• Combined Forces Land Component Command (CFLCC) had six general officers; Transitioning to from a Corp to a CFLCC requires more general officers and requires an increase of personnel which are polled from the Joint Manning Document (JMD), the table of organization that authorized the positions on the joint staff. • Deciding where to place critical command elements • A corps headquarters was the Army’s highest tactical headquarters and normally functioned at the tactical and operational levels of war. During, the transitional process to a CFLCC, however, the corps is required to operate at the tactical, operational, and theater-strategic levels of war. Once augmented, Army doctrine also held that the Corps might have responsibility to create
The class identified the capabilities and shortfall each service. Additionally, Title 10 requirements of each service were discussed. Along with which military service is responsible to fill the shortfalls and gaps. In conclusion, C300 was instructions pertaining to a Joint environment.

Officer Penrose volunteered to be assigned the Tactical Operations Center (TOC) when he came to the unit. This vehicle is the largest and houses the most equipment of any of the vehicles assigned to the unit. Maintaining the TOC includes the monthly inspection, maintenance, documenting and replenishing the inventory as well as the operation of the vehicle. Officer Penrose also maintains, inspects and recharges the electronics assigned to the unit. Officer Penrose completes his inspections in a timely manner and advises me of the complications with the equipment and the status of our inventory on a regular basis.
Analyzing the mission command principles and the commanding officer’s actions will also be discussed. Specifically, as it relates to building a cohesive team through mutual trust, providing a clear commander’s intent, and accepting prudent risk. While the battle of Fort Riviere and the resulting occupation of Haiti occurred over a century ago, it provides us with an example of American foreign policy during this period and bares resemblance to future American military
Vimy Ridge was one of the greatest battles of Canadian history, it was part of the opening phase of the British-led Battle of Arras, a diversionary assault for the French Nivelle Offensive. This essay will describe the success of the Canadian troops, the battle’s significance, and the importance of the positioning with respect to the geography of the land. The actual battle took place 5:30 am Easter Monday April 9th 1917, but the planning of the attack took place for more than 5 months beforehand starting in November of 1916. Rehearsals and training also occurred, and the soldiers were trained specifically for each position in the war.
Through deliberate thought, Congress has staggered the terms of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff so it is not coterminous with the President. Subject to the authority, direction, and control of the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff serves as the spokesman for the commanders of the Combatant Commands, especially on the operational requirements of their commands (Cornell Legal Information Institute). The Chairman confers with and obtains information from the commanders of the Combatant Commands with respect to the requirements of their commands; evaluate and integrate such information; advise and make recommendations to the Secretary of Defense with respect to the requirements of the Combatant Commands, individually and collectively; and communicate, as appropriate, the requirements of the Combatant Commands to other elements of the Department of Defense (Cornell Legal Information Institute). Additionally, the Chairman has a bit of autonomy in the sense that he is the primary military advisor to the president as well as the National Security Council, the Homeland Security Council, and the Secretary of
With the title of Supreme Allied Commander, Gen Wainwright was now in charge of approximately 85,000
This move was recommended in order to create the Maneuver Center of Excellence and further consolidate TRADOC commands. Once these recommendations were accepted and the Modern Brigade Combat Team concept was adopted by the Army the personnel assigned to these affected units were coded by the Army to participate in the BRAC moves. These codes were placed on assigned personnel in order to retain training continuity throughout the time of these moves. This complete revamping of the Department of Defense is not a common occurrence and took years to be accepted and implemented. Because of the BRAC move and my assignment as an ARC Instructor/Writer I was relocated to Fort Benning, GA along with the entire 316th Cavalry Brigade.
ADRP 6-0 states, “Mission command is the exercise of authority and direction by the commander using mission orders to enable disciplined initiative within the commander’s intent to empower agile and adaptive leaders in the conduct of unified land operations.” Effective mission command enables mission success. However, ineffective mission command can dismantle a well-designed plan. Major General Roberts failed to build cohesive teams through mutual trust, create shared understanding, use mission orders, and accept prudent risk.
The CJCS also outlines and writes the National Military Strategy provided to Combatant Commanders as military context and translation of the National Defense
What are some of the challenges and operational requirements associated with the transition from a corps headquarters to a CFLCC headquarters? Under modularity, division and corps are designed to provide flexible command and control packages for the employment of land forces as part of a joint, and/or multinational and interagency force. Making the transition from G staff to a J staff is a significant problem-solving challenge. The operational requirements associated with the transition must generate an effective CFLCC headquarters that is capable of conducting rapid and thorough analysis, decision making, and product development. Organizing the staff by functional area rather than along traditional staff lines may immediately increase the
By definition, “mission command is the exercise of authority and direction by the commander using mission orders to enable disciplined initiative within the commander’s intent to empower agile and adaptive leaders in the conduct of unified land operations,” according to ADRP 5-0. Mission command is about knowing when to change the task to fit the purpose. This paper is intended to analyze the mission command of one side of the battle, focusing on the commander’s role in the operations process. The Battle of Bunker Hill was the most important battle of the American Revolution because of Colonel Prescott’s superior command and control.

I will provide continuous personnel service support operations during build-up, surge, and combat operations. I will provide rapid and responsive support in all situations.
Returning to the 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) to assume command as the brigade commander brings me much joy to be reunited with great Non-Commission Officers and Officers that I have previously served with. Unfortunately, this brigade is no longer the brigade I remember when I commanded a battalion within the 4th ABCT not so long ago. In the last 30 days, I have had the opportunity to observe the ABCT and review a multitude of historical documents to assess the state of the brigade. During my observation, I believe the critical leadership problem in the 4th ABCT’s is the lack of vision for the brigade. Therefore, this critical problem has led to other challenging issues within the brigade.
