What is Joint Interdependence Anyway? Colonel Christopher R. Paparone, U.S. Army, and James A. Crupi, Ph.D. HERE IS MUCH ADO lately about the concept of “joint interdependence” in future military operations. More than one four-star general has praised Operation Desert Storm’s joint deconfliction; that is, the conduct of relatively independent service operations orchestrated in space and time so as not to interfere with each other, as in air operations deconflicted with ground operations. In Operation

Informational Privacy in the United States Marine Corps (USMC) Sgt Karen A Holliday, USMC Trident University International In my honest opinion the thought of informational privacy within the military is a sort of oxymoron. Although huge strides have been taken to put in place more secure methods of information storage, the military lags far behind their civilian counterparts in this department. There are many policies under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) in regards to the informational

He’s the Man We were sitting next to the wedding cake, flashing lights and music beats filled the open space under the night sky.

Ideal Organization: Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) After serving nine years in the Marine Corps, I have come to the conclusion that the ideal organization for me would be the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

States military is one of great magnitude because of the profound effect it has on the individual service member and the organization as a whole. “In a 1995 U.S. Department of Defense survey of active-duty men and women in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard, 70.9 percent of female personnel and 35.8 percent of male personnel said that they had experienced sexually harassing behaviors in the previous 12 months” (Antecol & Cobb-Clark, 2001).

These are some principles that can be applied in Reserve Officer Training Corps or popularly known as ROTC. As the general public may view it, ROTC is basically, a course taken because it is required in the curriculum and not because it’s an interesting program. If ROTC had not been a required course, and CWTS in the PLM chapter can accommodates all freshmen students, I guess there would only be a handful of students who will enroll in ROTC. Why wake up as early as seven in the morning and miss

because it was the first time combat was carried out in an urbanized environment. The strategic value of Hue City is because it was a distribution point for resupply efforts. A railroad and major highway passed through the city, connecting the Marine Corps command at Da Nang to the Demilitarized Zone; the Perfume River was used by US Navy supply boats moving to and from the mouth of the river and the South China Sea. If the city fell to the North Vietnamese, the US effort in Vietnam would suffer a major
