordinates removed due to penalties. Due to the many penalties his team sustained, a significant period of time was wasted waiting on candidates to return to the exercise. Candidate Aleman did remain the obvious leader of the team during the entire period and used his subordinates effectively to accomplish the goals he set. Halfway through the exercise, Candidate Aleman decided to shift away from his plan when he lost confidence in it; he was making progress but one of his subordinate fell…

    Candidate Locke displayed poor confidence in briefing his order, demonstrating a lack of an initial plan and unfamiliarity with the order format. SNC began developing his scheme of maneuver in the middle of briefing his execution, staring at the obstacle for extended periods of time while his team waited. He then concluded his brief without briefing admin/logistics and command/signal. SNC failed to establish security during the brief or during the execution phase. SNC also mismanaged his time by briefing his incomplete order very slowly, taking time away from his execution. During execution, SNC had great difficulty making a decision and directing his team once friction was encountered, prompting a team member to suggest that the team leader…

    SNC performed exemplary individual actions, and motivated any squad members around him to do the same. When the squad stopped, SNC would post security and tell the other’s around him to do the same. During movements, SNC constantly swept his sectors and never had to be told to pay attention. Although SNC began to lose his edge towards the last few problems by performing incorrect security posture like nodding off or sitting down instead of kneeling, SNC required little micromanagement and allowed the team leaders and squad leaders to focus on completing the problem.…

    Facts. On the morning of August 31, 1986, Theresa Estrada left her home near Cerritos, California, to go shopping at a nearby grocery store. She left her husband at home reading the newspaper, and her three children were still in bed. Returning from the store, Estrada saw, heard, and felt a big explosion. Within minutes, she maneuvered her way through burning homes, cars, and debris to find her home engulfed in flames. Her husband and children died in the house. Although she did not know it at the time, an Aeromexico passenger airplane had crashed into her home after colliding with a privately owned plane. Estrada suffered severe emotional distress from the incident. She sued for the wrongful death of her family. Aeromexico was found not responsible for the accident. The jury found the private pilot 50 percent liable, and the United States 50 percent liable because air traffic controllers had failed to detect the private plane's intrusion into commercial airspace and give a traffic advisory to the Aeromexico flight. The jury awarded Estrada $5.5 million for the death of her family and $1 million for negligent infliction of emotional distress. The U.S. government appealed the $500,000 judgment against it for negligent infliction of emotional distress.…

    Candidate Burton displayed a basic understanding of the five paragraph order, however he did not brief a scheme of maneuver. SNC did brief a clear and detailed tasking statement to each team member. SNC almost forgot to brief security, but finally remembered it after he briefed Command & Signal. SNC displayed a lack of command presence and communication by giving commands quietly and without a sense of urgency. SNC placed himself at the very front of his fireteam during execution. This limited SNC’s ability to control his team’s movement causing poor dispersion and lack of control. Because his incoherent commands and lack of awareness of the tactical situation, SNC’s tasking for consolidation failed to produce an appropriate 360 degree security…

    Alamo his response was, “As the FTO you are to follow the policy which mirrors the law. Should he have told the recruit to skip George, ethically the FTO was wrong, regardless of the FTO experience. His function is to teach the recruit the correct procedure when working as a law enforcement officer” (D JWilliams, personal communication January 13, 2016). Therefore, I feel that he is not a good example of a leader, simply based upon this occurrence, and it leaves open question to how many other recruits he has said this to, which comes into question his…

    In May 1936, the Director of Posts announced in the dailies of Manila that he would order the issuance of postage stamps commemorating the celebration in the City of Manila of the 33rd International Eucharistic Congress, organized by the Roman Catholic Church. The petitioner, Mons. Gregorio Aglipay, Supreme Head of the Philippine Independent Church, in the fulfillment of what he considers to be a civic duty, requested Vicente Sotto, Esq., member of the Philippine Bar, to denounce the matter to the President of the Philippines. In spite of the protest of the petitioner’s attorney, the Director of Posts publicly announced having sent to the United States the designs of the postage for printing. The said stamps were actually issued and sold though the greater part thereof remained unsold. The further sale of the stamps was sought to be prevented by the petitioner.…
