Eric Dietz Dean Larson Purdue Homeland Security Institute Larson Performance Engineering Purdue University Munster, IN West Lafayette, IN [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: Utilizing a variety of resources, the conventions of land warfare will be analyzed for their cyber impact by using the principles designated by the United States Army. The analysis will discuss in detail the factors impacting security of the network enterprise for command and control, the information conduits found in the technological enterprise, and the effects upon the adversary and combatant commander.

INTRODUCTION Adams informs us that rapid changes due to technology have increasingly effected the affairs of the military. This effect whether economic, political, or otherwise has sometimes been extreme. Technology has also made substantial impacts on the prosecution of war. Adams also informs us that information technology is one of the primary change agents in the military of today and likely of the future [1].

  • La Sierra Military Academy Screaming Eagles Cadet Handbook 2019-2020
    LA SIERRA MILITARY ACADEMY SCREAMING EAGLES CADET HANDBOOK 2019-2020 Revision date: 6.5.19 WELCOME FROM THE PRINCIPAL Dear Parents & Cadets, I would like to take this opportunity to officially welcome new cadets and families. I am thoroughly excited to lead the charge for Honor, Courage and Academic Excellence (Decus, Virtus, Doctus). It is my strong desire to work with the families of LSMA to bring stu- dent success to a new level. La Sierra Military Academy is a charter school under the auspices of the Tula- re County Office of Education and governed by the Tulare County Board of Education. We are proud to be a school of “choice” which means parents and prospective cadets choose to enroll and attend after being reviewed and ac- cepted. What makes us unique is that we offer a traditional core curriculum leading students to develop goals beyond a high school diploma. We have adopted the military philosophy as a basis for self discipline, respect and decorum, but are not affiliated or recruit for the military. La Sierra Military Academy has adopted the Tulare County Office of Educa- tion’s CHARACTER COUNTS! Program and the Six Pillars of Character as the basic framework which defines its school culture. In addition, LSMA instruc- tors and staff embrace CHARACTER COUNTS! The Six Pillars of Character and holds itself accountable to the same standards of behavior as its students. As part of the new vision for La Sierra Military Academy, parents will be ex- pected to actively participate in volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Cadets will also need to re-examine their personal commitment to being en- rolled at LSMA.

    Institutional Capacity Building PME Bi-Monthly Report Defense Education Enhancement Program (DEEP) Africa Military Education Program (AMEP) September-October 2019 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This period highlighted curriculum and faculty development in DEEP and AMEP countries, initial support for a unique school in Ukraine, the opening of three new DEEP and AMEP programs, and one re-initiated AMEP program: DEEP: Afghanistan (7-11 October): DEEP experts delivered the first of four Master Instructor Program (MIP) workshops for the National Defence University faculty. The MIP intent for all programs is to prepare partner experts to train their faculty in modern teaching methodologies without external support. Azerbaijan (23-27 September): DEEP experts delivered the third of four MIP workshops for the War College and Military Academy faculties. MoD representative Mr. Sana Sadiyev reaffirmed that he and the leadership of both the War College and the Military Academy continue to be deeply committed to the changes needed to move both schools forward. He recognizes this will be a challenge, but noted he had great faith in the faculty he chose to be the needed change agents. Tunisia (16-19 September): DEEP experts delivered the first of two basic faculty development workshops to the Tunisian War College faculty. This initial workshop established a baseline for the second event that will focus on curriculum development, assessment, and evaluation. Once concluded, the next step will be a four-workshop MIP program for the War College faculty. Ukraine (23-27 September): NATO-funded DEEP experts initiated support for the new Defence Management School (DMS) course curricula. The MOD-initiated DMS is designed to educate MOD and other security sector ministerial professionals, both civilian and military.

Early's Raid on Washington, DC, the threat to the nation's capital diminished considerably. Many units formerly stationed at one of the forts in the Defenses of Wash- ington found themselves in the field, most likely in the Army of the Potomac, and possibly converted from artillery to infantry. No additional Confederate invasions or attacks on the Defenses of Washington oc- curred. 1 After the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia's surrender at Appomattox, VA, on April 9, 1 865, the Defenses ofWashington performed its last military function of the Civil War. In the midst of Washington's exuberant celebrations, "The chain of forts around the city, and batteries of field artillery between, made a ring of cannons around the city which were fired in rotation for several hours.

  • Developing a Normative Framework for Cyberwarfare
    Developing a Normative Framework for Cyberwarfare October 17-18, 2016 United States Naval Academy Annapolis, Maryland Table of Contents: Purpose 3 Acknowledgments 3 Schedule 4 Presentation Abstracts 6 Presenter Biosketches 11 Grant Team Biosketches 15 Registration 17 Venue 17 Banquet 17 Hotel 17 Travel 17 Maps 18 Contacts 21 Notes 22 2 Purpose: Welcome to our workshop on the social, ethical, and legal implications on cyberwarfare. As this is quickly-evolving terrain, we hope to reflect the current state of play, as well as to sketch the short- and mid-term future. In these endeavors, we will be aided by a diverse and distinguished group of invited presenters. These presenters have been carefully selected from academia, industry, and government, and bring with them a wealth of expertise and experience. Unlike many academic workshops, this one is meant to be discussion intensive. Toward that end, presenters have been asked to keep their briefings to approximately fifteen minutes, leaving the rest of the sessions for interaction. To foster these interactions, we will operate under The Chatham House Rule: participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed without their expressed consent.
