...PHILIPPINE AIR FORCE AIR EDUCATION AND TRAINING COMMAND AIR FORCE OFFICER SCHOOL Col. Jesus Villamor Air Base, Pasay City COMMANDANT’S PAPER THE IMPACT OF INTERNAL SECURITY OPERATION IN THE STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF AIR DEFENSE WING CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING 1.1 INTRODUCTION "Victory smiles upon those who anticipate the changes in the character of war, not upon those who wait to adapt themselves after the changes occur." - Giulio Douhet, Command of the Air A fitting quotation by Douhet for the case of Air Defense Wing wherein the organization was not able to anticipate the streamlining strategy of the government, leaving the Wing no choice but to adapt to the changes in the Command’s thrust of prioritizing Internal Security Operations rather than Territorial Defense Operations to prove its relevance as one of the primary unit of the Philippine Air Force. Caught unprepared of the significant changes in governments thrust, ADW is now suffering in terms of its force structure and budget allocation as it continues to fight for its relevance and existence as one of the premier unit of the PAF. The Background and Rationale of the Study Budget Allocation Statistically, the lowest percentage of allocation in National Budget is in Defense. Debt service gets the biggest share in the proposed budget at 34.1 percent. Social services and economic services follow with 27.9 percent and...

...best off of knowledge and technology. There was training conducted daily to get the job done and giving the other members that was flying the aircrafts the ability to complete their missions. With knowledge there was very little room for error and with the technology inside the aircrafts; the pilots never had problems when it comes to getting every mission done. There was one thing that the military lacked and that was physical assets to the parts or personnel that is needed to get the job done quicker. Knowledge means acquaintance with facts, truths, or principles, as from study or investigation (Dictionary,2011). This means in the military there are ways that every individual gain the knowledge to work in the field that are in on active duty. Each and every command in the United States Navy have to conduct on the job training daily and training from the book twice a week. The way they conducted that when it comes to be book training is to get a member of the lower paygrade to do the research and come up with a plan to train everybody else n the shop. By doing this it helps the individual to utilize the book and know where he got that information just in case they come across a problem. With the on the job training they can see how to do the job while using the materials at hand like laptops, paper manuals, and the tools that is needed to complete that job. The United States Navy also have certain quals that each member have to get in a certain amount of time. This is coming...

...then Unification into a homogenous organization. I believe that Paul Hellyer helped shape the Canadian Forces into what it is today and also I do think that the integration and unification was a bad thing at the time as if it didn’t happen back in the 1968 it surely would have happen at a later date with General Rick Hillier. I will look into the process that Paul Hellyer took in bringing these three different services together under unification and explore some other opinions that I have found amongst way vast research upon the web. In 1964 the Minister of National Defense Paul Hellyer published the White Paper on Defense. In it he proposed the unification of the three services, the creation of a single command structure reporting to the Chief of Defense Staff and the restructuring of the current geographically based commands into six function-based commands. The process began with the introduction of Bill C-90 creating the CDS’ office and a single chain of command and culminated with Bill 243 the Canadian Forces Reorganization Act in February 1968, which unified the three services and created the Canadian Forces, as we know it today. During the 1990’s to the present the CF’s commitments have increased dramatically when compared to the previous decade. There have also been major fiscal cutbacks whose effect has been to degrade our military capabilities. This has resulted in what is called a “commitment-capabilities gap” This is the point at which Military commitments...

...Leadership, Management and Command: The Officer’s trinity.[1] W B Howieson & H Kahn The acts of leading, managing and commanding (based on either philosophy or practice) have had to adapt throughout the history of the Royal Air Force, in concert with changing environments; these acts will have to change again in the 21st century and will require new skills, new attitudes and differing perspectives of the Officer’s trinity. INTRODUCTION There is a plethora of literature on leadership, management and command. In the civilian (business) market, there are – literally – thousands of books on leadership; management; and leadership and management as a ‘dual’ concept. However, there are no books in the business market on what the military call ‘command’.[i] In contrast, in the military domain, there are an equal amount of books on leadership; command; and leadership and command together. However, very little has been written – to date – about military management; this represents a very serious limitation. New business practices and performance management systems now require capable senior managers and leaders and private sector organizations have found clear strategic benefit in providing a structured approach to the developmental needs of senior executives. Although it is recognized that leadership, management and command are closely related (especially in the military environment), comparatively little has been written on the nature and practice...

...Cyprus perceptions and concerns about UAVs utilization in National Guard Stelios Nikolaou Communication Department Cyprus, Nicosia steliosloukanikolaou@gmail.com Abstract- In today's age of modern technology, the trend for even larger and broader use of unmanned air vehicles is evident, especially in the military sector. These modern designed aircrafts, autonomously or remote controlled, have already shown that they will play an important role in the future global environment. The research process which is used for describing methodology was grounded theory, with structure elicitation technique. Qualitative data were collected by a questionnaire, which referred to a number of 16 people who have Cypriot citizenship. This research, answered in questions such as: should Cyprus participate with drone procurement? Furthermore, what will be the reactions and concerns of civilians when they inform about the existence of this advanced program in National Guard and that can be used as a weapon? The existing army equipment is modern or obsolete? Must National Guard upgrade the existing weapons and communication equipment? Evaluating the results of the questionnaire it can be said that the majority of the participants believe that the current military equipment is not appropriate or high advanced and it needs to be upgraded with weapons and communication systems. Most of the participants supported the idea of introducing UAVs in the Cyprus army. Additionally...

...within the United States Navy James S. Reece Webster University Abstract This paper examines the supply system practices of the United States Navy within the context of naval wide fleet support. In today’s ever changing economy it is imperative that our national security forces stay current with practices and procedures of procurement of the finest materials needed to provide worldwide support for our nations warriors on the ground, airborne, and afloat. The supply system in general is a major player in the fight against terrorism, and national security in today’s society and has played this same critical role in many battles of the past. Without the in depth and vast support of the military supply system, we as Americans may not be walking freely as we do today. From the latest advances in weaponry to the nuts and bolts of each ship or aircraft, the naval supply system has proven to be the department responsible for delivering these vital parts to our security afloat and ashore enhancing combat capability. Throughout this paper I will give a brief history and evolution of the Navy Supply Corps, I will discuss the different aspects and missions of the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) to include each major supporting supply department, and I will cover the detailed government contracting process that supports the mission readiness of the United States Navy. My ultimate goal for this paper is to provide a base line understanding on the naval supply system and the methods...

This analysis will utilize Dr. Ross Pigeau and Carol McCann’s model to evaluate the dimensions relating to Harris’ Competency, Authority and Responsibility (CAR) and to assess the overall balance and effectiveness of Harris’ command. The CAR model was deemed most suitable to dissect pertinent aspects of this complex and controversial commander, allowing for the necessary depth of analysis into his abilities, responsibilities, beliefs, actions and reactions over a specific timeframe. This paper will illustrate that Harris, although highly skilled in many areas and having demonstrated impressive successes at the helm of Bomber Command, had a singular and seemingly intractable approach to war – to obliterate Germany’s war production capacity by area bombing its cities. This inflexible approach inhibited his...
