...during the post WWII and Korean War conflict played such an important role during this time period. The Marine Corps was going through a difficult time just like they are today, for instance after WWII the Marine Corps was downsizing and drawing back on most of their numbers just like they are today and little did they know that six years after WWII they would be engaged in another history making battle in South Korea. During WWII the Marine Corps had a population of approximately 485,000 and at the beginning of the Korean War our numbers were 74,279 but grew to over 250,000 by 1953. Since the Marine Corps took such a dramatic cut back during that six years the Marine Corps would really have to rely on what they had and that was NCO’s. The positive part about NCO’s at the time of them getting deployed to Korea and the end of WWII was that some of them have had combat experience because at the end of WWII most of them got released from active duty and when the Korean war broke out most of them were recalled back to the Marine Corps. Since the Marine Corps had such a low number of active duty personal and Marines getting recalled back to active duty to go to Korea that means that most of them were probley NCO’s and were relied on by commanders to make sure that the new Marines out of recruit training that were only basically trained Marines were now be trained by Marines that have seen harsh combat. The other roles that NCO’s played in the Korean War is that there was not...

...States Marine Corps there is a title given to any marine who achieves the rank of corporal and/or sergeant. That title is known as Non-Commissioned Officer. They are then given the opportunity to put the blood strip on their uniform. They are also given the opportunity to use the Marine Corps Non-Commissioned Officer’s sword. They are given more responsibility and put in charge of marines under their rank. Enlisted Marine Corps ranks are broken down into three levels, Junior Enlisted, Non-Commissioned Officers, and Staff Non-Commissioned Officers. As Marines move up the ladder his or her responsibility and contribution to the mission increases. This also means that those who have earned higher rank have a special responsibility to look out for the welfare of their subordinates. Traditionally, officers and noncommissioned officers of the Marine Corps wear a scarlet red stripe on their dress blue trousers to commemorate the courage and tenacious fighting of the men who battled before Chapultepec in the Mexican War. In the Corps, this stripe is more commonly known as the Blood Stripe. But how many realize that the battle at Chapultepec took place during one of the least bloody conflicts in the annals of U.S. Marine Corps history? Interestingly, more Marines were killed or wounded during the “Mayaguez Incident” battle with Khmer Rouge forces at Koh Tang Island, Cambodia, on May 14, 1975, than during the entire Mexican War. How many active duty Marines today remember the Marines of 2nd...

...THE ARMY PROFESSION AND THE AMERICAN CULTURE USAACE NCOA SSG John Krimes 15Z SLC 14-002 SFC Holmes “You are all leaders! And since you have no one to lead, you will lead yourselves!” These are the words that our Drill Instructor screamed at us at boot camp. The Profession of Arms or the Army Profession is found on leadership (Dempsey, n.d.). The Army Profession is unlike any other profession. The people of the greatest world-power depend on its military and its ability to protect their lands and their way of life. The Army Profession has very little room for mistakes and must continuously improve its knowledge of the profession in the changing face of technologies, enemy tactics and a changing American culture. Just as a doctor takes an oath to preserve life, so does a member of the American Armed Forces. The Army Profession is held to the highest standards. The U.S. Army is federally bonded by the U.S. Congress to preserve the peace and security of the U.S., to provide defense for the U.S., and to overcome any nation responsible for aggressive acts that imperil the peace and security of the U.S. (An Army White Paper, 2010). The preservation of peace and security can come at great costs. Members of the Armed Forces are aware of the potential ultimate sacrifice of not only themselves but of their men and women. Training in technical skills and leadership are not taken lightly. It is understood that knowledge in skill-sets and the perpetual education of...

Yet out of the 10 CEOs in Fortune 500 Companies, 30% have served in the United States Marine Corps. Most, if not all, former Marines attribute their success to the 14 leadership traits in tandem with the 11 leadership principles taught in Marine Recruit Training and beyond. This leadership training has enabled the Marines to become the most feared and respected fighting force on earth and continues to influence the community once Marines become civilians. Although this work has been researched and disseminated by the Marine Corps Institute, all lessons learned have come from real life and death situations and passed down to younger generations of Marines. These ‘soldiers of the sea’ continue to fight on active duty and contribute to their communities as civilians. Keywords: Leadership, Motivation.

...Leadership, Ethics, and Scandal Leadership and ethics are two topics that are a part of the training for all military leaders, both officers and enlisted and across all branches of service. Leadership can be defined in any number of ways. Kouzes and Posner quote Genentech executive Alan Keith as saying “Leadership is ultimately about creating a way for people to contribute to making something extraordinary happen” (Kouzes & Posner, 2007, p. 16). Keith’s idea of what defines leadership is one of the better definitions in print today. Ethics are defined as the moral principles that dictate a person’s or a group’s behavior. By using the ideas and writings of Terry Price (2008) and Craig Johnson (2012) a concept of what ethical leadership can be obtained. Ethical leadership is knowing what your core values are and having the courage to live them in all parts of your life in service of the common good; whether it is in private or in public (Price, 2008/ Johnson, 2012). Over the past few years the Army has seen its share of scandals involving a number of top leaders. A few of the more notable reports involved former four-star General William “Kip” Ward, one-star Brigadier General Jeffrey A. Sinclair, former Colonel James H. Johnson III, and former CIA Director and retired Army four-star General David H. Petraeus (Briggs, 2012, Nov. 15). Army four-star general William “Kip” Ward, the first officer to open the new Africa Command in 2008, came under scrutiny for allegations...
