In the autobiography, Farewell to Manzanar, Woody Wakatsuki, the main character's brother, shows actions that reveal who he is as a character. Woody is always positive and lighthearted, even at the hardest of times. The first way that Woody shows his lighthearted attitude is when he jokes around. " 'You get those covered up before breakfast time. Any more sand comes in here through one of them knotholes, you have to eat it off the floor with ketchup"' (Wakatsuki-Huston 25).
The armed forces have rendered critical support to state and local (SL) government dating back to the establishment of the nation. Post-9/11, the federal government has taken measures to foster a unity of effort while also encouraging interoperability among all levels of government and the private sector.

Realizing the need, Major General Petraeus soon began to employ the division to work local nationals to restart water and electricity and working to reopen schools (Lundberg, 2008).

For example, according to Lundberg, he utilized assets such as Army engineers to begin clearing rubble and debris from cities, villages, and roadways. Conclusion Providing a strong leadership approach and willingness to take risk, Major General Petraeus was put on a mission to develop and implement strategy to establish stability in Mosul, Iraq.
They should of delegated the work to the 22 other agencies and seen what worked best for the overall department.

Some chronic problems happened to come back from past wars and continued to test the people in positions of power on their ability to prove if they have truly learned from those who made the decisions before them. One of those repeat offenders is the always present problem with the downsizing of the military in times of peace rendering it incapable to
My intent is to provide a clear vision to the 4th ABCT, that states, “Be the best armor brigade in the world, consisting of trained, responsible, motivated, and caring Soldiers and Families; capable of executing any assigned mission with unequaled success.

High security should be a priority for the employees to work in these centers. There are actions that may be suggested to make the DHS more involved into the Fusion Center. In order for the DHS to be involved more there should be more interaction from DHS with the Fusion Centers. There is a protocol in place; however, DHS and the other emergency management branches within that state should review it. Having the training and everyone being involved with the base line as well as the reviewing may make a difference down the road.
Once you put on that Adjutant General shield, you are immediately depended on. This dependence spans outside of just the Soldiers that you see and associate with on a regular basis. Soldiers rely on us, to not only make sure their records are updated accurately and on time, spouses look to us to make sure that pay is submitted correctly and timely, children look forward to the events we help coordinate, parents look to us to make sure we are giving their Soldiers the best information about the benefits they enlisted for. One thing that has always been taught to me is that, we have three tasks that will make or break us: efficiency, effectiveness, and meeting the needs of Soldiers. If we cannot submit documents in a timely matter, we have failed.

Most organized Armies focus on the importance of accountability and teach it in the very beginning stages of readiness. Accountability includes things such as showing up on time to safeguarding sensitive records, keeping account of resources to watching out for fellow soldiers. Almost everything can be tied back to the importance of accountability.
