I have had the unique opportunity during my career to have served in very diverse positions and assignments that have not only operational but strategic level importance. These distinctive assignments encompass the breadth and depth of the US Engineer Regiment. These experiences have given me a broad perspective of various US Army capabilities and their employment. Whether it was assignments with the 82nd Airborne Division and the Global Response Force during my Platoon Leader and Company Executive Officer time, or my Company Command time as the Commander of one of the most unique formations in the Army’s arsenal, Multi-Role Bridge Company. I was always able to understand the strategic importance of the assignments and maximize the readiness

  • 4th Outlined Brigade Combat Team Case Study

    1585 Words  | 7 Pages

    The 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team Without knowledgeable and qualified leaders at every level of civilian or military organization people will work in an unhealthy environment and their output and performance will suffer. Management or leadership lacking in leadership qualities will effect organizational culture and climate in a negative way, to the point that it will make the unit organization incapable of accomplishing the assigned mission. After a series of tragic events that occurred within the 4th ABCT during their last deployment in Afghanistan, I have no doubt in my mind that commanding them is going to be challenging. During the last few weeks, I had the opportunity to examine the historical unit records, CALL and CAL assessments, and conversations and observations with leaders throughout the Brigade and Division, which gave me some helpful information. This information has helped me in preparing the plan on how to meet with the upcoming challenge.

    2222 Words  | 9 Pages

    Leaders at all levels of the Army are faced with difficult decisions every day, decisions that can affect the lives of everyone around them. The thought processes used by individual leaders to make decisions can be as far reaching as their imagination; however, it is every leader’s responsibility to make these decisions using the tenants of mission command. Mission command is not an easy skill to master, however great leaders understand it and the proper use of it when planning a mission. Mission command is broken down into six major principles: Build cohesive teams through trust, create a shared understanding, provide a clear commanders’ intent, exercise-disciplined initiative, use mission orders and accept prudent risk .

    The 56th Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT), widely considered at one point in time as one of the elite ABCTs in the maneuver brigades in Forces Command, however it later encountered a variety of leadership problems before, during, and after its deployments. It is not surprising that my fellow leaders in the organization, COL Timmons and CSM Rose would face challenges, problems, or issues. The main concern in this case study points out how the leaders dealt or faced the challenges, which makes all the difference in the world when leading an organization.

    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.

    In the military, addressing existing problems and anticipating threats within the organization is a constant requirement. However, the ability of a leader to overcome these challenges or become bogged down by them is determined by their ability to think creatively, solve problems, and innovate solutions. Each problem that I have ever encountered in the military was different and always evolving. These tough problems spanned from simple networking faults to more complex interpersonal problems such as sailor depression. No matter what the problem, I was always in an environment where I was being confronted with a diverse set of challenges.

    As a profession of arms we have to keep balance. The two ways of balancing the role of a professional leader are with strategic leaders and the relationship between the Army’s culture and institutional practices. When the roles are balanced leaders have more professional satisfaction and are more likely to remain in the military.

  • My Reflective Writing Portfolio

    The components of my reflective writing portfolio parallel my developments as a writer who is more in tuned with herself—a creator. My revised essay was a piece that I wrote in my freshman English course. As I reread it for the first time in about two years, I was unclear as to what was the question or prompt that I was trying to address. That possibly speaks to a lack of clarity within my writing. However, while revising this piece, I was able to offer an extended, more evolved perspective; my goal was to better articulate to my audience the feelings that I possessed towards the subject.

  • Reflective Essay About Myself

    I have always hated writing about myself, and I always dreaded assignments in school where I had to describe myself. I always wanted to avoid doing these assignments because I did not want to sound narcissistic, or self-absorbed. I dislike people like that now, because I used to be one of those people. It took many lessons learned before I humbled myself; I am still learning to humble myself today with recent experiences I have had. Although I hate to write about myself, I have always liked to reflect on myself.
