Spectrum of combat is the operation which military forces uses destructive or disruptive force against the adversary at a given time. Spectrum of peace support is the operation which military forces are deployed to restore peace and/ or relieve human suffering. Due to the differences in these two operations, there will be some constraints and contradictions in teams of training.
For this essay, I will be using peace support operation as an example to show how these constraints and contradictions are overcome. As most of the armed forces are designed for high-intensity conflict, they are constrained by their training and doctrine which are planned for conventional operations. Therefore peace support operation is divided into different levels and initiative has been setup to increase the number of fully trained peacekeeper in a shorter time.

However, recently, under the leadership of the Harper government, they have primarily been engaging in violent missions (Harper).

  • A Separate Peace Strengths And Weaknesses

    791 Words  | 4 Pages

    Strength develops in someone through their experiences which have the ability to make them an emotionally stronger person. A quote by Ernest Hemingway presents that “the world breaks everyone, then some become strong at the broken places.” Even those who suffer the most will have the ability to bounce back at a stronger state. This theme reveals its relevance in A Separate Peace by John Knowles as we analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the main characters, Finny and Gene. Although some may insist that Finny’s emotional state fits the mold of a weak character, I have confidence that Finny has the most inner strength out of the two boys given his description and actions throughout the novel.

    In the UNSC’s article 51, individual and collective self-defense can be authorized by the UNSC under the framework of collective security. However, genocide is never justifiable in the eyes of the UN. Perhaps the most distinguishing feature between war and genocide is the disproportionally ability of those involved to fight back. Within war there is a certain level of understanding that those engaging in the conflict will have an ability to engage in battle. However, historically in genocides the effected groups have had little to no ability to proportionately fight against their attackers.

    in more of an open field style combat with much longer ranged shots, the troops were trained for that rather than being trained for the more urban and close proximity battles that they ended up participating in. Additionally, during the Revolutionary War, the United States struggled with the length of time that they would have the Combatants to their disposal because of the extremely small enlistment contracts they issued and agreed upon. Assuming that WWI would take place over multiple years, the military knew that they had to correct that past mistake. They decided that if they were going to train someone in the profession of arms, they needed to at least get ample use out of that individual which led them to extend the enlistment contracts as they felt needed. After the Revolutionary War was over, the United States was presented with some debt that they owed, and to pay that debt off they decided to use a system of bonds to borrow money from the people promising to pay them back in the future.
