This thesis examines the roles of the U.S. Army in America’s nuclear undertakings. Since 1942, when the Army took responsibility for managing the Manhattan Project, the Army has made many important contributions to America’s nuclear endeavors. Its earliest nuclear roles included developing and employing America’s first nuclear weapons, executing nuclear counterproliferation missions, investigating the effects of nuclear weapons, and supervising the U.S. atomic energy program. Although the Army’s nuclear responsibilities were altered during the early years of the Cold War, it continued to participate in America’s nuclear efforts. The Army’s Cold War nuclear roles included deploying tactical nuclear weapons, participating in nuclear weapons tests, developing doctrine and reorganizing the Army’s units in preparation for a nuclear war, managing a nuclear power program, contributing to the debate on national strategy, and helping to reassure U.S. allies and prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Today, the Army continues to make important contributions to the nation’s nuclear endeavors, notably in preparedness for attack forensics and consequence management. U.S. strategic planners must understand the several nuclear functions that the Army has performed throughout history in order to appreciate more fully the relevance of the Army’s current nuclear capacities.

Abstract:

There is an ongoing debate as to the role of women in Israel's army and to the degree of integration of women into male-dominated military positions. Using qualitative methods (in-depth interviews and participant observation), this dissertation examines the participation of women in the Israeli Defence Forces with a focus on organizational belonging and military status.
Women soldiers find distinct ways of experiencing organizational belonging and gaining status in the army. Much of women's variation in organizational belonging is linked, not to positions held, but, rather, to the kind of base at which a woman served during her service. Those serving in closed bases (at which soldiers stay to sleep), report developing a greater sense of organizational belonging than those serving in open bases (at which soldiers return home to sleep). This distinction is linked to notions of combat. Those serving at closed bases are more likely to serve in close proximity to combat. As well, closed bases are associated with combat more than are open bases regardless of the nature of individual closed bases. Thus, women serving on closed bases benefit from the prestige associated with combat positions as well as from the organizationally bonding experience of staying to sleep on the base. This stands in contrast with women serving on open bases who are more likely to have their sense of organizational belonging affected by their actual army position and rank and tend to seek status through association with higher ranking soldiers such as their officers and commanders.
There has been a great deal of literary discourse concerning women's participation in the IDF concentrating on women's military positions and ranks. While my research relates to this discourse, it differs through its emphasis on base placement over army position/rank. My study concludes with a discussion of my contribution to organizational belonging literature and with reflections on the implications of my findings for both the IDF and Jewish women in Israel.

Full text

Abstract:

This Joint Applied Project examines the U.S. Army Rapid Equipping Force (REF) processes, practices and lessons learned for fulfilling emerging urgent needs in the current Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO). It compares Army rapid acquisition policies and processes to the execution of a traditional Urgent Materiel Release (UMR) program to identify opportunities to improve the responsiveness of rapid acquisition programs executed by traditional program management offices. The project establishes a baseline and analyzes the implications of existing policies, processes, and practices for executing rapid acquisition programs. It draws conclusions and offers recommendations for continuing improvements towards a more modern and responsive rapid acquisition process. The findings indicate that the Army REF is adapting and evolving processes to better respond to the urgent needs of its operational commanders and the warfighter that can be applied by traditional acquisition organizations.

Full text

Abstract:

It may appear to be somewhat incongruous that the Army, whose primary funct i on has been to prepare for war, shou 1 d have been one of the earliest advocates of organized elementary education. Yet its i mpo rtance is someth i ng the Army has long recogn i zed. Soon after the Restoration in 1660, and perhaps even before, some regiments engaged masters to instruct their soldiers and also their offspring. Over the next 150 years an increasing number of command i ng offi cers appoi nted a su i tab 1 e NCO to act as schoolmaster to the regiment, before the reforms of 1812 compelled them to do so. In 1846 civilians also became eligible to enlist as Army schoolmasters. Together they became members of the Corps of Army Schoolmasters which survived for nearly three-quarters of a century. This thesis considers the role of the Army schoolmaster , his training and conditions of service, with particular reference to the period 1812 to 1920. Although not a comparative study it notes, where relevant, developments in the field of civilian elementary education. It does not consider the Army schoolmistress, who taught the infants, except when her work impinges upon that of the schoolmaster; this subject has been the focus of another study. The thesis is divided into three sections. The opening section is essentially a chronological account of, first, the origins and development of Army education up to and including the formation of the Corps of Army Schoo1 masters in 1846 and, second, the system of training for that Corps provided throughout the period. The second section considers the variety of pupils that the Army schoolmaster was required to instruct and his responsibilities for the formal education of adults and older children. It also considers his working the fie1d 0 fin forma 1 e d u cat ion a 1 activities; the organizational framework in which he operated and the system of inspection; and, finally, his status and conditions of service. The third section considers the role of the Army schoolmaster during the First World War and how, as a result of that conflict, an enlarged Army Educational Corps, with a wider remit, superseded the Corps of Army Schoolmasters in 1920.

Kirke, C. M. S. G. "Social Structures in the Regular Combat Arms Units of the British Army: A Model." Thesis, Cranfield University, 2006. http://hdl.handle.net/1826/1054.

Abstract:

An original model is presented for describing, analysing, and predicting soldiers’ behaviour in current regular combat arms units in the British Army. It was derived, using social anthropological techniques, during participant observation by a serving British Army officer, and provides more coherent insights than other models of unit life. Its central principle, created for this study, is a plurality of >social structures’. These >social structures’ are separate bodies of ideas, rules and conventions of behaviour which inform groups of people or individuals how to organise and conduct themselves vis-à-vis each other. One >social structure’ operates at any single moment, according to context. Such an approach has not previously been applied to British Soldiers. The model’s top level (low resolution), comprises: the formal command structure, consisting in the unit organisation, the apparatus of rank and discipline, and the framework of official accountability; the informal structure, comprising the conventions of behaviour in the absence of formal constraints; the functional structure, concerning >soldierly’ activity, attitudes, and expectations; and the loyalty/identity structure, encompassing the conventions involved in embracing and expressing membership of the formal hierarchy of groups within and above the unit. Lower levels provide higher resolution, including a typology of informal relationships which encompasses different degrees of closeness and differences or equality in rank. The model’s rigour is established by testing its sensitivity at high resolution to the different conditions of life in historical British armies. The top level, however, and the typology of informal relationships, are found potentially to provide a unifying framework for historical analysis of unit life in the British Army throughout its history. The model’s ability to illuminate current issues in the Army is demonstrated by its application to leadership training for officer cadets and the integration of women into regular combat arms units.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the logistical support of the Australian Army???s operations in the South West Pacific from January 1943 to August 1945. It begins by examining the strategic context. Succeeding chapters then examine various topics, including doctrine, base development, problems of storage and tropic proofing, inland water transport, road construction, air supply, amphibious operations and the support of combat operations. In this thesis I argue that the Australian Army???s logistical acumen and ability steadily grew with each campaign, resulting in a highly effective military organisation that inflicted a series of crushing defeats on the Japanese.

The objective of this project is to examine how the Army is utilizing strategic sourcing as an effective process for getting the best overall value for acquiring goods and services. An analysis will be done to determine if the Army is using Strategic Sourcing as intended by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) initial implementation. This will be examined to determine if strategic sourcing will contribute to the efficiency of the acquisition process. Acquisitions will be examined to determine if strategic sourcing is meeting the needs of the organization and alleviating redundancy in the acquisition process. The discussions will also look at how important internal customer requirements and external marketplace intelligence roles are in the strategic sourcing process. As a result of this project, the Army will better understand the areas that may need improvement and areas that have been working effectively. Future recommendations for research will be provided for consideration.

Abstract:

The Army currently uses time series models to forecast active-duty enlisted personnel losses. These time series models can provide accurate predictions but offer no insights into the underlying causes of loss behavior. In order to quantify the various forces that influence retention rates, a regression model is necessary. In this thesis, logistic regression is used to estimate end of term-of-service (ETS) losses. The model estimates the probability of reenlistment for soldiers with 12 months remaining on their enlistment contract. The model relies largely on individual soldier information such as pay grade, military occupation, and education, but also examines the impact of the civilian unemployment rate. Two models are developed. The first model includes 14 main effects. The second model includes the same 14 main effects plus 21 highly significant two-way interaction terms. Both models estimate the total number of personnel that reenlist in a seven-month test period fairly well, although the main-effects model results are more accurate. The two-way interaction model performs slightly better on most statistical measures of model effectiveness. Because the two-way interaction model is more complicated to produce, and does not generate results that are clearly better than the main effects model, this thesis recommends using the main effects model to complement the current set of time series models.

With the collapse of the Soviet threat, the Army is finding itself in a period of significant change: changes in funding, size, focus and missions. To adapt to this change, the Army needs to be more innovative. This thesis examines the subject of innovative change. It analyzes a case of successful innovative change in the 101st Airborne Division's support structure. Prior to and during Operation Desert Shield, the Division adopted the LAB/FOB support concept that contributed significantly to the Division's success in Operation Desert Storm. The analysis of this case shows how innovative change is brought about in an Army organization.

The Salvation Army thrift stores are retail entities in the center of neighborhoods which collect and resell used objects. Although historically dear to many, it seems that the physical condition, market visibility, and social perception of these stores do not always match the importance of the service they provide. The potential of that recycling network, already in place internationally, seems enormous in a context of economic crisis and rising environmental concerns. I would like to create a new Salvation Army thrift store for the years to come, and propose to redesign the closest one at hand as a case study. Among my ideas for this undertaking: - make the thrift store a pleasant and rich experiential space - add to the function of salvaging, the functions of cleaning and repairing - turn what used to be a store into a store ++, with small crafts attached (tailors, shoe repair, laundromats and dry cleaners, wood and metal workers) which would provide next door services and be a tool for social reinsertion (professional training for the unemployed) - open the market segment to all social categories - have the buildings themselves be an example of a new type of reuse/recycling.

Harvey, Joanna Sarah. "Stress in British Army personnel." Thesis, Liverpool John Moores University, 1999. http://researchonline.ljmu.ac.uk/5987/.

Full text

Abstract:

There is considerable research to date in the field of stress, particularly with respect to questionnaire research. There is, however, a lack of recent research on stress in the British Army which addresses either traumatic or organisational stress. This study considers soldiers' experiences of both occupational and traumatic stress, in addition to identifying the contribution of an individual's expectations and evaluations of a deployment, on mental well-being. Furthermore, this research methodology incorporates standardised psychological questionnaires, free response items and interviews with personnel, which serve to provide a comprehensive approach with high face validity. This study aims to encompass the major aspects which influence the onset and course of stress, including stress experiences, individual differences and coping, in one model. Both studies incorporate traumatic and organisational stress, which is particularly relevant in the military profession, where there is risk of exposure to traumatic events. This study attempts to redress the paucity of research on stress in the British Army as a result of conflicts since WWII, in addition to countering the lack of research into occupational stress in the British Army, or information of a longitudinal nature. This study also provides a much needed 'baseline' of data across the British Army regarding stress experiences and reactions. The study also incorporates qualitative aspects, where the respondents are asked what they define as stressful experiences, as opposed to completing a list of pre-defined 'stressors', in addition to incorporating interviews to validate the responses. Finally, an individual's evaluation of a situation, or belief in their actions is taken into account in this research. It is argued that this is of particular importance in a military operational context, when soldiers are no longer deploying in defence of their country against an external threat. It was therefore considered important to establish if there were any effects on psychological well-being based on an individual's evaluation of the deployment situation. This research was conducted in two phases: Study 1 which is a cross-sectional study, proportionate to size across the British Army, and Study 2 which is a longitudinal survey, before and after a six month operational deployment to Northern Ireland. The questionnaire material incorporates both standardised questionnaires and a specific Army questionnaire designed for the study. Support was found for the proposed models of both general (Study 1) and operational stress (Study 2). Previous findings were supported concerning the interrelationships between neuroticism, anxiety, emotion focused coping and adverse life events, and were independent of mastery, self esteem, problem focused coping and well-being. Thirty three and thirty nine percent of respondents reported General Health Questionnaire (GHQ12) values above the cut off criteria for Study 1 and Study 2, respectively. Individual differences concerning reported mental health were noted, particularly with respect to age, marital status and the occurrence of a significant life event. Recommendations addressed the lack of clear evidence for adopting a 'screening out' procedure based upon personality characteristics for mainstream Army deployments. It was suggested that the traumatic aspects of the research could benefit from an alternative questionnaire to the Impact of Events Scale (IES), due to some of the difficulties found in using the questionnaire. It was also suggested that coping strategies should be investigated in greater detail, within a more context specific manner with tighter response definitions. Finally, it is believed that the impact of cumulative operational deployments on the mental health of soldiers needs to be thoroughly researched.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the impact of the developments made during the First World War and the inter-war period in tactical air support. Further to this, it will analyse how these developments led to the creation of Army Co-operation Command and affected the role it played developing army air support in Britain. Army Co-operation Command has been neglected in the literature on the Royal Air Force during the Second World War and this thesis addresses this neglect by adding to the extant knowledge on the development of tactical air support and fills a larger gap that exists in the literature on Royal Air Force Commands. Army Co-operation Command was created at the behest of the army in the wake of the Battle of France. A key area of development was the communications system to enable troops to request air support in the field. The Command was also involved in developing the Air Observation Post Squadron. Air Observation Post aircraft were used to direct the fire of artillery batteries from the air. In 1943, an operational tactical air force replaced Army Co-operation Command. This study highlights inter-service difficulties over the provision of air support.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the reasons why Stalin purged his Red Army during 1937-38 at the same time as World War was looming. This gutting of the officer corps created huge turmoil inside the Red Army and affected at the very least 35,000 army leaders, resulting in thousands of discharges, arrests and executions. Previous explanations of the military purge have typically concentrated on Stalin’s relationship with his military elite and how he supposedly believed they would become a block to his expanding power. Framed as the ‘Tukhachevskii Affair’, after its most famous victim, the military purge is most commonly depicted as merely the extension of Stalin’s advancing lust for total power into the Red Army. This thesis will show that such accounts are unsupported and inadequate and will provide a new explanation of the military purge. This thesis will show that Stalin did not attack his army elite in order to increase his power, but this was a last minute action made from a position of weakness. Taking the formation of the Red Army in early 1918 as its starting point, this thesis will argue that the key to understanding Stalin’s attack on the officer corps in 1937 is to understand how the military was perceived as susceptible to subversion. From its very formation the Red Army was seen as a target of ‘enemies’, ‘counterrevolutionaries’ and was regarded as vulnerable to infiltration. Over a period of twenty years the army faced an array of exaggerated and imaginary threats. Stalin was plagued by nagging doubts about the reliability of his forces, from mass instability in the lower ranks to supposed disloyalty in the military elite. By 1937 these perceived threats had culimated in a spy scare and it was this that finally forced Stalin to crack down on the Red Army.

Utilizing sources that have been mostly untapped in studying the campaign, it argues that a morale crisis played a major role in the desert defeats and that a morale turnaround was responsible in large measure for the victory at El Alamein. In exploring the complex inter-relationship between weaponry and morale, it argues that weapons were a crucial element in maintaining morale in the desert. It also makes the case that Montgomery did not win the battle of EI Alamein simply because he had more weapons and men, but because he understood that essentially technology influenced morale and was not a battle-winning factor on its own. The thesis examines the extent to which the morale of Eighth Army was affected by the quality of its manpower at troop and officer level and traces the effects of Adam's initiatives on morale. It also investigates the impact that the complex of welfare and education initiatives spearheaded by Adam, Willans and Williams had on troop morale. In exploring the role that leadership played in determining morale, the thesis shows that Montgomery concentrated on five critical elements of leadership that directly impinged on morale: clarity of direction, communication with the troops, the cOI~mander's image, the handling of formations, and training. The thesis questions the ability of primary group theory to provide an allencompassing explanation of battle morale and motivation in the desert. It suggests instead that other motivational factors such as discipline, ideology, training, success in battle, confidence in weapons and leadership capability were at least as important in explaining the changing morale climate throughout the campaign.

Abstract:

What characteristics distinguish successful Army program managers from their peers? The results of this study are based on the survey data obtained from program executive officers, program managers, and acquisition students, as well as interviews conducted with successful program managers. This research identified 11 core competencies that program managers felt were important to the ideal program manager. Additionally, this study identified five competencies which distinguish successful program managers. This study evaluates each of these competencies, and examines the ability of the Defense Systems Management College (DSMC) and the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) to integrate these competencies into their respective curricula. This study concludes that DSMC and NPS develop a block of instruction entitled Marketing for Program Managers. This course would focus on how successful program managers apply these 16 competencies to the Army procurement system. By establishing the Marketing for Program Managers course, DSMC and NPS would ensure that future program managers are provided a blue print for becoming successful program managers.

This study was performed to test competing theories of innovation for their explanatory power in describing the series of innovations in United States Army aviation centered on the helicopter. The theories of strategic threat, civilian intervention, and inter service rivalry were applied to the innovations of air mobility, the anti-tank helicopter, and recent developments in Army doctrinal thought. This study found that while strategic threat and inter-service rivalry theories provided adequate explanation for the developmental phases of the innovation, only civilian intervention could fully explain the implementation of these innovations into Army force structure.

Gastrointestinal infections have consistently been among the most frequent diseases and non-battle injuries, degrading operational effectiveness and force readiness in the military. Noroviruses appear as the most frequent agents causing acute gastrointestinal illness both in maritime and land theatres of operations, as well as in stationed troops or military training centers in many western countries. Nevertheless, little is known on the burden of norovirus gastroenteritis in the Portuguese military. In this work we set out to establish a gastroenteritis outbreak surveillance system (GOSS) to report disease cases to the Bromatology and Biologic Defense Laboratory during the five-year period, 2013-2017. During this period 14 gastroenteritis outbreaks were registered that affected a total of 410 military. Noroviruses were responsible for the majority of the outbreaks (8/14) and disease cases (210/410). Norovirus outbreaks occurred either in military exercises or in military bases and showed to have an impact on force readiness and operational effectiveness. In most cases the origin of the outbreaks was difficult to confirm but five (63%) were likely foodborne (including food handlers) or waterborne and three (37%) had predominant person-to-person transmission. Outbreaks were caused by both genogroup (G) I and II, but G II clearly outnumber those caused by G I (6/8) and case numbers (145/210). Norovirus GI was associated with waterborne outbreaks while GII was associated to foodborne and person-to-person transmission. Each outbreak was caused by a different genotype highlighting the high genetic diversity of the circulating noroviruses. Three of the identified genotypes (GI.9, GII.17 and GII.16-GII.2) were reported for the first time in Portugal. In conclusion, the present thesis identified norovirus as the most important etiologic agent of acute gastroenteritis outbreaks and the most frequent cause of food- and waterborne illness in the Portuguese Army. This work had contributed to change preventive measures and allowed the reinforcement of control actions that minimized the impact of norovirus outbreaks.
RESUMO - Surtos de gastrenterite por norovírus no Exército Português - As infeções gastrointestinais encontram-se entre as doenças mais frequentemente reportadas como causa de diminuição da capacidade operacional e da prontidão de uma força militar. Os norovírus são os agentes mais vezes implicados na doença aguda gastrointestinal em teatros de operações, marítimos e terrestres, e em forças estacionadas ou centros de treino militares das Forças Armadas de Países Ocidentais. Esta tese teve como principal objetivo avaliar a relevância da gastrenterite aguda causada por norovírus no Exército Português. Foi estabelecido um sistema de vigilância no Exército, de modo que todos os surtos de gastroenterite são reportados ao Laboratório de Bromatologia e Defesa Biológica. Assim, verificou-se que entre 2013 e 2017 foram registados 14 episódios, que afetaram cerca de 410 militares, tendo os norovírus sido responsáveis pela maioria dos surtos (8/14) e dos casos (210/410). Os surtos ocorreram em exercícios militares e em bases do Exército com impacto na capacidade operacional e funcionamento regular das Unidades. Embora a origem destes tenha sido difícil de confirmar, acredita-se que 5 (63%) tiveram origem alimentar (incluindo os manipuladores de alimentos e a água) e que em 3 (37%) predominou a transmissão pessoa a pessoa. Os surtos foram causados por norovírus dos genogrupos (G) I e II, contudo o G II foi responsável pelo maior número de surtos (6/8) e casos (145/210). O genogrupo I esteve associado à água e o genogrupo II à transmissão pessoa a pessoa ou aos alimentos. Cada surto foi causado por um genótipo distinto, refletindo a grande diversidade genética dos norovírus que se encontram em circulação. Três dos genótipos identificados (GI.9, GII.17 e GII.16-GII.2) foram reportados pela primeira vez em Portugal. Ao identificar o norovírus como o mais importante agente etiológico de surtos de gastroenterite aguda e de doença com origem nos alimentos e na água no Exército Português, o presente trabalho contribuiu para a alteração de medidas preventivas de doenças de origem alimentar e para o reforço de ações de controlo dos surtos causados por este agente.
The Present work was partially supported by the Portuguese Army. The author wants to acknowledge the Portuguese Army for the conditions provided for the experimental work, the development of the thesis and the financial support.
