When working in the JIIM environment, SFWOs need to be able to understand and articulate their authorities. Understanding and articulating SOF authorities will lead to greater confidence from interagency partners.…

Consider what you are internally (or intrinsically) motivated to do. What do you feel compelled to do simply because you love to do it?…
I would choose the second version of the mission statements a more extensive presentation. In the option I will be able to elaborate and clearly state what the organization is about and what they do.…
Following instructions, especially to the smallest detail, is incredibly important for several reasons. It accomplishes a number of things in addition to the task the instructions are specifically given for, but the foremost reason for the importance of following detailed instructions is to successfully and correctly complete the task. In every part of life, doing things the way they need to be done is important, but this is especially true in the military and even more so in the special operations community and the training and selection for that community. In a real world scenario, success or failure by members of special operations means not only life and death for those involved, but can have far reaching consequences and effects on national security and international politics. In the military, success is imperative because of what is at stake.…
Having attended a Catholic High School, while not being Catholic has opened many doors for me. I got to experience another religion, while learning about its origins, beliefs, and contributions to the world. Growing up in a Sikh family, I had always been taught to respect human life, work hard, give back, and remember God; a lot of these same aspects were reiterated in school, engraining them in my everyday life. One of the main concepts I took away from my high school was the concept of education hearts and minds, which in my mind resonates highly with the mission of Pepperdine. The main aspect behind educating hearts and minds is that while education in the purest sense is very important, equally important is how we go…
To whom it may concern, I do not truly believe that I can currently reach my full potential at Fayette County High School. The mission statement of Fayette County Public Schools states: "To deliver effective instruction and set high expectations resulting in continued improvement in student achievement." Fayette County High School currently does not satisfy my learning capabilities, and will not improve my student achievement much further. On the other hand, McIntosh High School has the classes that I require in my curriculum. One example of a class that I require is AP physics C. In order to improve my academic abilities further, I must be go to Mcintosh High School.…
Regionally Aligning Brigades is a suitable method of addressing the challenges presented by an uncertain international environment through the development of the forces needed to respond to uncertain and complex contingencies within the future operating environment while providing support to Geographic Combatant Command (GCC) during shaping operations. By directing the focus at the brigade level, it will become easier to identify training needs suitable for the sustenance of language; as well as cultural awareness. Proper resourcing and training will effectively become fundamental features of aligned units thereby improving military operations, planning, as well as cooperation with the host nations. Cultural capability enables Soldiers and leaders to understand the ‘how and why’ of foreign cultures and the roles that culture, religion, and geography play in military operations; which enhances cross-cultural communication needed to facilitate mission success. Such specialization improves operational effectiveness by…

The United States of America has about 195 countries and 6,500 spoken languages to interpret, understand, and communicate. Being aware of foreign cultures and affairs is imperative to upholding the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) mission to, “…to ensure a homeland that is safe, secure, and resilient against terrorism and other hazards.” My participation in Second Language Learning and Technology research could aid in improving the way DHS collects domestic and foreign intelligence and decrease the duration of time it takes employees to learn new languages.…
Congressional and military leaders have directed improvement in cultural awareness training throughout the Department of Defense. However there are severe challenges, especially in an era of limited resources, transformation and combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Research shows that cultural decisions may not always achieve their desired effect; many bad decisions are a result of cultural ignorance. This article showed several ways to improve cultural awareness in the military using military personnel, civilian experts, or a combination of both.…
I am planning on serving a mission this July and I am writing this to show the passion that I have to forgo that plan and to make sure nothing restricts me from doing so. I am 19 years old and I attend Brigham Young University in Utah. I have always had my goals set high in everything that I do so I am very thankful to be here. I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at a young age and I want to start off by saying that CF is a part of me, but it does not control me—it does not define who I am. From a very young age, my parents have taught me what it’s like to be independent and not rely on others to do things for me that I can do for myself. They have also taught me to never quit at anything: sports, school, work, etc. As I have grown up, sports have been of my…
I wasn’t terribly sure what I wanted to do with my life, nor did I have any idea how to get where I thought I wanted to be. My relative lack of passion wasn’t seen as a deterrent in my affluent Texas town, though, as it was a place where nearly all high school students went on to college—it was the only option we really considered or that was presented to us by our families, teachers, and counselors as a post-graduation plan. So I began the requisite search by looking first at nontraditional college environments, for while I had done reasonably well at my large and impersonal public high school, nor had I flourished either. It seemed to me that if I was going to spend the next four years of my life in school, I might as well try a different tactic than the one that had allowed me to coast rather unremarkably through high school.…
