  • The Few the Proud the Marines
    Marines The Few The Proud The Marines Officer Commissioning Programs For College Seniors And Graduates . THE PATH TO BECOMING A MARINE CORPS OFFICER Every journey starts with a first step. Your first step in making a decision to join the ranks of the elite starts here. By reviewing the information in this pamphlet, you'll be able to discuss options with the Officer Selection Officer and gain an understanding of not only what the Marine Corps can offer you, but what we expect of you as well. The specific training path you will follow depends on where you are in your college education, your qualifications, and your preferences. The information and charts on the following pages outline the training paths for college seniors and graduates. To find out more information contact Captain Kozel at 814-237-8578. OCC OFFICER CANDIDATE CLASS PROGRAM GENERAL The Marine Corps looks to the nation's colleges and universities for its officers. Primarily, because one of the main prerequisites for obtaining a commission in the Corps is a college degree. The Marine Corps also obtains a limited number of its officers through the Naval Academy and the NROTC program. However, these programs do not supply the number of officers required each year by the Marine Corps. Recognizing this, the Officer Candidate Class (OCC) Program was adopted by the Corps and is the only program through which college seniors and graduates (both men and women) can apply to obtain a commission in the Marine Corps. You cannot simply "join" the Marine Corps as an officer. You must meet and surpass certain criteria to be a competitive applicant for the limited number of Officer positions that the Marine Corps has available every year.

  • Military Rank Equivalency
    Military rank equivalency Although GS civilians do not have military rank by virtue of their GS position, regulations include civilian and military grade equivalencies for pay and protocol comparison purposes. Military rank or civilian grade often have no bearing on supervisory precedence—generally, precedence and authority are guided by situational expertise. For example, a GS-9 is considered comparable to a first lieutenant or lieutenant (junior grade) (O-2), while a GS-15 (top of the General Schedule) is the equivalent grade of a colonel or captain (O-6). Senior Executive Service (SES) and Senior Level grades correspond for protocol purposes to flag and general officers (admirals and generals). Grade equivalencies were created by the U.S. Department of Defense for the purpose of treating civilians serving alongside the Armed Forces who have been captured as prisoners of war according to the Geneva Convention.[6] Geneva Convention Category GS MILITARY Senior Executive V: General Officer O-7 through O-10 Service GS-15 O-6 IV: Field Grade Officer GS-14/GS-13 O-5 GS-12 O-4 O-3 GS-11/GS-10 O-2 and W-4/W- III: Company Grade Officer GS-9/GS-8 3 GS-7 O-1 and W-2/W- 1 II: Non-commissioned Officer/Staff Non-Comissioned GS-6 E-7 through E-9 Officer GS-5 E-6/E-5 GS-4 E-4 I: Enlisted GS-1 through GS-3 E-1 through E-3 Grade equivalencies have also been issued by the U.S. Department of State for other purposes, such as assignment of permanent and transient housing to eligible civilian employees.

The aircraft completed a series of tests demonstrating its ability to operate safely and seamlessly with manned aircraft. In “Lifting the Fog of Targeting: ‘Autonomous Weapons’ and Human Control through the Lens of Military Targeting,” Merel A. C. Ekelhof addresses the current context of increas- ingly autonomous weapons, making the case that military targeting practices should be the core of any analysis that seeks a better understanding of the concept of meaningful human control.

  • Military Use of Geologists and Geology: a Historical Overview and Introduction
    Downloaded from http://sp.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on September 25, 2021 Military use of geologists and geology: a historical overview and introduction EDWARD P. F. ROSE1*, JUDY EHLEN2,3 & URSULA L. LAWRENCE4 1Department of Earth Sciences, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey TW20 0EX, UK 2US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Alexandria, VA, USA (retired) 3Present address: 3 Haytor Vale, Haytor, Newton Abbot, Devon TQ13 9XP, UK 4Capita Property and Infrastructure, Capita House, Wood Street, East Grinstead, West Sussex RH19 1UU, UK E.P.F.R., 0000-0003-4182-6426; J.E., 0000-0002-1595-7820; U.L.L., 0000-0001-8820-1699 *Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Napoleon Bonaparte was, in 1798, the first general to include geologists as such on a military operation. Within the UK, the following century saw geology taught, and national geological mapping initiated, as a military science. Nevertheless, military geologists were not deployed on a battlefield until World War I, first by the German and Austro-Hungarian armies and later and less intensively those of the UK and USA. Geol- ogists were used primarily to guide abstraction of groundwater, construction of ‘mine’ tunnels and dug-outs, development of fortifications and quarrying of natural resources to enhance or repair supply routes. Only the USSR and Germany entered World War II with organized military geological expertise, but the UK and later the USA made significant use of military geologists, albeit far fewer than the c. 400 in total used by German forces. Military geologist roles in World War II included most of those of World War I, but were extended to other aspects of terrain evaluation, notably the rapid construction of temporary airfields and factors affecting cross-country vehicular movement (‘going’).
