...8 Negative Image 9 SWOT Analysis 12 Conclusion 13 References 14 Introduction There are over 30 different major firearm manufacturers in the world today. This doesn’t even included small, privately owned companies within the United States and other countries. As children, we have played many different games that include some type of “firearm” whether it is our hand or a plastic toy. So it may come to some more naturally to be drawn towards firearms. Many families around the world own firearms. Even the United States Bill of Rights has a section, that “… the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” (U.S. Const. amend. II). Early History Interestingly enough, Heckler & Koch came about due to another firearms company, Mauser-Werke Oberndorf Waffensysteme GmbH, otherwise commonly known as Mauser. Mauser was a German arms manufacturer located in Oberndorf, Germany that was started in 1811. They manufactured weapons that would soon be used by the German Army during several wars. It wasn’t until World War II that Mauser would be out of commission as the territory the plant was located in became under control by the French military. The French dismantled the entire factory and destroyed all records. However, former Mauser engineers, Edmund Heckler, Theodor Koch and Alex Seidel, would salvage what they could from the ruins in order to try and continue building the weapons they had started. This would...

...Introduction to Criminal Justice United States Army Criminal Investigation Command The Criminal Investigation Division, also known as the CID, is a separate command within the United States Army that investigates felony crimes and serious violations of military law. The agency was formed in September of 1971. The CID is comprised of nearly 2,000 employees with a headquarters located at Marine Corps Base, Quantico, Virginia. This organization is considered a federal agency and exercises jurisdiction over military personnel who are suspected offenders of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, as well as civilian personnel when probable cause leads the agency to believe the person committed a serious offense under United States Code with a nexus to the U.S. Army. The CID investigates allegations within the United States Army. The command does not charge individuals with crimes. Official findings of each investigation are given to the appropriate command and/or legal authority for disposition and adjudication. Exclusive jurisdiction belongs to the CID in the investigation of all felony level crimes except for national security crimes such as treason or espionage. The United States Army Conterintelligence agency has jurisprudence over the investigation of national security crimes. There are six CID commands, 3rd MP Group, 6th MP Group, 202nd MP Group, 701st MP Group, US Army Criminal Investigation, Laboratory and US Army Crime Records Center. The organization has fewer...

...There have been a number of times in the United States history where there have been secret and top secret information has been disclosed or sold to another nation. Two of these occasions, unrelated, were because of Robert Philip Hanssen and Noshir Sheriarji Gowadia. Hanssen was an FBI agent who decided to sell top foreign intelligence and laundry list of other top secret information to Soviet Russian intelligence agencies. Hanssen’s actions are considered espionage because he was purposefully hiding what he was doing while employed by the FBI and using his clearance for his personal gain. Gowadia sold his own work in which he developed while working for Northrop Corp, which was actually selling military secrets. Gowadia sold these military secrets to China which resulted in the development of similar aircraft. The result of the actions of these two men was great damage to national security and putting at risk the safety of many, many people of not only the United States, but many people across the globe....

...July 29, 2008 The History of Snipers Snipers are by definition expert marksmen. Even before firearms were invented, there have been soldiers such as archers, who were specially trained marksmen. Snipers have special abilities, training, and equipment that allow them to do jobs that deliver highly accurate rifle fire against enemy targets which can't be attacked by regular riflemen due to variables such as visibility, range, the opportunity, size, or location. Statistics compiled from the Vietnam conflict estimate that the average number of rounds used per kill by United States Army Soldiers were 200,000 however the average number of rounds used per kill by United States Army snipers in Vietnam was only 1.3 (History). From the days of Leonardo da Vinci to Gunny Sergeant Carlos Hathcock II days in the Vietnam conflict, the development and use of snipers in combat has significantly contributed to successful warfare. Leonardo da Vinci is considered one of the earliest rifle snipers in history. He reportedly defended the walls of besieged Florence with a rifle that he designed himself (Henderson, xii). Elite air-riflemen were trained to shoot knights for France's Louis XIV and were considered the first modern snipers. Some authorities claim that their use made the use of knights obsolete. Snipers had from the beginning of their history have proven their effectiveness. The outcome of the American War for Independence may have been very different had it not been...

...Military veterans, from any branch of the service, often have very desirable skills that can assist them in transitioning from military life, to civilian life, and do so successfully. Military training can help prepare soldiers to thrive in various careers ranging from health care, food service, carpentry, aviation, police work and counter terrorism. In the case of Robbie Doughty, Michael Llitch was moved by Robbie’s story. Robbie’s courage, perseverance, and never say die attitude impressed Michael Llitch. These personality traits, along with the intense training programs designed to teach soldiers how to operate under a tremendous amount of physical and mental stress make them ideal candidates for civil service positions. Civil service has long been an attractive career opportunity for military veterans, due to the fact they can continue to use the skills they acquired during their military service, to make positive changes within their community. Patriotism and selflessness, courage and integrity, for some people, they are just words. However, to the men and women of the United States Armed Forces, those words are often a way of life. Because of this esprit de corps , veterans excel in the civil service industry. Civil service is a very broad term. The term can refer to the police officer’s who combat crime, the fire fighters who rescue people from a burning house, the paramedic who treats a gun shot wound, or a correctional officer who enforces the law in a correctionial...

...British author who writes under the pen name of Lee Child A former Major in the United States Army Military Police Corps, Reacher quit at age 36, and roams the United States taking odd jobs and investigating suspicious and frequently dangerous situations. Further more a feature film, was released on 21 December 2012,starring by Tom Cruise and a sequel is in the making. From the introduction,Jack Reacher is a former major in the United States Army Military Police Crops. He was born on a military base in Berlin on 29 October 1960. A graduate of the United States academy at West Point, he served 13 years in the Military Police, during which time he became part of a fictional military unit the 110th Special Investigations Unit, formed to handle exceptionally tough cases, especially those involving members of the US Army Special Forces. Though he was demoted from major to capital in the prequel novel The Enemy. he regained his rank by the time he mustered out in 1997. He received many military awards during his career, you can see he is professional in actions. Since leaving the Army, Reacher has been a drifter. He wanders throughout the US because he was accustomed to being told where to go, when to go and what to do for every day of his life from military childhood to military adulthood. He also felt he never got to know his own country, having spent much of his youth living overseas on military bases and at West Point. He usually travels by hitchhiking or bus. As a drifter,...

...the words “I am here to help and where do you need us?” The distinctly female voice was a shock to my ears and I immediately turned to make eye contact. With an apparent surprised expression on my face, the female Marine looked at me and said “today I am just a Marine.” I then watched this Marine competently employ her Marines and precisely engage the enemy forces. This is what Marines are trained to do. The actions from the additional Marines allowed for me to evacuate my injured Marines and push back the attack. In the end, I never looked at that Marine and thought you can’t help me, you are a woman and this is combat. I believe it is a ridiculous question if a woman should be allowed to possess combat arms Military Occupational Specialty or serve police officers in the civilian sector. They already do, have done so for years, and have done it well. I have personally...

...times I felt like I was on top of the world and could accomplish anything. My life so far has been a string of blessings, good luck, some stumbling but ultimately successful to this point. It has not been easy, as no life is. I have learned and grown from my experiences and will hopefully continue to learn and grown. Growing up dirt floor poor in a tiny town in Southwest Louisiana I was one of five boys fighting for love, affection and sometimes food from our single mom. With not enough of any of those three things to go around; I took the first exit I had and joined the Marine Corps. Seventeen days after graduating from my tiny high school I was on my first flight ever to sunny San Diego. The Marine Corps is where I found myself. Being out on my own with the structure of the military behind me, allowed me to develop into a well-rounded young man. Living overseas for my first seven years in the Corps was an experience that had truly shaped my personality. Living in a number of third world countries like Bolivia, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Thailand to name a few, was eye opening. It showed me how good I actually had it growing up, it taught me what hard work really is, and it helped me to appreciate everything I have the opportunity to accomplish. I traveled to seventeen different countries during this period and was able to help build an elementary school in Thailand, and assist with humanitarian aid in East Timor. There were boring times on ship where I tried to occupy...

...was sowed in the beginning of the 20th Century. With the rise of globalization and American imperialism, the United States wanted to become a world superpower. The American government and the economic sector wanted to further its goals for powers by building a canal that would connect the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean and give the United States power and control over the world economy. Simultaneously, Nicaragua was experiencing a time of civil unrest that was the product of the numerous, and often violent, political disagreements between the Nicaraguan conservative and liberal parties. This period of political strife would only intensify when the Nicaraguan conservative government petitioned the United States to intervene. The United States had a particular interest in Nicaragua, as many developed European nations coveted Nicaragua to build a canal that would compete with the American’s Panama Canal, a project completed in 1914. In 1912, in response to Nicaragua’s petition for American intervention, the United States Marine Corps was sent in to occupy Nicaragua and bring an end to the political strife. In return for the American aid, Nicaragua ceded the United States full rights as the only foreign nation that could build, control, and protect by military force a transoceanic canal on Nicaraguan soil in the Bryan-Chamorro Treaty of 1914. The United States Marine Corp would remain in Nicaragua to enforce its economic policies and remain largely unchallenged for many years. However...

...Assignment 2 Individual Project World History American Intercontinental University Everett Smith The United States economy was greatly stimulated by the War of 1812, even more so than World War I. The depression was brought to an end and new industrial buildings were built all over the United States. Spared by the physical destruction of the war, the US economy dominated the world economy. After about four years of military buildup, the US had also become the leading military power. The position of the United States as world leader was more obvious now than ever. Economically, the war effected American society as many workers were frozen in their jobs and could not join the armed services. The ones that lost their jobs were the poor souls that ended up being drafted into the war. Those working made a lot of money from the overtime and premium pays but had no place to spend any of it, due to the rationing that came in stages during the war. Many food supplies were rationed, like butler, meats, etc., as well as, gas tires and clothing. Most all Industries had been converted to military goods, making consumer goods extremely hard to come by. Many War Bond rallies were held in order to stem inflation all the many excess dollars and too few goods would have caused inflation rises. In effect, the American population financed World War II by purchase of what we know today as “savings bonds”. All major industries had to expand to fulfill war requirements...
