To meet future challenges and opportunities the Department of Defense (DOD) must decide how to adjust the armed forces structure in an austere economic environment. Based on current strategic direction and fiscal constraints, the general force structure and capabilities necessary to rebalance Joint Force 2020 is a smaller but fully integrated joint military organization.

Compare and Contrast the Army Problem Solving Model (Process) with the Rapid Decision making and Synchronization Process. (C100) The Army Problem Solving Model, and the Rapid Decision Making and Synchronization Process (RDSP) are systems that commanders use to solve issues that may arise. While both systems are effective tools that commanders and their staff can use to solve problems, each system has strengths and limitations. The Army problem solving, and the RDSP use measures to identify a

The 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review report uses the term “irregular” only once in its one hundred and five pages and only in terms of a focus on building the joint force’s capability and capacity to deal with irregular warfare while maintaining a clear conventional and nuclear global superiority. Currently, the definition is ambiguous and results in conflict or duplication of efforts across Department of Defense stakeholders. For the purposes of this paper, the

The Department of Homeland Security’s “2014 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review” reviews six strategic challenges that are believed to be at high risk within the United States. Quadrennial Homeland Security Review is required to be updated every four years as it discusses present and futures risks, threats and consequences. The six strategic challenges that were analyzed from 2014 to 2018 are terrorist threats, cyber threats, biological concerns, nuclear terrorism, transnational criminal organizations
coordinated – quick and credible. They must speak to the conscience of people around the world.” Unfortunately, the U.S. military hasn’t been overly successful in this arena. There is much work to be done to improve SC efforts within the Department of Defense (DoD). Operational leaders appreciate that SC is a critical element to achieving victory in current and future conflicts, but continue to struggle with how to employ SC given the lack of doctrine. A view across the combatant commands illustrates
US leadership that promotes peace, security, and opportunity through stronger cooperation to meet global challenges.” The Defense Strategic Guidance, published in 2012, directs that DOD develop smaller, less-cost, creative ways to achieve national security by increasing advisory roles, rotational presence, and exercises. Complimenting both, the Quadrennial Defense Review, published in 2010, set two overarching objectives: rebalance of US forces to meet current and future wars; and refine processes
is imperative then, that the U.S. military forces are trained to fight wars falling on a spectrum of warfare and educated to distinguish the type of war they face. In order to protect national security interests as outlined in the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review, the U.S. armed forces must rebalance and be capable of conducting operations across the spectrum of conflict in order to win against both a regular and irregular adversary, combating a wide scope of tactics and strategies ranging from

So besides being responsible for the majority of key infrastructure while integrating with other entities, how does the private sector contribute to the overall defense of the United States? The Quadrennial Homeland Security Review of 2014 has established five key mission areas, the basic areas of the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) mission, to focus on and serve as a guide to security efforts that can
In April of 2009, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates announced the termination of the F-22 “Raptor” Fighter program. His action stopped production at 187 F-22s and ended a procurement process that spanned 28 years with an original goal of manufacturing 750 airplanes. The decision to end F-22 production was an initial step to reduce defense budgets and begin a reformation of the acquisition process. Several diverse and compelling factors contributed to this decision that collectively make it seem long

Uncertainty is the lack of knowledge regarding any hazardous event. Risk assessments have become very important in decision making for emergency managers. Many issues surround lack of data and randomness of natural hazards. All environmental parameters in risk assessment should be analyzed and taken into account. Two ways to counteract uncertainties would be to utilize probability theory and unclear logic. Community’s attentiveness to risk communication varies across hazard mitigation, emergency
Irregular warfare is a broad term that includes many different aspects of conflict against mostly irregular forces. Some of the aspects of irregular warfare include security force assistance, counterinsurgency, unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, peace keeping, stability operations, and counter-terrorism. Hybrid threats combine aspects of both conventional and irregular forms of warfare. Regular, irregular, and hybrid threats all describe the different characters of war that exist within
The Joint Force of tomorrow must be capable of defending against rapidly developing and highly lethal security trends of unprecedented scale. Chief among these trends are cyber integration, diffusion of power, and proliferation of lethal technology, which collectively will challenge our force development significantly. Unfortunately, these threats come at a time of unprecedented fiscal austerity requiring extreme measures to restore economic wellbeing. Joint Force 2025 must effectively embrace technology
Determine if hacking into a Web site is ever justifiable, applying your theory to a real-world case in which someone hacked into a system, including the name of the company and details. In general, hacking or more specifically cracking is not justifiable due to the negative connotations associated with the term. Hackers are generally categorized into three categories, white hat, black or grey hat (Arnone, 2005). White hats are personnel that are often employed to find holes, penetrate or exploit
Climate change is one of the most threatening problems of the world for so long. One of its biggest contributors is the burning of the fossil fuels that lead to the massive accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Addressing this problem is a very important basis in choosing the next president of the United States. In 2008, the then-president candidate Barack Obama made clear intentions on his platform about his plans relating to the environment. He was very eager to put solutions to the
