INTRODUCTION “Heck (2013) defines effective schools by saying it should provide stable and consistent results over time that apply to all students within the school... Underlying the notion of school accountability is the belief that school personnel should be held responsible for improving student learning.” Society continues to change and so does the notion of what may be effective in schools.

broad outline the things that need to be done and the methods for doing them to accomplish the purpose set for the enterprise. Organizational staff members need to plan for change. Staff need different skills for planning. These include long-term for capital projects, medium-term for staffing, and short-term for day-to-day operations.” Using Gulick’s principles, an organization could solve its problems with communication and direction by instituting voluntary staff trainings for needed areas (e.g
Ph.D., of the US Naval War College, strategy is a process by which political purpose is translated into military action. It is a process as it requires constant management, reassessment and adaptation to make it effective. In the context of war, success is not just a matter of chance but greatly lies on the skills to analyze situation.

Operation Husky is a good case study of mission command and integration at the operational level. General Eisenhower and the Allied Headquarters performed subpar in exercising mission command and integrating service components during Operation Husky. The planning phase of Operation Husky highlighted a lack of mission command. The planning process lacked commander’s intent, understanding, and mutual trust. The operational phase of Operation Husky showed some integration of fires; and little integration

Operation overlord is the largest military invasion force in history. The operation consisted of over 133,000 troops from the Allied force (Eisenhower Library, 2023).

For a contemporary military leader in today’s Army problems exist, also within the leadership across the all ranks. Some may ask what relevance would the Battle of Carthage from the Civil War era have today ? The battle of Carthage was fought long ago, it involved different policies, and less significant technologies. Today’s leaders must understand the lessons learned and apply them to current operations. During the Battle of Carthage it showed that inexperience and failing to understand what
is one of the most significant events in world history, and is remembered to this day as a symbol of the Allies' eventual triumph in World War II. In this essay, we will explore the significance of D Day, the planning and execution of the massive operation, and the aftermath of the event. D-Day, which occurred on June 6th, 1944, was a landmark moment in World War II. It was a turning point in the war, and its success was critical to the Allied forces.

Dwight D. Eisenhower called D-Day a crusade in which, “we will accept nothing less than full victory”, but what made the operation so successful? In my investigation, I will try to find out if Operation Fortitude South was the main factor in the success of the D-Day landings in Normandy. I will also look at other factors such as; other covert operations, the Allied and Nazi spy network and the type of warfare used on the beaches of Normandy. Winston Churchill once said ‘the farther backward you can

The operation involved more than 150,000 American, British, and even Canadian troops! They were going to land on the beaches of Normandy, France and The landing came after extensive air and naval attacks of German defenses.

The officer 's plans included assassinating Hitler in his bunker and using the reserve army to gain control of Berlin and eventually all of Germany.

Leyte Operation, one must first understand the levels of war of which there are three. The three levels of war are strategic, operational, and tactical. In properly analyzing the posed question, I will expound on only the first two levels: strategic and operational. The strategic level of war focuses on defining and supporting national policy and relates directly to the outcome of a war or other conflict as a whole. The strategic level applies to all forms of war and conflict from military operations
There are two important military theorists from the French Revolution. Antoine-Henri Jomini, and Carl von Clausewitz both are the brightest military thinkers of their time. The Art of War is the best military document of the time. Jomini’s ideas and theories regarding statesmanship and its relationship to war, strategy, grand tactics, logistics, and engineering characterize the nature of WWI better than Clausewitz when viewed through the operational art of WWI. Jomini, though not a statesman understood

As a senior Army warrant officer and leader the study of military history has innumerable benefits. It gives us an in-depth background of past military operations and a potential gold mine of knowledge if harvested correctly.
