  • Where Have You Gone George C. Marshall? Colonel Douglas A
    Photo courtesy of the George C. Marshall Foundation Where Have You Gone George C. Marshall? Colonel Douglas A. LeVien United States Army here have you gone George C. Marshall? Dr. Forrest Pogue’s illuminating authorized, 1 four–volume, 1,900 page, biography of George C. Marshall published between 1963 and 1987, is the definitive, indispensable account of the “true organizer of victory” and W 1 America’s global role in the post World War II world. Pogue’s masterpiece is an enduring monument to the life of one of America’s greatest soldiers, statesmen, humanitarians, peacemakers, and architects of success. The historian Douglas Freeman once observed that when Marshall’s colleagues asked themselves what were his most noble character virtues, they immediately turned to Thomas Jefferson’s testimonial to George Washington: “His integrity was most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known, no motives of interest or consanguinity, of friendship or hatred, being able to bias his decisions.”2 “Succeeding generations,” Winston Churchill insisted, “must not be allowed to forget his achievements and his example.”3 Marshall was a leadership genius whose guiding principles are timeless and worthy of emulation. Yet after 14-plus years of endless conflict following the attacks of September 11, 2001, and for considerable spans of the last half-century, the United States has largely ignored his example. In an era when too many of our public and private leaders are more interested in their personal or special interests, and more concerned about prestige than selflessness, it is absolutely necessary to reflect upon how Marshall would have prevented the best military in the world from misguided, endless wars and provided the world’s lone superpower with the strategic vision to navigate in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environment.

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 20170617-044637-CASE-01 REPORT OF INVESTIGATION: BRIGADIER GENERAL RICK A. URIBE, U.S. MARINE CORPS I. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY Complaint Origin and Allegations On June 15, 2017, the DoD Hotline received a complaint alleging that Brigadier General (BGen) Rick A. Uribe, U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) while assigned as the Deputy Commanding General (DCG) for Operations-Baghdad, and Director, Combined Joint Operations Center (CJOC), Baghdad, Combined Joint Forces Land Component Command (CJFLCC), Iraq, permitted his officer to perform activities other than those required in the performance of official duties.1 The complaint also alleged that BGen Uribe violated Marine Corps personnel weigh-in requirements. On August 4, 2017, we initiated this investigation. During our investigation, we also identified two emerging allegations; that BGen Uribe solicited and accepted gifts from employees who received less pay than himself, and that he wore unauthorized awards. If substantiated, these allegations would violate standards summarized throughout this report. We present the applicable standards in full in Appendix A of this report. Scope and Methodology of the Investigation We conducted 23 interviews. Witnesses interviewed included BGen Uribe, his Aide, the Marine Corps Ethics Program subject matter expert (SME), the Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) to the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC), and several marines deployed with BGen Uribe and his Aide in Iraq.

  • BIOGRAPHY General Carter F. Ham, U.S. Army, Retired
    BIOGRAPHY General Carter F. Ham, U.S. Army, Retired General Ham is the president and chief executive officer of the Association of the United States Army. He is an experienced leader who has led at every level from platoon to geographic combatant command. He is also a member of a very small group of Army senior leaders who have risen from private to four-star general. General Ham served as an enlisted infantryman in the 82nd Airborne Division before attending John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio. Graduating in 1976 as a distinguished military graduate, his service has taken him to Italy, Germany, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Macedonia, Qatar, Iraq and, uniquely among Army leaders, to over 40 African countries in addition to a number of diverse assignments within the United States. He commanded the First Infantry Division, the legendary Big Red One, before assuming duties as director for operations on the Joint Staff at the Pentagon where he oversaw all global operations. His first four-star command was as commanding general, U.S. Army Europe. Then in 2011, he became just the second commander of United States Africa Command where he led all U.S. military activities on the African continent ranging from combat operations in Libya to hostage rescue operations in Somalia as well as training and security assistance activities across 54 complex and diverse African nations. General Ham retired in June of 2013 after nearly 38 years of service. Immediately prior to joining the staff at AUSA, he served as the chairman of the National Commission on the Future of the Army, an eight-member panel tasked by the Congress with making recommendations on the size, force structure and capabilities of the Total Army.

Kohn University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill The Harmon Memorial Lectures in Military History Number Forty-Two United States Air Force Academy Colorado 1999 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 Lieutenant General Hubert Reilly Harmon Lieutenant General Hubert R. Harmon was one of several distinguished Army officers to come from the Harmon family. His father graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1880 and later served as Commandant of Cadets at the Pennsylvania Military Academy. Two older brothers, Kenneth and Millard, were members of the West Point class of 1910 and 1912, respectively. The former served as Chief of the San Francisco Ordnance District during World War II; the latter reached flag rank and was lost over the Pacific during World War II while serving as Commander of the Pacific Area Army Air Forces. Hubert Harmon, born on April 3, 1882, in Chester, Pennsylvania, followed in their footsteps and graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1915. Dwight D. Eisenhower also graduated in this class, and nearly forty years later the two worked together to create the new United States Air Force Academy. Harmon left West Point with a commission in the Coast Artillery Corps, but he was able to enter the new Army air branch the following year.

  • Cyber Security and Cloud Video Surveillance
    CYBER SECURITY WHITE PAPER Page 1 of 14 Cyber Security and Cloud Video Surveillance Eagle Eye Networks | 4611 Bee Caves Rd, #200 | Austin, TX 78746 www.een.com | +1-512-473-0500 | [email protected] CYBER SECURITY WHITE PAPER Page 2 of 14 This paper explains why video surveillance system security can and should be more fully addressed within the industry, so that cyber security is not left as a problem for installers or customers to solve. Eagle Eye Networks is a leader in this respect, mitigating security concerns from the point of product research, development and deployment. Introduction Figure 1. Timeline: escalating cyber attacks on security video cameras and DVRs. Today’s networked video surveillance systems are vulnerable in many ways, and their cameras have been weaponiZed by hackers to create massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on targeted systems. Figure 1 presents a timeline of recent cyber attacks and threats affecting Internet-connected security cameras and digital video recorders (DVRs). Securing today’s networked video systems can be a complex and difficult technical challenge. However, especially for small and medium siZe businesses, it doesn’t have to be that way. Video systems and equipment can be purpose-built to constitute a pre- hardened and more easily securable system, in contrast to the current installed base of networked video technology. In September of 2016, a large French web-hosting provider reported a record-breaking 1-terabit-per- second DDoS attack against their web servers, unleashed by a collection of more than 145 thousand hacked Internet-connected video cameras and digital video recorders.
