A Soldier Supporting Soldiers by Joseph Heiser, Jr.,Jr. Joseph Heiser, M. Pdf

A Soldier Supporting Soldiers is the second in a series of works by distinguished U.S. Army logisticians that focus on firsthand experience in the organization of combat service support. These studies seek to describe and analyze problems still familiar to those who provide the materials and other support required by today's Army. Their authors also clearly underscore the challenges that their successors will face in an era of limited resources. With active careers that span the last half century of Army history General Carter B. Magruder, in the recently published Recurring Logistic Problems As I Have Observed Them and Lt. Gen. Joseph M. Heiser, Jr., in the pages that follow, have much to say to the student of military operations about what constitutes efficiency and effectiveness in military logistics. General Heiser's study marks a clear departure from the Center of Military History's policy of refraining from publishing biographies or memoirs. Although we believe that the compelling reasons for establishing such a policy fifty years ago still pertain, we also think an exception should be made in this case. General Heiser has a unique skill in conveying important logistical lessons through personal anecdotes. Especially in his early chapters, he uses specific incidents from his own career to illuminate for his reader larger principles of logistics. Thus in this special instance our audience is treated to an extended, personal account that in some ways has just as much to say about military leadership and ethic as it does about logistics. The logistical principles discussed in this study appear especially vital to today's military students, given the recent massive challenges tologisticians posed by operations in the Persian Gulf and possible future contingency operations. I urge them to study and reflect on the insights provided in the engaging chapters that follow. Harold W. Nelson Washington, D.C.Brigadier General, USA December 1990Chief of Milit

Empty Casing by Fred Doucette Pdf

When Canadian soldier Fred Doucette went to Bosnia-Herzegovina as a peacekeeper in 1995, he had a premonition that this tour of duty would be different from anything he had previously experienced. And it was. Doucette's tour quickly became an impossible task that took a huge toll on both the residents and his fellow peacekeepers. Trapped in thier beloved city, thousands of Sarajevans, perished, and yet, Doucette found a home in the midst of this hell. Billeted with a Bosnian family, he was offered a window into a Sarajevo that few outsiders saw. When the war ended, Doucette returned to Canada to face another battle, this one characterized by nightmares and brutal flashbacks. Traumatized, he had to face himself, his family, and his army once again, but now there was no turning away, no diversion in another foreign posting. Empty Casing is the riveting story of the making and unmaking of a soldier, and the growth of a man.

Tactical Display for Soldiers by National Research Council,Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education,Board on Human-Systems Integration,Panel on Human Factors in the Design of Tactical Display Systems for the Individual Soldier Pdf

This book examines the human factors issues associated with the development, testing, and implementation of helmet-mounted display technology in the 21st Century Land Warrior System. Because the framework of analysis is soldier performance with the system in the full range of environments and missions, the book discusses both the military context and the characteristics of the infantry soldiers who will use the system. The major issues covered include the positive and negative effects of such a display on the local and global situation awareness of the individual soldier, an analysis of the visual and psychomotor factors associated with each design feature, design considerations for auditory displays, and physical sources of stress and the implications of the display for affecting the soldier's workload. The book proposes an innovative approach to research and testing based on a three-stage strategy that begins in the laboratory, moves to controlled field studies, and culminates in operational testing.

Culture and the Soldier by H. Christian Breede Pdf

Countries have instituted policies to make their armed forces more inclusive, and soldiers now undergo cultural awareness training before seeing active duty. Policy makers and military organizations agree that culture is important. But what does “culture” mean in practice, and how is it important? Culture and the Soldier answers these questions by examining how culture both shapes the military and can be wielded by it, to good or ill effect. Through case studies from Europe and North America, this volume offers provocative insights into how culture can be deployed to improve armed forces at home and in military engagements abroad.

A Soldier First by Rick Hillier Pdf

In the summer of 2008, General Rick Hillier retired as Chief of the Defence staff of the Canadian Forces. You could almost hear the sigh of relief in Ottawa as Canada’s most popular, and most controversial, military leader since the Second World War left a role in which he’d been as frank, unpredictable and resolutely apolitical as any of his predecessors. Born and raised in Newfoundland, Hillier joined the military as a young man and quickly climbed the ranks. He played a significant role in such domestic challenges as the ice storm that paralyzed much of eastern Ontario and Quebec in 1998, and quickly became a player on the international scene, commanding an American corps in Texas and a multinational NATO task force in Bosnia-Herzegovina. But it was his role as General Rick Hillier, Canada’s Chief of the Defence staff, that defined him as a Canadian icon. In Afghanistan, Canada faced its first combat losses since the Korean War, with every casualty becoming front page news. A country formerly ambivalent, or even angry, about its role in the conflict suddenly became gripped by the drama unfolding not only in a war zone halfway around the world but in unfriendly conference rooms in Ottawa. There, as everywhere, Hillier pulled no punches, demanding more funding, more troops and more appreciation for the women and men fighting a war on foreign soil. This hard-hitting, honest account of Hillier’s role—told in his own words—will be one of the most important books published in Canada this decade.
