    Sergeant Arnold Case Summary

    2. SSgt Arnold is a self-starter that made an immediate impact on the leadership and performance of the company. He was easily the top sergeant and was routinely given tasks normally reserved for SNCOs. Marines under his charge were always well organized and highly motivated directly due to his efforts. One specific noteworthy achievement was his intervention and direct actions when faced with an attempted suicide. He fearlessly stepped into the point of friction, correctly and swiftly took action without guidance and limited information on the situation. His actions and maturity were responsible for safe guarding a life of a fellow Marine. In addition, then Sgt Arnold masterfully performed as a Section Head/Area Supervisor for the Henoko Ammunition Supply Point. In this capacity, he was responsible for 22 ammunition magazines with 2500 line items of explosive materiel valued at roughly $90 million dollars. During his time in the storage section the inventory accuracy rating was a stellar 98.3% well above the DoD requirement of 95%.…

    Battle Analysis: Hamburger Hill

    The deployment of the division reserve is a positive manifestation of shared understanding. Honeycutt synthesizes the reports of the FAC (forward air controller), Cobra gunships, and his soldiers to determine that he will require B Co. He effectively communicates this understanding to the BDE commander, COL Conmy, who approves their release (Zaffiri, p. 67-68). Honeycutt’s use of a light observation helicopter during the final two assaults (18 and 20 May) highlights the flow of information during the battle. This perspective affords him better understanding that he uses to employ fires and maneuver units on the ground. He also pulls information from his subordinate with questions such as, “Can you take the sonofabitch?” or “How’s it going? ... Can you make it?” (Zaffiri, p. 223).This technique drives his use of mission orders and commander’s…

    Operations Specialists (OS) Rate Analysis

    The Operations Specialists (OS) rate has too many specialties and as a result has created some areas within the rate where no prior knowledge exists. The Operations Specialists (OS) rate must be divided into two specialized rates in order to create true subject matter experts (SME). When that unknown specialty is encountered it can cause major problems for the senior enlisted member who encounters it. Several problems exist in the OS rate regarding knowledge base and the specific work difference from a shore job to and underway position. The primary work environment for an OS is the Command Center (Cutburth, 2011). In the Command Center specific qualifications are obtained and the OS stands regular watches (CDR Riffe 2011).…

    Black Hearts By Jim Frederick: An Analysis

    Jim Frederick’s book “Black Hearts” explores the harrowing account of soldiers from 1st Platoon, Bravo Company, 502nd Infantry Regiment during their deployment in 2005-2006 through Iraq’s “Triangle of Death”. The story is one of failed leadership at all levels, resulting in broken bonds between brothers, drug abuse, and ultimately the rape and murder of an Iraqi family. The soldiers’ descent into complete isolation was brought on by not only dire combat situations, but also a complete disregard for their mental health by higher. This essay will compare and contrast the roles of SSG Eric Lauzier and SFC Jeff Fenlason, and how their leadership had a positive or negative effect on their subordinates.…
