As the principal advisor on total force human resource management and governance Col Doyle is responsible for strategic planning support for managing business processes and organizational reengineering design to maximize Human Resource Management across the enterprise. As the senior advisor to NGB/A1 on the ANG Crisis Action Team, Col Doyle is responsible for personnel readiness for both contingency and domestic operations. As the ANG principle for personnel utilization and duty status reform Col Doyle provides an accountable, analytical framework for facilitating Sr Ldr decisions on behalf of 107,700 Airmen. Prior to her current assignment, Lt Col Doyle served on the Command Action Group for Headquarters, Texas Air National Guard where she was the key advisor to the Chief of Staff on a broad range of matters. As the lead agent for policy development she was responsible for analyzing strategic policies, and making recommendations for TXANG senior leader mission accomplishment. Lt Col Doyle also served as the Chief of Staff for the Joint Counterdrug Task Force, Joint Force Headquarters, Texas Military Forces. In this role, Lt Col Doyle was second in command over the most robust Counterdrug Program in the nation with over 250 Soldiers and Airmen serving in excess of 120 Law Enforcement Agencies. Lt Col Doyle began her traditional Guard and Reserve career in 1995 as an enlisted member in the United States Air Force Reserves as an Air Transportation Specialist for the 433rd Airlift Wing, Lackland AFB, TX. In 1997, she transferred to the Air National Guard’s 136th Airlift Wing in Grand Prairie, TX, where she continued to serve as an Air Transportation Specialist. In 1998, she was selected as the Wing’s Military Equal Opportunity Officer (MEO), and soon after graduated from the Academy of Military Science (AMS), McGhee Tyson ANGB, as a Distinguished Graduate. After AMS graduation, she returned to the 136th AW and brought the Wing numerous honors during her time as MEO. In 2002, she was selected as the 149th Fighter Wing’s Support Group XO, Lackland AFB, TX where she helped the Support Group soar through its Operational Readiness Exercise. In 2003, she transferred to the Maintenance Group to serve as its much needed XO. In her four years as the Maintenance Group XO, she was credited with revitalizing its mobility program, rebuilding its Military Awards and Decorations Program, and leading the Wing’s efforts to make the 149th Fighter Wing the TXANG unit of choice for contingency response by becoming the first TXANG certified Liaison Officer for Texas. Lt Col Doyle was subsequently selected as the Maintenance Operations Flight Commander for the 149th Maintenance Group responsible for scheduling effectiveness of a 4,500 hour annual flying program and fleet health of 23 F-16 aircraft worth $664 million. Under her skillful hand the MXOF scored a record 97% on its 2010 Logistics Compliance Assessment Program and Excellent ratings on its 2011 and 2014 Unit Compliance Inspections. In 2009 Lt Col Doyle deployed to Southwest Asia as the AFCENT AFFOR A1 PERSCO Chief in support of OIF/OEF. During this seemingly brief 4-month deployment, Lt Col Doyle traveled over 15,000 inter-theater miles to spearhead OIF/OEF force flow briefings, lead Iraq and Afghanistan reposturing, provide oversight of AOR roll-out of DCAPES, and conduct site visits of 13 assigned PERSCO teams. Lt Col Doyle worked tirelessly with Army G1 counterparts to pinpoint and correct over 2,000 incongruous CENTCOM BOG reports, and championed accurate and expedient casualty reporting, enabling the award of the Purple Heart prior to Airmen being medically evacuated from the theater. Under her leadership AFCENT A1 was credited with highest performing PERSCO in over three years. Letter of evaluation rated Lt Col Doyle as the number one deployed AFCENT A1 officer for AEF 1/2 commending her for cultivating participation in fallen warrior ceremonies and motivating others to never forget why we serve! Prior to joining the Texas Military Forces, Lt Col Doyle spent ten years working for the State of Texas in quality assurance inspector positions that afforded the opportunity to validate and study people and processes, allowing extensive experience in acting not just as an inspector, but as a liaison for organizations in the development of quality assurance programs that improved operational systems, communication processes, and personnel morale.

  • National Guard and Reserve Equipment Report for FY2015
    NATIONAL GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015 (NGRER FY 2015) (In Accordance with Section 10541, Title 10, United States Code) March 2014 Prepared by Department of Defense Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Materiel and Facilities) COL Denise L. Loring, Editor Washington, DC 20301-1500 The estimated cost of this report for the Department of Defense is approximately $292,000 in Fiscal Years 2013–2014. Generated on 2014Feb28 RefID: 0-43F5A8A OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF DEFENSE 1500 DEFENSE PENTAGON WASHINGTON, DC 20301-1500 FOREWORD The Reserve Component (RC) allows for expanded capacity and capability as a cost-effective part of the Total Force with global reach and flexibility. Since 2001, the RC has supported more than 875,000 mobilizations worldwide. Budgetary pressures will continue to require astute management of reduced resources to mitigate their effects. The RC provides capability and capacity at a reduced cost in a time of funding reductions across all components. The RC, when integrated as part of the operational force during armed conflict and peacetime, provides for a cost-effective force mix at acceptable levels of risk to support the defense strategy. The RC equipment levels are at some of the highest levels in history; however this era of postwar fiscal reductions will bring significant equipping challenges over the next several years. The Department has made strides in enhancing equipment transparency and accountability, but has not yet attained transparency into the Services procurement and distribution processes and outcomes. The Department must explore other options, such as separating the RC procurement funding, to meet the intent of the Commission on the National Guard and Reserve initiatives on equipping inadequacies between Active Component (AC) and RC.

  • Another History of Europe at War. Gendarmeries and Police Facing the First World War (1914-1918)
    Another history of Europe at war. Gendarmeries and police facing the First World War (1914-1918) International Conference organised at the EOGN in Melun on the 4th , 5th and 6th February 2016 by : Le Centre de recherche de l'École des officiers de la Gendarmerie nationale and Le musée de la Gendarmerie, in cooperation with : Université Paris-Sorbonne the Centre d'histoire du XIXe siècle Labex EHNE Université catholique de Louvain-la-Neuve Le Pôle d'attraction interuniversitaire « Justice et populations : l'expérience belge en perspective internationale ») Dr. Guillaume Payen Chef du pôle histoire et faits sociaux contemporains du CREOGN, chercheur associé au Centre Roland Mousnier, université Paris-Sorbonne Dr. Jonas Campion Chargé de recherches du FRS-FNRS, Centre d’histoire du droit et de la justice, université catholique de Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgique) Dr. Laurent López Chercheur associé au CESDIP (université de Versailles/Saint Quentin) et au Centre d'histoire du XIXe siècle (universités Panthéon-Sorbonne et Paris-Sorbonne) The history of Europe into the First World War is still to be written from the police's point of view, in spite of the frequent claim of "constraint"1 in the conflict's historiography. Classically marking the break between the 19th and the 20th centuries, the First World War is more than a separation between two periods. It is a deep historiographic void on both national and European scales. From a Europe-wide perspective, while the comparative approach carried out by Jonas Campion and confronting the cases of the Belgian, French and Dutch gendarmeries focuses on the end of the Second World War2, the book published under G.

  • 'Something Is Wrong with Our Army…' Command, Leadership & Italian
    Journal of Military and Strategic VOLUME 14, ISSUE 1, FALL 2011 Studies ‘Something is wrong with our army…’ Command, Leadership & Italian Military Failure in the First Libyan Campaign, 1940-41. Dr. Craig Stockings There is no question that the First Libyan Campaign of 1940-41 was an Italian military disaster of the highest order. Within hours of Mussolini’s declaration of war British troops began launching a series of very successful raids by air, sea and land in the North African theatre. Despite such early setbacks a long-anticipated Italian invasion of Egypt began on 13 September 1940. After three days of ponderous and costly advance, elements of the Italian 10th Army halted 95 kilometres into Egyptian territory and dug into a series of fortified camps southwest of the small coastal village of Sidi Barrani. From 9-11 December, these camps were attacked by Western Desert Force (WDF) in the opening stages of Operation Compass – the British counter-offensive against the Italian invasion. Italian troops not killed or captured in the rout that followed began a desperate and disjointed withdrawal back over the Libyan border, with the British in pursuit. The next significant engagement of the campaign was at the port-village Bardia, 30 kilometres inside Libya, in the first week of 1941. There the Australian 6 Division, having recently replaced 4 Indian Division as the infantry component of WDF (now renamed 13 Corps), broke the Italian fortress and its 40,000 defenders with few casualties. The feat was repeated at the port of Tobruk, deeper into Libya, when another 27,000 Italian prisoners were taken.

  • The United States and the Greek Coup of 1967
    Were the Eagle and the Phoenix Birds of a Feather? The United States and the Greek Coup of 1967 by Louis Klarevas Assistant Professor of Political Science City University of New York—College of Staten Island & Associate Fellow Hellenic Observatory—London School of Economics Discussion Paper No. 15 Hellenic Observatory-European Institute London School of Economics Houghton Street London WC2A 2AE http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/hellenicObservatory February 2004 Author’s Note: The author wishes to thank the Hellenic Observatory of the London School of Economics for its generous support in the undertaking of this project. The author also wishes to thank Kevin Featherstone, Spyros Economides, and Dimitrios Triantaphyllou for comments on a previous draft. In the summer of 2004, Greece will host the Olympic Games. Americans attending the games and visiting traditional tourist stops in Athens are sure to be greeted with open arms. But for those who delve a bit further into the country-side seeking a taste of average Greek life, some are sure to hear some fascinating tales flavored with a strong hint of anti-Americanism. To many foreigners that visit Greece these days, it might seem like the cradle of democracy is also the cradle of conspiracy. Take these schemes, for example: (1) Orthodox Serbs, not Muslims, were the true victims of the slaughters in the Balkans during the 1990s—and the primary reason that NATO intervened was so that the United States could establish a military foothold there;1 (2) the U.S. Ambassador played a tacit role in the removal of the Secretary- General of Greece’s ruling political party;2 and (3) the attack on the World Trade Center was a joint Jewish-American conspiracy to justify a Western war against Muslims—with reports that no Jews died in the September 11 attacks.3 All of these perspectives have numerous subscribers in Greece.
