The American tradition of military instruction on civilian college campuses began in 1819 when a former superintendent at West Point established the American Library, Scientific and Military Academy, which later became Norwich University. Military instruction soon spread to other institutions- Virginia Military Institute in 1839, the University of Tennessee in 1840, and the Citadel in 1842. In 1862 the Congress of the United States, foreseeing the dual necessities of creating additional institutions of higher learning, as well as providing a means of schooling young men in the military arts, passed the Morrill Land Grant Act. This act provides money from the sale of government lands to establish colleges and universities and specified that courses in the military arts should be offered at these institutions. The University of Minnesota opened its doors in 1869 through the benefits made available by the Morrill Act. One of the original nine faculty members was the University's first professor of military science, Major General Richard W. Johnson. For 70 years, ROTC training at the University prepared young men for entrance into the Army. Then in 1939, a Naval unit was established, and in 1949, an Air Force ROTC program was begun. For more than 150 years, ROTC programs on civilian college campuses have provided intelligent, well-educated leaders for the national defense.

  • Ed Wheeler Craig Roberts Doorway to Hell Disasbook4you.Pdf
    Doorway to Hell ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The research and preparation of this narrative would not have been possible without the guidance, assistance, direction, and contributions of Professor Thomas Buckley, University of Tulsa History Department. On behalf of his soldiers' families and loved ones, I wish to extend my personal appreciation to U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Robert L. Davis, the last commander of the 43rd Engineer Combat Battalion (Heavy), during both Operations Restore and Continue Hope. He led a total of over a thousand troops through the "doorway to hell" twice, and brought them all back alive. Special acknowledgment is also extended to Major Mark Feierstein, 36th Engineer Group S-4 (Logistics) during Operation Restore Hope and 43rd S-3 (Operations) during Operation Continue Hope; Major Alan Estes, 43rd S-3 (Operations) during Operation Restore Hope; Captain Brian Unwin, Surgeon, 43rd Engineer Combat Battalion (H) during Operation Restore Hope; Captain Dale Forrester, 43rd Chaplain, Operation Restore Hope; Captain Jeffrey T. Bochonok, 43rd S-l (Personnel/Admin) during Operation Continue Hope; First Lieutenant Brian E. Wheeler, the 43rd's Signal Officer and Command Sergeant Major Larence Maxwell, both of whom served during Operations Restore Hope and Continue Hope; and Sergeant Hans Smith, 43rd Operations NCO who served during the Somalian Aid Mission in 1985, and during Operation Continue Hope. These men, who were based at Fort Benning, Georgia and deployed to Somalia with their colleagues of the 43rd Engineers, served unselfishly iv Doorway to Hell and heroically. In doing so, twice they walked through the "Doorway to Hell" for a nation that ultimately wished they hadn't gone at all.

  • Stories and Past Lessons: Understanding US Decisions of Armed Humanitarian Intervention and Nonintervention in the Post-Cold War
    STORIES AND PAST LESSONS: UNDERSTANDING U.S. DECISIONS OF ARMED HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION AND NONINTERVENTION IN THE POST-COLD WAR ERA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Shannon Peterson, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Associate Professor Donald A. Sylvan, Adviser Approved by Professor Emeritus Chadwick F. Alger ________________________ Adviser Assistant Professor Ted G. Hopf Political Science Department ABSTRACT What factors appear influential to U.S. decisions of armed humanitarian intervention and nonintervention? Utilizing the “story model” mode of problem representation first utilized by psychologists Pennington and Hastie (1986; 1988) and adapted to the domain of foreign policy by Sylvan and Charlick-Paley (2000), this research seeks to answer this question by exploring how top decision makers within the Bush and Clinton administrations collectively represented problems in Somalia, Rwanda and Bosnia in the early to mid-nineteen nineties. In particular, it explores whether decisions of armed humanitarian intervention and nonintervention appear linked to: (1) the invocation of historical analogies, (2) perceptions of threats and or opportunities to vital national interests, (3) perceived moral/legal imperatives, (4) pressure and interests related to domestic actors, such as the Congress, the public and the media, (5) institutional pressures and interests pertaining to U.S. membership in international organizations or alliances, such as NATO and or the United Nations, (6) the perceived relative ease and utility of intervention, and (7) vested military interests. An analysis of the collective elite discourse and evolving representations (or “stories”) of each crisis reveals, among other things, that decisions of armed humanitarian intervention and ii nonintervention appear strongly linked to perceived pressure and interests pertaining to U.S.

  • Pineapple Marines
    2019 Pineapple Marines (THE JOURNEY FROM CITIZEN TO MARINE COMBAT VETERAN) WRITTEN BY ROBERT PETERS & ROGER STALEY For The Marines who gave the “The Last Full Measure of Devotion”* including those heroic Pineapple Marines who earned our nation’s highest award, The Congressional Medal of Honor: First Lieutenant Frank S. Reasoner Corporal Robert E. O’Malley Lance Corporal Joe C. Paul *From the Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln, November 19, 1863 1 FORWARD This story tells about how young men in the early part of the 1960’s began a transition from citizen to Marine, and their training at Marine Corps schools, Quantico, Virginia where they learned to be Marine officers. The story continues to describe their experiences in the Fleet Marine Force with the 4th Marines (Rein), where they acquired the knowledge and the experience to become combat ready Marines. The 4th Marines (Rein), part of the 1st Marine Brigade, were based at Kaneohe, Oahu, Hawaii. Locations of training exercises took place on several of the Hawaiian Islands on all kinds of terrain, from beaches, to jungles, to lava moonscapes. In early 1965 the 4th Marines were scheduled to take part in a major training exercise at Camp Pendleton, California. Instead, the ships that had been loaded for some time sailed west to Okinawa for combat preparation. And, finally the story takes us to amphibious and helicopter landings at Phu Bai, Hue and Chu Lai, South Vietnam, the combat situations that followed, the first major battle of the Vietnam war, (Operation Starlite in August 1965), and many of the combat operations that occurred throughout 1965 that involved the 4th Marines (Rein), and other Marine units nearby.
