The disciplined initiative was vital in Operation Anaconda because it enabled troops to make critical decisions and act rapidly in fast-paced and uncertain situations (Kugler, 2007). General Hagenbeck gave his men authority if they adhered to the mission's overarching goals and the commander's intentions. Despite tremendous obstacles, the troops responded quickly and successfully finished the operation. Risk Acceptance The principle of risk acceptance highlights the significance of limiting risks that are not necessarily necessary to achieve mission objectives.
You Will Be The Judge Facts: The case involves a 12 year old child named Griffin Grimbly who told the teacher that he was beaten with a clothesline by his father Mr.Gimli. In court, the Mr.Gimli argued that he was devoted to Christian and was following the Biblical injunction on child rearing, “Spare the rod and spoil the child”, as well as arguing that s 43 of the criminal code gives parents the right to use “reasonable force” in disciplining their children. Issue: Is Mr. Grimbly is guilty of or not guilty of assault ? Held: Mr.Grimbly is guilty of assault.
In Bell v. Wolfish, the Supreme Court had to determine if violations of the eight amendments had occurred under the “punitive intent standard” which distinguishes between incarceration and detainment. The court also had to determine if any violations of the eighth amendment had occurred which resulted in cruel and unusual punishment being inflicted upon the inmates who were primarily housed as pretrial detainees. The case alleged that within a new constructed federal jail in New York City
On December 28th, 2010 a member of the Aryan Brotherhood was sentenced to an outstanding 450 month prison term in Crane, Texas (ABC15, 2016). To further put this court decision into perspective, 26 year old Steven Scott Cantrell was fated to servfe a 37.5 year sentence that would result in him being released after he is well into his mid-60s. Cantrell was found guilty for hate crime charges that stemmed from a series of racially-motivated arsons in December 2010. He was involved in setting fire to a historic African-American church and the attempted murder of a disabled black man (ABC15, 2016).
Caption: Brumfield v. Cain, 576 U. S. ____ (2015). In this case, Brumfield, the petitioner, wants the United States Supreme Court to review a decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit. Facts: Kevan Brumfield was convicted of murder of Betty Smothers, and was sentenced to death by a Louisiana court. This court decision was made before ruling that the 8th Amendment prohibits execution of the intellectually disabled under Atkins v. Virginia. Using the Atkins Mandate, in State v. Williams (2001), the Louisiana Supreme Court decided a hearing must take place to decide if Williams was actually intellectually disabled.
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 . General Douglas
Mission command and understanding the mission were critical to whether he and his Soldiers would be successful or not. Throughout the deployment, his firm understanding of operations and concern for the operational environment led to accomplishments and breakthroughs for the Iraqi people and his division with the implementation of governance, civil authorities, and overall improvement of
Moreover, the fact that this case was not over turned even though it was recognized as a gross mistake is interesting in itself. Forty years after the fact in the case of Korematsu v. United States, 584 F.supp. 1406 (N.D. Cal. 1984), Korematsu’s writ of coram nobis was granted. A writ of coram nobis allows a court to correct the error of fact in an original judgment. This eradicated Korematsu’s previous conviction.
Now, we address the following issues: Is it within Congress’s authority to remove an officer of the executive branch and appoint another in office? Does the act also violate the separation of power doctrine by granting the House of representative the authority to review and reject policies implemented by the new director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons? I argue that the act did not violate the principles of the constitution. The mechanisms set forth to appoint and remove a government official differs based on whether the person in question is a principal officer, or an inferior officer. In Morrison v. Olson, Justice Rehnquist describes how the two differ for purposes of appointment.
In 1945, the High Court of Australia heard the case of Gratwick v Johnson and ultimately decided to dismiss the appeal in a unanimous decision by the Judges. While different reasoning was employed, all five judges drew the conclusion that the appeal should be dismissed as the statute the defendant was charged under was inconsistent with s.92 of the Australian Constitution. To provide some context for this case in 1944, Dulcie Johnson was charged with an offence against the National Security Act 1939-1943 in that she did contravene par.3 of the Restriction of Interstate Passenger Transport Order by travelling from South Australia to Western Australia by rail. In brief terms par.3 of the Restriction of Interstate Passenger Transport Order provided that no person shall, without a valid permit, travel from state to state or territory.
Summary: In 1973 the supreme court had the "Doe vs. Bolton" case. This case had to deal with abortion. In Georgia the abortion laws were if a woman was either in danger or could die from the pregnancy, the fetus could be born with a serious birth defect, or the woman was pregnant because she was raped. You also had to be approved to get an abortion by 3 different physicians and a special committee of the staff where abortions were performed.
Through court cases like District of Columbia v. Heller, the Second Amendment was clarified to extend the right to possess firearms for “traditionally lawful purposes” from simply militia related services. McDonald v. Chicago further expanded the application of the Second Amendment by holding that it was applicable to states through the Fourteenth Amendment. Furthermore, these two cases were tied together as the Supreme Court held in District of Columbia v. Heller that the right to self-defense was a “fundamental” and “deeply rooted” right which in turn allowed the Supreme Court to rule that based on the 14th Amendment and the precedent established in the Heller case that the 2nd Amendment’s guarantee of the right to bear arms was applicable to states for the purpose of self-defense. There are three
Candidate Dupuy briefed an inaccurate mission statement and did not appropriately present a scheme of maneuver or tasks to his subordinates. His operations order lacked critical thought as he sought to regurgitate the information provided to him by higher. As a result, he did not develop an initial plan and his subordinates were unsure of how to begin execution. Following the operations order, Candidate Dupuy was able to regain composure and began to task his subordinates accordingly. SNC was clear and concise in his instructions, and placed himself in a position to effectively control the unit as it attempted to negotiate the obstacle.
He demonstrated a superior understanding of the assigned mission and made decisions that maintained constant focus on the assigned mission. When his initial plan failed, SNC quickly took
Reading Log #1 Describe a Setting Pages 1-65 In the novel Catch-22, the author, Joseph Heller, forms the setting in the time of World War II in an US airbase on the island Pianosa in Italy. In chapter three, the author describes a bit about the setting of the book in two different pages: “They were waiting for the orders sending them home to safety to return from the Twenty-Seventh Air Force Headquarters in Italy…” (27), and, “…there were many officers’ clubs that Yossarian had not helped build, but he was the proudest of the one on Pianosa” (18). Over time the reader learns that the camp has a runway, hospital, mess hall, an officer’s club, and a small forest. Also, due to an order by a commander, all the tents in the base are pitched in parallel lines with their entrances facing the Washington Monument.
