Abstract:
This dissertation focuses on the mechanics of merging the United States Marine Corps and the United States Army into a coherent joint force capable of defeating the Japanese in the Central Pacific Campaign. By examining the planning, execution and lessons learned through five different operations - Guadalcanal, the Gilbert Islands (Tarawa and Makin), the Marshall Islands (Kwajalein and Roi- Namur), Saipan and Okinawa - it is possible to trace the transformation and adaptation of the commanders and their units. Whenever one attempts to combine culturally unique organisations, individual personalities within both groups will have an outsized effect on results. Nowhere is this more demonstrable than in the Central Pacific Campaign, where a few outsized personalities were responsible for most of the interservice friction. Unfortunately, over the past seven decades the narrative of a campaign almost brought to ruin by squabbling commanders - as embodied by the Smith versus Smith controversy - has become one of the dominant narratives of the Pacific War. In truth, at the division level and below, there is a much brighter picture of interservice cooperation. By closely studying similar elements in the preparation and execution of each battle is it possible to examine how the lessons-learned process delivered new capabilities, technological advances and doctrinal changes, to the combat forces. Similar analytical standardisation also helps one to see how equipment and methodological changes were absorbed and then employed by both the army and marines. Over the course of these ~ve battles one can, therefore, easily trace the adaptability of both services as they transformed not only their fighting methods, but also their own cultures so to create a common lexicon of doctrine and tactics. 2

Preparedness for operations in both the Irregular Warfare (IW) and Major Combat Operations (MCO) environments is essential given a tumultuous and unpredictable Contemporary Operational Environment (COE). This thesis is an effort to provide a solution to the U.S. Army's emerging trend toward uni-focused operations fixated on IW. In this thesis, we propose recommendations for change to the current Army force structure centered on the Brigade Combat Team (BCT) and the Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) model through which these units are cycled for refit, training, and deployment. These recommended modifications are intended to optimize the Army for its role as a deterrent force, and to assist the Army in its ability to proficiently conduct operations in the IW and MCO environments either consecutively or simultaneously.

For the U.S. Army, the fundamentally new concept of full spectrum operations requires that stability operations be internalized into its culture and operations. The main research question of this thesis is: How can the Army internalize full spectrum operations, including stability operations, into its culture and operations? Internalization specifies a cultural integration of stability operations represented by organizational attitudinal responses in the execution of full spectrum operations. The findings of this thesis are that full spectrum operations will be internalized in the U.S. Army under the following three conditions: 1) The National Security Strategy formally and consistently embraces the use of the military forces to conduct stability operations in support of national objectives. As addressed in Chapter II, this is the best method for prompting the Army to accept full spectrum operations, and specifically stability operations, as a permanent mission-set with the accompanying imperative to internalize it. 2) The Army doctrinally evolves the full spectrum concept, and devises a training model that supports operationalizing full spectrum operations. As described in Chapter III, addressing these imperatives requires the Army to rectify core issues such as leader development and the optimal force structure for full spectrum operations. 3) The Army is able to close the conceptual gaps in the whole-of-government approach to stability operations and overcome internal biases as represented by the current assignment and career development practices in the personnel system.

Full text
Abstract:
The U.S. Army distributes its 51,000 competitive category officers among manning targets specified by location, rank and skill that change over time in response to changing requirements. The officer inventory also changes over time and does not exactly match the manning target requirements. The Army responds to imbalances by redistributing officers in order to provide each location with the minimum required officers while minimizing the number of unfilled targets and excess officers at each location. This thesis focuses on branch officers, branch targets and generalist targets with ranks from Branch Qualified Captain to Colonel. Using data provided by the Army, we formulate an integer programming model called DISTRIBUTOR. When DISTRIBUTOR allows all officers in the inventory to move, it finds only 340 unfilled targets but this requires 4,688 or 28% of the inventory to move. We reduce the number of moves by using DISTRIBUTOR in two sequential steps. The first step optimally distributes officers at each location and identifies the excess officers and unfilled targets at each location. The second step takes the excess officers and distributes them to unfilled targets at other locations. The two-step leaves only 346 targets unfilled (6 more) but requires only 1,373 or 8% of the inventory to move. By allowing rank substitution DISTRIBUTOR can reduce the unfilled targets to 70.

Usage Monitoring requires accurate regime recognition. For each regime, there is a usage assigned for each component. For example, the damage accumulated at a component is higher if the aircraft is undergoing a high G maneuver than in level flight. The objective of this research is to establish regime recognition models using classification algorithms. The data used in the analysis are the parametric data collected by the onboard system and the actual data, consisting of the correct regime collected from the flight cards. This study uses Rpart (with a tree output) and C5.0 (with a ruleset output) to establish two different models. Before model fitting, the data was divided into smaller datasets that represent regime families by subsetting using important flight parameters. Nonnormal tolerance intervals are constructed on the uninteresting values; then these values in the interval are set to zero to be muted (e.g. excluded). These processes help reduce the effect of noise on classification. The final models had correct classification rates over 95%. The number of bad misclassifications were minimized (e.g. the number of bad misclassifications of a level flight regime as a hover regime was minimized), but the models were not as powerful in classifying the low-speed regimes as in classifying high-speed regimes.

This dissertation examines the influence of the US Army experience in military government and occupation missions on occupations conducted during and immediately after World War II. The study concludes that army occupation experiences between the end of the Civil War and World War II positively influenced the occupations that occurred during and after World War II. The study specifically examines occupation and government operations in the post-Civil War American South, Cuba, the Philippines, Mexico, post-World War I Germany, and the major occupations associated with World War II in Italy, Germany, and Japan. Though historians have examined individual occupations, none has studied the entirety of the American army‘s experience with these operations. This dissertation finds that significant elements of continuity exist between the occupations, so much so that by the World War II period it discerns a unique American way of conducting occupation operations. Army doctrine was one of the major facilitators of continuity. An additional and perhaps more important factor affecting the continuity between occupations was the army‘s institutional culture, which accepted occupation missions as both important and necessary. An institutional understanding of occupation operations developed over time as the army repeatedly performed the mission or similar nontraditional military tasks. Institutional culture ensured an understanding of the occupation mission passed informally from generation to generation of army officers through a complex network of formal and informal, professional and personal relationships. That network of relationships was so complete that the World War II generation of leaders including Generals Marshall, Eisenhower, Clay and MacArthur, and Secretary of War Stimson, all had direct personal ties to individuals who served in key positions in previous occupations in the Philippines, Cuba, Mexico, or the Rhineland. Doctrine and the cultural understanding of the occupation mission influenced the army to devote major resources and command attention to occupation operations during and after World War II. Robust resourcing and the focus of leaders were key to overcoming the inevitable shortfalls in policy and planning that occurred during the war. These efforts contributed significantly to the success of the military occupations of Japan and Germany after World War II.

Full text
Abstract:
For decades, Army Engineers have utilized the systems of the Critical Path Method (CPM) and multi-level Gantt chart planning system for its construction projects. While these methods are well accepted, they are not without their flaws. Research and literature in project management has given weight to several viable alternative options to planning projects. One such option, Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM), was developed to address the flaws of CPM by offering a holistic approach to project management based on strict resource control and the use of time buffers. This method attempts to eliminate multitasking and procrastination that can plague efficiency and offer managers more flexibly on tasks that otherwise had no leeway. CCPM may give project managers more flexibility and control while at the same time shortening the overall length of a project, saving time and money. The purpose of this thesis was to address the time saving and resource management benefits of utilizing CCPM over CPM and analyze the viability of those benefits being applied to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers construction project planning. Through the use of surveys of Army Engineer project supervisors, several key factors that cause delays because of CPM were identified and rated. The validity of CCPM based solutions to the same issues were also assessed by Army project supervisors in the survey. Analysis of the survey results indicated that CCPM may offer solutions to major issues that Army project supervisors face.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the application of high resolution modeling in the Army Special Operations Aviation mission planning process. This thesis looks at the unique missions Special Operations Forces are expected to perform, often at very high levels of public scrutiny, and how the use of combat simulation can assist commanders, planners and staffs in simplifying the frictions encountered in the planning process. The main objective of this study is to define common practical uses for combat simulation in deliberate and time sensitive mission planning. This investigation surveys the use of special operations to achieve key foreign policy objectives and the ability of combat simulation to provide answers to potential questions and to stimulate queries to subjects that operators may not have considered germane to the outcome of the mission. By applying combat simulation in the mission planning process, planners can streamline decision making capabilities by constructing correct and visible paths to valid conclusions. An historical case study, the raid on the Son Tay prisoner of war camp in North Vietnam in 1970, serves as a instructive example to demonstrate basic applications of combat simulation in the mission planning process and investigating variables possibly cogent to the outcome of the mission. Finally, a discussion on high resolution special operations models used at the United States Special Operations Command and their architecture for future mission planning modeling will assist in spanning the chasm from the Cold War paradigm to new and unexpected tactical scenarios.

Abstract:
This is a submission for a PhD by portfolio on the subject of managing health services support to military operations. It is based upon my prior published work supported by an ‘action research’ analysis of the application of this prior knowledge to my experiences from spending a year in the South of Afghanistan from October 2009 to November 2010. The submission is structured around three thematic areas; medical planning to support military operations, management of military medical operations and international military medical engagement with indigenous health sectors. The submission presents evidence for my contribution to original thinking in each of these thematic areas by means of a review of my published work, my application of these concepts in support of NATO operations in Afghanistan and evidence of the impact of these concepts in influencing other military organisations. The first theme area on medical planning to support military operations will be supported by 3 monographs. These will describe the context of medical support to military operations in the current security environment, the use of the ‘estimate’ process to develop a medical plan and the analytical process termed ‘the casualty estimate’. The second theme covers the management of military medical operations. This is the largest section and contains monographs on pre-hospital helicopter medical evacuation, aeromedical evacuation movement between hospitals, managing casualty flows, deployed hospital care, and quality assurance of the medical system. The final theme covers international military medical engagement with medical support systems for indigenous security forces and indigenous civilian health systems. The closing section of this submission reflects on my two tours in Afghanistan comparing my recent experiences with my views at the end of my first tour in 2006/07. My whole thesis provides evidence of my considerable personal learning from my experiences managing medical support to military operations. This section will highlight how I have tried to share this experience both personally and across multiple stakeholder organisations to ensure my observations can be converted into lessons learned.

Joint Applied Project
This Joint Applied Project analyzed the extent to which Army leadership has acknowledged and is acting upon key improvement recommendations made by the Gansler Report (2007). This project explores roles, procedures, principles and emerging issues facing contingency contracting professionals in respect to their responsibilities in expeditionary operations. Basic principles of contingency contracting and current literature relative to Army expeditionary operations were analyzed. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with both military and civilian acquisition professionals. Additionally, researcher developed surveys were distributed amongst deployed contingency contracting officers/specialists in order to approach this topic with a 'boots on the ground' perspective. From the research conducted, recommendations are provided that the Army can implement to improve modern wartime contingency contracting and better prepare and train the contracting workforce to support future contingency operations.

The Army National Guard Special Forces has a unique position that allows state governors to call upon the group to support domestic operations and provide additional forces for the United States Army Special Forces Command when needed. The necessity to coordinate the emerging domestic operations being undertaken or discussed by the Army National Guard Special Forces has been identified as a shortcoming by senior leaders of the Army National Guard and their Special Operations advisors, but little has been done to ensure the coordination and collaboration is executed. The newly established Special Operations Command – North is ideally situated to assist in this effort. This thesis examines the difficulties of coordinating operations conducted in a Title 32 status across state lines and with a command element that is a Title 10 force. Additionally, given the unique laws and policies that dictate defense support to civil authorities, this thesis analyzes what the Army National Guard Special Forces has done and is currently doing and how Special Operations Command – North can fit into the homeland defense mission set. This thesis concludes with recommendations on developing the relationship between the states, Special Operations Command – North and Special Operations Command’s Global SOF Network and where the manpower and funding can come from for the emerging relationship.

MBA Professional Report
The purpose of this project is to analyze the conditions that enabled corruption of Army Contingency Contracting Officers (CCOs) during Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) by applying occupational fraud theory, specifically the classic sociological/criminological Fraud Triangle model (Cressey, 1953), to determine its validity in a contingency operation. By examining the contracting environment in OIF and OEF and utilizing the conceptual framework of occupational fraud theory, I identify the distinctive situational elements of a contingency operation that influence an individual's decision to commit fraud and thus affect the probability of fraud occurring in contingency operations. By analyzing the procurement fraud environment in OIF and OEF using an occupational fraud model, I provide the foundation for understanding why fraud occurs in the context of contingency operations with the intent of preventing future procurement integrity violations. Reducing instances of fraud directly impacts the appropriate utilization of taxpayer funding and the operational readiness of the warfighter, as well as enhances the reputation and standing of the Army CCO Corps.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
The U.S. Army Wartime Ammunition Distribution System (WADS) will experience an unprecedented demand for ammunition under the operational concept of Airland Battle. To meet demand, proper storage facility location and an efficient flow through the distribution network will be required. Using information from Army Field Manuals, maps and simulation data for demand, both a mixed integer program (MIP) and a sequential, optimization-based heuristic are developed to model the WADS. The Generalized Algebraic Modelling System is used to implement both models. The sequential heuristic locates ammunition facilities with a binary integer program and then directs ammunition through those facilities utilizing a network flow model with side constraints. The MIP integrates location and flow decisions in the same model. For a general scenario, the sequential heuristic locates a 21 node, 30 arc network with ammunition flows over 30 time periods in 22 CPU seconds on an IBM 3033AP. For the same scenario the MIP obtains a solution for only a 3 time period problem in 87 CPU seconds. Keywords: Ammunition, Integer programming, Heuristic, Networks

The US Army pours a multitude of time and resources to ensure a combat brigade is ready to deploy to a theater of combat and has established two premiere training sites in the US for that purpose. In contrast, homestation units do not have a dedicated opposing force unit and must therefore resource from within to maximize effective and efficient training prior to their deployment to one of the Army's two top training facilities. It is imperative that brigades develop processes to enable better training, resource management, and can expeditiously achieve a training objective in preparation for deployment. This thesis uses available systems tools to build a network of the 4 TH Infantry Division mission readiness exercise conducted in June of 2015, provide graphical depictions of the system itself, and seeks to find an optimum solution for both operating costs and time. Through the application of multicommodity modeling, a decrease of time and operating cost was achieved, 11.04% and 25.85% respectively. Additionally, future work may discover further benefits to increase resource management and speed of execution via the multicommodity flow modeling during the planning phase of a brigade-size training exercise. The analysis conducted in this thesis is meant to enhance the military decision making process and cannot replace the requisite critical thinking required by planners at the brigade level and above.

Abstract:
Malaria is a threat to United States military personnel operating in endemic areas, from which there have been hundreds of cases reported over the past decade. Each of these cases might have been avoided with proper adherence to malaria chemoprophylaxis medications. Military operations may detract from the strict 100% adherence required of these preventive medications. However, the reasons for non-adherence in military populations are not well understood. This behavior was investigated using a cross sectional study design on a convenience sample of U.S. Army Ranger volunteers (n=150) located at three military instillations. Theoretical support was based on components of the Health Belief Model, the Theory of Reasoned Action/Theory of Planned Behavior, and the Social Cognitive Theory. Data on knowledge, attitudes, and practices, as well as multiple environmental domains was collected using an original yet unvalidated questionnaire. The data was analyzed using bivariate Pearson correlations, binary logistic regression, and moderated logistic regressions employing a 0.05 criterion of statistical significance. Power analyses predicted 96-98% power for this analysis. Multiple significant medium strength Pearson correlation coefficients were identified relative to the two dependent variables Take medications as directed and Intend to take the medications as directed the next time. Binary logistic regression analyses identified multiple variables that may predict behavioral intentions to adhere to these preventive medications, as a proxy for behavioral change. Moderated logistic regression analyses identified Command Support for adherence to these medications as a potential significant moderator that interacts with independent variables within three domains of the survey questionnaire. The findings indicate that there may be potential significant beneficial effects, which may improve this behavior in this population of Rangers through 1) promoting affirmative interpersonal communications that emphasize adherence to these medications, 2) including malaria chemoprophylaxis medications in the mission planning process, and 3) military command support, in the form of including the importance of proper adherence to these medications in the unit safety briefings.

Abstract:
World War II was the most devastating war in human history in terms of loss of life. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, plunged the United States into war. Less than seven thousand military nurses were on active duty at the time of the attack. By the end of the war, there were over fifty-thousand active-duty nurses. The army nurses performed under fire in field and evacuation hospitals, on hospital trains and ships, and as flight nurses on medical evacuation transport aircraft. The skill and dedication of the Army Nurses Corps insured a 95% survival rate for the wounded soldiers who received medical care in a field or evacuation hospital. Two hundred and one nurses lost their lives during World War II and sixty-seven nurses were captured and held as prisoners of war. Sixteen hundred medals, citations and commendations attest to the nurses’ courage and dedication.

Abstract:
Den amerikanska armén har under lång tid haft doktriner som behandlat strid i bebyggelse medolika typer av motståndare, från sovjetiska divisioner som anfaller in i Västtyskland tillupprorsbekämpning i Mellanöstern och Afrika. Uppsatsen handlar om hur den amerikanska taktiskasynen på strid i bebyggelse har utvecklats från 1979 till 2003.Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att skapa en större förståelse för den taktiska utvecklingen somskett kopplat mot de grundläggande förmågorna verkan, skydd & rörlighet.En kvalitativ textanalys har använts som metod för att analysera de aktuella doktrinerna. Teorinutgår ifrån Doktrin för markoperationer och i synnerhet ifrån de grundläggande förmågorna verkan,skydd & rörlighet.Resultatet visar att användningen av dessa förmågor utvecklas med hänsyn till förväntadmotståndare och civilbefolkning. Utvecklingen av verkan går mot mer kvalitativa medel ochmetoder, motståndarens rörlighet har förändrats och så har också hans vilja att strida i bebyggelse.Användningen av assymmetriska metoder för att uppnå skydd är en ny metod som uppkommit.Värdering av den terrängen är däremot något som inte har förändrats.
