Full textAbstract:
Soldier?s social adaptation includes his interpersonal relationships with his environment integration into the military community and the ability to fulfill his role in the military environment and to function adequately outside of it. The aim of this study was to establish the dynamics of soldier?s social adaptation during the military service. The study involved soldiers of two platoons of the Armed Forces of Serbia and Montenegro, divided into three groups according to the period of the study: after the first month, after the basic training and at the end of the military service. The instruments applied for the study were sociodemografic questionnaire and Social Adaptation Self-evaluation Scale. Statistical analysis of the obtained data was done using Stident?s t-test. The results of the study that soldier's contentment with his professional role and with the quality of his interpersonal relations was highest during the basic training, but the quality of leisure activities was lowest at the end of the military service.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article examines Cary Joji Fukunaga’s film adaptation of Uzodinma Iweala’s Beasts of No Nation, with a special focus on the final scene, in which a counsellor is assigned to help the protagonist deal with the trauma of having been a child soldier. While the casting of a black African actor as the counsellor in Fukunaga’s film may appear to detract from the novel’s interrogation of the uneven power relations between Africa and America, an interpretation oscillating between novel and film reveals that there may be some benefits to erasing the white saviour figure from the scene. The erasure of a white American character not only redirects the focus to relations among Africans but also comments indirectly on the circulation of transnational films via streaming services such as Netflix. Reading in between adapted text and adaptation also yields some important insights about Beasts’ critical engagement with the politics of circulation, reception, and consumption of child-soldier narratives at a time when such narratives have become popular among transnational audiences.

Full textAbstract:
The third adaptation of The Unknown Soldier premiered during the celebration of the centennial anniversary of Finland’s independence in 2017. The original novel by Väinö Linna was published in 1954. This article will set the story of the novel briefly in both historical and authorial contexts. Then the discussion concentrates on characteristics of spectatorship and observations about differences between the three film adaptations of the novel, the first directed by Edvin Laine (1955), the second by Rauni Mollberg (1985) and the most recent version, again some 30 years later, directed by Aku Louhimies (2017). Analysis of this film highlights differences from the earlier adaptations as well as additions and shifts in emphasis when compared to the novel, such as the role of the home front and the focus on particular characters, especially corporal Rokka.

Dramatic increases in the percentage of female soldiers, married enlisted soldiers, spouses in the labor force, female single-parent soldiers, and dual military couples have changed the demography of the Army substantially since the end of the Vietnam War and the institution of the All Volunteer Army. The presence of single-parent families has perhaps most clearly broken the traditional pattern of the unmarried male soldier led by a married male officer. This report documents the increase of single-parent families in the U.S. Army since the early 1970s and discusses what effects, if any, such changes may have had on family adaptation, retention, readiness, and use of family social-support services.

Dramatic percentage increases in female soldiers, married enlisted soldiers, spouses in the labor force, female single-parent soldiers, and dual military couples have changed the demography of the Army substantially since the end of the Vietnam War and the institution of the All Volunteer Army. The presence of dual-career military families is one change that has shifted the traditional pattern of the unmarried male soldier led by a married male officer. This report documents the changes in dual military families since the early 1970s in the U.S. Army and discusses what effects, if any, there may be on family adaptation, retention, readiness, and use of services and what effects current downsizing initiatives might have on the prevalence of dual military couples in the Army.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines two adaptations of John le Carré’s 1974 novel Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy: the 1979 BBC television serial and the 2011 cinema film, in order to investigate critical orthodoxies around the aesthetics of television and cinema. It examines the dialectical relationship between space and place, concluding that filming location acts as a ‘framing place’, shaping production practices and effecting a dialogic interchange between production space and narrative place. Drawing on original research interviews with production team members, it illuminates the process of production and demonstrates the interaction between material space and social space in the interaction of location and practitioners. The article concludes that the television serial's mimetic fidelity to its source novel results in a text which is at times more ‘cinematic’ than the cinema version. The cinema film features a more fully developed visual concept throughout its aesthetic, in the motifs of cages, grids and boxes. However, in its narrative compression and unsubtle use of signifiers of place, the cinema adaptation is at times less ‘cinematic’ than the television serial.

Full textAbstract:
Background: COVID-19 has caused changes in people's living conditions and has brought harmful psychological effects such as anxiety. The military has an important role as a health service provider in particular and accelerates control in disasters such as COVID-19. Mental health in the rapid adaptation of the military is an important thing in carrying out its duties.
Objective: This study is to determine the adaptability of the Belawan Defense Marine Battalion Soldiers in dealing with situations that have never been faced before.
Methods: This study is a paired numerical comparative analytical study using a retrospective approach. By assessing the difference in the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S) score and also the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Trait (STAI-T) score during the COVID-19 pandemic and normal conditions before the pandemic, with the study population of Marine Defense Battalion Soldiers Base- I Belawan.
Results: the median of the STAI-S score during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Belawan Defense Base-I Marine Battalion Soldier is 35 with a minimum value of 20 and a maximum value of 55. There is a significant difference between the STAI-S score during the COVID-19 pandemic and normal conditions at Belawan I-Base Defense Marine Battalion Soldiers (p <0.001). There was no significant difference between the STAI-T score between the COVID-19 pandemic and the normal condition of the Belawan I-Base Marine Defense Battalion Soldiers (p = 0.45).
Conclusion: There was a tendency for anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to normal conditions in the Belawan I Base Defense Marine Battalion soldier.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Callista RoyThe purpose of this secondary analysis was to understand the coping and adaptation processes of reservist soldiers and one family member throughout the first year following deployment to Iraq. A directed content analysis based on the Roy (2009, 2011) conceptualization of coping and adaptation was accomplished on 75 interviews from 20 Army Reserve and family participants. Research questions were; which contextual stimuli affected the coping capacity for dealing with focal stimuli; military deployment and reintegration. Second, whether resourceful and focused coping at Wave 1 positively influenced the adaptation level at 52 weeks. Third, whether physical and fixed coping at Wave 1 negatively affected the adaptation level at 52 weeks. Fourth, whether coping capacity varied during the reintegration year. Findings confirmed primary study outcomes (MacDermid, 2006) where participants described individualized reintegration. Informants' depictions were different from the previously published, "New Emotional Cycles of Deployment." Contextual stimuli were complicating or protective and exerted substantial influence on managing the deployment and reintegration. Cognitive-emotional processing the meaning and repercussions of the deployment is part of the reintegration process. Resourceful and focused coping positively affected the adaptation level at 52 weeks. Insufficient reports of physical and fixed coping precluded determining its effect. Coping efforts were a discrete measure of coping extrapolated from narratives, and were found to fluctuate throughout the year. When demands intensified, participants accelerated their coping efforts as predicted by the Roy adaptation model (2009). Coping strategies were effective or ineffective. Concepts of transcendence, transformation, and hope were understood in new ways within the Roy model. Transcendence in individuals and groups was further explicated. Spirit was another concept from Roy's work that was observed in the participants. Implications for policy, theory, nursing practice, education and research are discussed. Keywords: adaptation, adaptation level, coping, coping efforts, Roy adaptation model, spirit, transcendence, transformation, hope, military deployment, post-deployment, reintegration, Reservist, military family, deployment cycle, directed content analysis

"Factors related to adaptation in the intimate relationships of Oef/oif veterans with posttraumatic stress DisorderFactors related to adaptation in the intimate relationships of OEF/OIF veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder." Diss., University of Iowa, 2011. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/1031.
Full textAbstract:
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the signature wound of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, has caused veterans to face numerous and complex challenges within their intimate relationships post-deployment. Although other studies have explored the intimate relationships of veterans, the same level of research has not focused on OEF/OIF veterans from the standpoint of dyadic adaptation using the Dyadic Adaptation Scale (DAS). The purpose of this study was to explore the level of dyadic adaptation in intimate relationships of OEF/OIF veterans who self-reported PTSD and those who did not.
More specifically, this study identified the factors that were related to the level of dyadic adaptation for this population. Participants were 126 OEF/OIF veterans who were enrolled in colleges and universities throughout the state of Iowa; provided basic background information in response to a demographics questionnaire; and completed the DAS to yield scores of the participants' dyadic adaptation within their intimate relationships, the Family Crisis Oriented Personal Evaluation Scales (F-COPES) that highlighted their levels of coping, and the Family Inventory of Life Events (FILE) that measured their life stressors within the last 12 months.
The results of the correlation, MANOVA, ANOVA, and hierarchical regression analyses provided four major findings and implications. First, among participants with PTSD, DAS was correlated with tours of duty, FILE, F-COPES, and pharmacologic intervention, and among participants without PTSD, DAS was correlated with FILE. Second, the total dyadic adaptation scores for participating OEF/OIF veterans suggested an overall slight level of relationship dissatisfaction. Third, participants who self-reported PTSD had lower DAS total scores than participants who did not self-report PTSD. In addition, there was a significant difference on all four subscales (cohesion, satisfaction, consensus, and affectional expression) of the DAS between the two groups of participants. Fourth, in terms of participants who self-reported PTSD, tours of duty, types of relationships, and life stressors were the only variables that positively affected dyadic adaptation. In contrast, for participants who did not self-report PTSD, FILE was the only variable that affected the dyadic adaptation. These findings have important implications that highlight areas in which clinicians, educators, and individuals within the helping professions can join the Department of Veterans Affairs' initiatives to improve the reintegration of OEF/OIF veterans into their familiar roles post-deployment. Future research should explore the relationship norms pre-deployment and across relationship statutes, the identity of military intimate partners within treatment facilities, and the perceptions of treatment and dyadic adaptation after OEF/OIF veterans receive treatment in the community by civilian providers as compared to treatment in VA facilities.

Full textAbstract:
Soldier's individual skills are by far the most important and elementary in an armed conflict. A soldier is exposed to psychological challenges that affect his ability to perform. The academic literature is dominated by studies where adaptation is investigated at an organisational level and follows an ‘up-down' structure. Therefore, is it not only interesting but also important to study how the environmental changes mentally affect the soldier and his ability to solve his duties. The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of the environment on the soldier and the soldier's response to dealing with this effect. The study aims to test I-ADAPT Theory in a new context, investigating how external factors, in the environment of FS22, affect the soldier's mental processes. The results of the study showed primarily that the establishments of routines had a great impact on the soldiers’ performance and their ability to adapt to the new environment.

Full textAbstract:
L'objectif de cette thèse est l'analyse d'erreur a posteriori et la proposition de stratégies d'adaptivité basées sur des critères d'arrêt et de raffinement local de maillage. Nous traitons une classe d'équations paraboliques dégénér ées multidimensionnelles modélisant des problèmes importants pour l'industrie. Au chapitre 1 nous considérons le problème de Stefan instationaire a deux phases qui modélise un processus de changement de phase régi par la loi de Fourier. Nous régularisons la relation entre l'enthalpie et la température et nous discrétisons le problème par la méthode d'Euler implicite en temps et un schéma numérique conforme en espace tel que les élément finis conformes, ou les volumes finis centrés aux sommets du maillage. Nous démontrons une borne supérieure de la norme duale du résidu, de l'erreur sur l'enthalpie dans L2(0; T;H-1) et de l'erreur sur la température dans L2(0; T;L2), par des estimateurs d'erreur entièrement calculables. Ces estimateurs comprennent : un estimateur associé à l'erreur de régularisation, un estimateur associé à l'erreur d'une méthode de linéarisation (par exemple, la méthode de Newton), un estimateur associé à l'erreur en temps et un estimateur associé à l'erreur du schéma en espace. Par conséquent, ces estimateurs permettent de formuler un algorithme adaptatif de résolution où les erreurs associées peuvent être équilibrées. Nous proposons également une stratégie de raffinement local de maillages. En fin, nous prouvons l'efficacité de nos estimations d'erreur a posteriori. Un test numérique illustre l'efficacité de nos estimateurs et la performance de l'algorithme adaptatif. En particulier, des indices d'efficacité proches de la valeur optimale de 1 sont obtenus. Au chapitre 2 nous développons des estimations d'erreur a posteriori pour l'écoulement de Darcy polyphasique et isothermique, décrit par un système couplé d'équations aux dérivées partielles non linéaires et d'équations algébriques non linéaires. Ce système est discrétisé en espace par une méthode de volume finis centrés par maille et la méthode d'Euler implicite en temps. Nous etablissons une borne supérieure d'une norme duale du résidu augmentée d'un terme qui tiens compte de la non-conformité des volumes finis par des estimateurs d'erreur a posteriori entièrement calculables. Dans ce chapitre, nous nous concentrons sur la formulation d'un critère d'arrêt de l'algorithme de linéarisation du problème discrète (tel que la méthode de Newton) avec un critère d'arrêt du solveur algébrique de résolution du système linéarité (par exemple la méthode GMRes), de sort que les contributions des estimateurs d'erreur correspondant n'affectent plus la somme globale des estimateurs d'erreur de manière significative. Nous appliquons notre analyse sur des exemples réalistes d'ingénierie de réservoir pour confirmer qu'en général notre ajustement des critères d'arrêt apporte une économie significative (jusqu'au un ordre de magnitude en termes du nombre total des itérations du solveur algébrique), déjà sur des maillages fixes, et ceci sans perte notable de précision. Au chapitre 3 nous complétons le modèle décrit au chapitre 2 en considérant une condition non-isothermique pour l'écoulement a fin de traiter le modèle général d'écoulement polyphasique thermique dans les milieux poreux. Pour ce problème, nous développons des estimateurs d'erreur analogues a ceux du chapitre 2 pour lesquels nous établissons une borne supérieure d'erreur entièrement calculable, pour une norme duale du résidu complétée par un terme d'évaluation de la non-conformité. Nous montrons ensuite comment estimer séparément chaque composante d'erreur, ce qui nous permet d'ajuster les critères d'arrêt et d'équilibrer les contributions des différents estimateurs d'erreur : erreur d'approximation en temps, erreur d'approximation en espace, erreur de linéarisation et erreur du solveur algébrique. Ce chapitre se termine par une application des estimateurs au modèle d'huile morte. La preuve de l'efficacité de notre estimation a postiriori est egalement fournie. Finalement, au chapitre 4 nous considérons les procédés de récupération assistée d'huile. Plus précisément, nous étudions une technique de récupération thermique d'huile de type huile morte par injection de vapeur destinée a augmenter la mobilité des hydrocarbures. Dans ce chapitre, nous appliquons l'analyse a posteriori des chapitres 2 et 3, nous proposons une formule de quadrature pour simplifier l'évaluation des estimateurs, nous proposons un algorithme adaptatif de raffinement de maillages en espace et en temps basé sur les estimateurs et nous illustrons pas des essais numériques sur des exemples réalistes la performance de cette stratégie de raffinement. Notamment, des gains significatifs sont réalisés en terme du nombre de mailles nécessaires pour la simulation sur des exemples en dimension trois.

The purpose of this research is to understand the relationship between the attitude soldiers hold during compulsory military service, the interpersonal relationship in the army, as well as the adaptation to military lives. Questionnaires were used in this research to collect data. Three scales were used, including “Attitude during Military Service Scales”, “Interpersonal Relationship in the Army Scales”, and “Adaptation to Military Lives Scales”. Research samples were soldiers paying compulsory military services selected from Taichung 10th Army Group. Descriptive Analysis, Exploratory Factor Analysis, Confirmative Factor Analysis, MANOVA, as well as Path Analysis were used. The main research result includes: 1. Among their general adaptation situation, soldiers showed “anxiety” in the attitude they hold during compulsory military service; among their interpersonal relationship, “relationship anxiety” appeared to be a serious problem in the interpersonal relationship in the army; among their adaptation situation, “adaptation to vacation policy” seemed more difficult. 2. Soldiers with educational background under college showed more problems in their attitude, interpersonal relationship, and adaptation phases than do those who have higher educational background. 3. Soldiers who joined the army “less than a month” had the best general adaptation, while those who enrolled “over six months” was the runner-up, soldiers who adapted worst were those who enlisted “between one and six months”. 4 When it comes to social support, soldiers with intimate relationships outside of the army had worse attitude, interpersonal relationship, ,and adaptation situation, while soldiers who had good friends in the army showed better general life adaptation. 5. The attitude soldiers hold during compulsory military service as well as their interpersonal relationship in the army have both a direct and significant effect on soldiers’ general life adaptation. In other words, when soldiers hold more positive attitudes during their military service period, have better interpersonal relationships, they adapt better to military lives, and vice versa. Suggestions to future research , military education and mental health personnel in the military were proposed according to the research findings.

Full textAbstract:
This study explored factors that lead to adaptation among married women in
the military during the stressor of deployment. The Double ABCX Model of Family
Stress and Adaptation (McCubbin & Patterson, 1 983a, 1 983b, 1 983c) provided a
strong theoretical model for this study, on which the empirical model for this study
was based. In this study's empirical model, the variables that led to adaptation include
the stressor event of military deployment, pile-up of demands (marital pile-up, family
pile-up, financial pile-up, and job pile-up), resources (personal resources, family
system resources, and social support resources), and perception (perception of
deployment and perception of all). The 1999-2000 United States Air Force
Community Needs Assessment was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling and
Multiple Hierarchical Regression.
The Structural Equation Modeling Analysis did not yield a path model and a
Multiple Hierarchical Regression was executed in order to determine which variables
in the path model contribute to adaptation. In this analysis, the independent variables
were entered according to the theoretical consideration of the Double ABCX Model of
Family Stress and Adaptation (McCubbin & Patterson, 1983a, 1983b, 1983c) and the
proposed path model. The results Multiple Hierarchical Regression indicate that pileup
of demands and resources provided a significant contribution to adaptation.
However, deployment and perception did not contribute to the variance in adaptation,
which was incongruent to previous findings.
The most significant limitation of the study is the disadvantages of conducting
a secondary analysis since measures available are less than ideal for the variables in
the model. There were several benefits of the study, including the inclusion of women
in the military, improvement of the Double ABCX Model of Family Stress and
Adaptation (McCubbin & Patterson, 1983a, 1983b, 1983c), and potential early
evaluation and intervention of families during periods of stress. Future research is
indicated, focusing on extended deployments, qualitative studies exploring the role of
perception in adaptation, other understudied population in the military (civilian
husbands, men in the military, and dual military couples), and additional model
improvement.Graduation date: 2004

This study mainly explored the solders’ tendencies of communication motivations, channels, and nonverbal communication, and further investigated their interpersonal communication competence as well as the degree of their adaptation to military lives. Moreover, the research discussed the relations between interpersonal communication competence and adaptation to military lives and the variations among the soldiers with different backgrounds. This study was conducted through questionnaire survey. By means of purposively random designed sampling, the soldiers from fifteen companies of ROC Armed Forces were chosen as participants. Total of 811 questionnaires were issued in which 736 were retrieved and 657 were valid. The research results are as follows: 1.To convey a problem / to report a situation was the soldiers’ main communicative motivation to communicate with their superiors. In the case of solder-to-soldier peers, chatting / sharing inner thoughts was the major motive. The channels mainly used were face-to-face conversations and mobile phones. In the respect of non-verbal communication, facial expression was highly utilized and the tone / volume was secondly most employed. 2.While communicating with their superiors, the top cognition degree was the empathy and the least factor was the communication motivation. As for the communication with solder-to-soldier peers, the empathy was the most crucial, yet the capability to listen attentively was the least crucial consideration. 3.Under these two communicative circumstances, the soldiers’ communicative abilities were significantly different. 4.Concerning the adaptation to military lives, the mindset ranked the highest, and the physical and mental health was the lowest. 5.The study showed that soldiers with different ages, ranks, classes, seniorities, and educational backgrounds were not correlated with their adaption to military lives. 6.The interpersonal communicative competence and adaptation to military lives were significantly positively correlated, and thus could effectively predict the ability of adaptation to military lives. Based on the finding above, this study proposed the following recommendations: 1.Explore the talents in specific expertise and encourage interpersonal interactions. 2.Keep track of soldiers in the company by dint of interpersonal networks. 3.Cadres should communicate voluntarily and establish friendly interactions. 4.Improve personal counseling and relieve negative emotions.

The percentage of female voluntary personnel in ROC Armed Forces has been increased year by year. However, several incidents involving female personnel having accommodation issue have been reported in recent years. This study aims to explore the current status and relationships among Life Adaptation, Leadership Power, and Life Satisfaction for female voluntary soldiers in Navy training courses. The study investigated female trainees in Naval Technical School (NTS) and Marine Corps School (MCS) as an object of the study. Once deleted the missed and invalid questionnaires, a total number of 433 questionnaires was valid. By utilizing research tools such as life adaptation scale, leadership power scale, life satisfaction scale and analyzing statistic methods including descriptive statistics, reliability test, factor analysis, Pearson’s product-moment correlation, and hierarchical regressions, the conclusions of the study were as followed: (1) Life Adaptation is positively associated with and has significant impact on Life Satisfaction. (2) Leadership Power is positively associated with and has significant impact on Life Satisfaction. (3) Leadership Power has significant interference effect on Life Adaptation and Life Satisfaction. Moreover, the research not only provided explanations on the conclusions but also explored the applications of the research outcome. Therefore, some suggestions to both naval training facilities mentioned above and the female personnel were made as follows: (1) Strengthen personal and team life adaptive ability. (2) Sharpen the cadre’s management measures and abilities. (3) Cadres are timely to elicit self-leaming from female volunteers and continuously enhance their knowledge and professional skills. In addition, a few feasible directions for follow-up researches were provided.

McFate, Montgomery. "Tom Harrisson and Unconventional Warfare." In Military Anthropology, 155–98. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190680176.003.0005.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter asks: what can we learn about unconventional warfare from the experience of Tom Harrisson – anthropologist, soldier and hell-raiser extraordinaire who led an army of Kelabit warriors against the Japanese in Borneo during World War II? Harrisson’s military expertise was unconventional warfare, a form of conflict in which soldiers work ‘by, with, and through’ indigenous forces. Working alongside local people to fight an illegitimate government or occupation force requires rare and unusual personal attributes and skills, even beyond the ordinary military virtues of intelligence, courage, expertise with weapons, etc. Unconventional warfare necessitates three things in soldiers who practice this form of warfare: deep local knowledge; acculturation to the local society, and adaptation to the indigenous way of war. Harrisson’s remarkable experience in the jungles of Borneo not only illustrates the importance of these personal skills and attributes, but also the dangers inherent in using them.

Full textAbstract:
These hypotheses propose brain and behavioural evolution as the driver of the adaptations that are now leading to CVD and DM2. Of these, the behavioural switch, also known as the soldier-to-diplomat, hypothesis is best developed. The concept is that as humans moved from hunter-gatherer to settled agricultural lives, complex changes occurred to support this lifestyle, e.g. reduced aggression, more resources to nurture fewer children, and preferential use of glucose by the brain rather than by muscle. Insulin resistance is seen as a secondary—once beneficial—adaptation underlying this change. This hypothesis implies insulin resistance is valuable and it also provides an explanation for South Asians’ reduced muscle mass. Similar ideas have been proposed on longer evolutionary timescales, e.g. the aggression control hypothesis. At present the evidence from these hypotheses does not explain South Asians’ particular susceptibility to CVD and DM2. The hypotheses do, valuably, point to the brain’s central role in glucose metabolism.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the 1979 BBC 2 serialised adaptation of John Le Carré’s Tinker Tailor Solider Spy, positioning this as the first instance of the BBC seizing the initiative over ITV in the spy genre. It explores how this was produced within the BBC classic serial tradition, most traditionally reserved for adapting canonical 19th century novels, whilst the casting of acclaimed actor Alec Guinness in central role of George Smiley imparted further prestige from film and theatre. It argues that the serial achieved its popular impact through embracing the complex narrative pleasures of the long-form serial, whilst countering this with the simple through line of a whodunit (or mole-hunt) storyline, offering multiple possibilities for audience engagement. Finally, it argues that through extensive location filming the serial was able it to effectively visualise some of the elegiac themes of the novel through landscape and architecture.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the role of technological adaptability during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. At the tactical level, it examines how soldiers in Iraq developed “hillbilly armor” to try to protect their vulnerable vehicles from roadside bombs, and how Apache helicopters were successfully adapted to conduct close air support missions in Afghanistan. It also argues, however, that technological adaptability at the institutional level involved disastrous failures. In Iraq, virtually all senior Pentagon officials repeatedly resisted providing adequate numbers of life-saving vehicles called MRAPs to deployed soldiers facing grave threats from improvised explosive devices. And in Afghanistan, the army stubbornly supported its poorly performing intelligence analysis system, called DCGS-A, for more than a decade, despite overwhelming evidence that commercially available software from Palantir would work better and save the lives of more soldiers.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the role of technology in military adaptation, and the markedly different challenges of technological adaptability at the tactical and institutional levels. At the tactical level, technological adaptability requires leaders and soldiers to approach problems with creativity, manufacture solutions on the battlefield, and disseminate solutions rapidly across the force. At the institutional level, technological adaptability requires effective communication with soldiers on the battlefield, and overcoming bureaucratic hurdles within established acquisition processes. The chapter includes case studies of French tank development during World War I and US Army tank development and battlefield modifications during World War II in Europe.

This chapter explores the role of leadership adaptability at the tactical level during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. It examines how Colonel Sean MacFarland and his US Army brigade successfully adapted to conditions in Ramadi, and dramatically reduced the very high levels of violence in this critical Iraqi city in 2006. It also examines the remarkable adaptability of Captain Mark Nutsch and his 12-man team of US Army Special Forces soldiers, known as the Horse Soldiers, during the opening weeks of the war in Afghanistan in 2001. Their strikingly creative efforts helped achieve a critical strategic objective in the campaign to remove the Taliban from power.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the role of doctrine in military adaptation and how it prepares commanders and soldiers for the fog and friction of the battlefield. It argues that doctrine must remain flexible and open to change through a constant iterative process of improvement. Effective adaptation of doctrine also requires input from all levels of the chain of command and the ability to rapidly disseminate changes throughout the force. The chapter illustrates successful and failed adaptability of military doctrine using case studies of the French and German armies in World War II and the Egyptian and Israeli armies during the Yom Kippur War in 1973.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 7 retraces Bolger’s four-month stint in the South Pacific with pianist Little Jack Little. The two were the first entertainers to interact with Americans in the South Pacific. The USO sent just Bolger and Little to the South Pacific because many of the territories they would tour were still considered unfit for women, even for female nurses; Japanese militants were still on some of the islands. The logistics of battle in these islands and the impacts on Bolger and Little, as well as their audiences, are discussed. Simultaneously, the author traces Gwen Bolger’s attempts to secure Bolger a contract for a film with Rita Hayworth while Bolger was abroad. British director Victor Saville wanted Bolger for a supporting role in his forthcoming adaptation of the play Heart of the City. The film would be a Technicolor musical, telling the story of a London variety theater that refused to close for even a single performance during the Blitz.

Full textAbstract:
Much of the literature thus far has tended to aggregate child soldiers with child terrorists. This chapter distinguishes between child soldiers and children involved in terrorist organizations focusing on the areas in which the two phenomena diverge. After describing key cases from history, the chapter will take a theoretical approach to understanding children and terrorism as a function of a “substitution effect” (from economic theory) that children step in when adults are no longer available to perform the same tasks and contrast it with a competitive adaptation model in which terrorist organizations adapt to changing circumstances and exploit children as a tactical innovation.

Full textAbstract:
Historically, power die like MOSFETs have been packaged on lead frames using wire bonds as interconnects. To facilitate current carrying requirements, thick wires and sometimes also clips were used, to handle the total electrical and thermal conductivity requirements. As die are being thinned, it has become possible to take advantage of new electrical designs and locate source and drain on opposite sides of the die. Such die can now be easily packaged by embedding the power die in organic substrates. The die is bonded on a Cu pad and covered by prepreg and copper foil during lamination. Source, drain and gate pads are accessed from the top side with laser vias and filled with plated copper. Finally, the top side is patterned and protected with solder mask. An exemplary process flow will be described here. Electrical and thermal modeling data will be presented to demonstrate the performance efficiency while reducing the form factor in accordance with the miniaturization of mobile applications. Aside from single die packages, more advanced packages can be built containing multiple power die and controller die. The basic process flow remains the same but does require some adaptation. If so desired, additional components may be assembled on top of the embedded die package leading to further integration and miniaturization.
