Center Charter Request to Establish the General H. Hugh Shelton Leadership Center a. Name of the Proposed Center We propose that NCSU establish the General H. Hugh Shelton Leadership Center. The program operations have been functioning for the last five years under an “initiative” title. b. Mission, Goals, and Objectives This center, which has functioned as an “initiative” for the past five years, is ideally aligned with the mission, goals, and objectives of NC State University. The following is an excerpt from the document “Leading, Connecting, Transforming” prepared for the UNC Tomorrow task force: As the world continues to change at a rapid pace, NC State is helping to shape the future with an uncommon focus. Our university has lived the land-grant mission of engagement for 120 years, listening proactively and constantly, remaining steadfast in a commitment to partners and the citizens of North Carolina, and following through with determined action. As the University of North Carolina Tomorrow identifies the needs facing our state over the next 20 years and develops a strategy to respond, NC State stands ready to lead, connect, and transform through our teaching, research, and outreach. Through strategic planning and a commitment to address the state and nation’s most pressing issues, NC State is organizing to focus on the following areas: 1. Preparing leaders for the state, nation, and world 2. Creating educational innovation 3. Improving health and well-being 4. Fueling economic development 5. Driving innovation in energy and the environment The mission of the General H. Hugh Shelton Leadership Center will be “to inspire, educate, and develop values-based leaders committed to personal integrity, professional ethics, and selfless service.” In alignment with this mission, the Center’s primary goal is to promote the following values: . Honor, integrity, compassion, selfless service . Ethical behavior – student, faculty, corporate, community . Global social responsibility . Autonomy of college/unit resource management and stewardship . Disciplined, purposeful action in the multiple “playing fields” of life . Collaboration, cooperation, communication, partnership. RevisedProposal to establish In order to develop and enhance these priorities both across the NCSU campus and throughout the greater community, the Center will achieve the following strategic objectives: . To elevate the importance of life-long leadership development, branding NC State University as the champion of leadership, ethics, and civic engagement . To provide a platform for increasing leadership competencies through research-based, intentional leadership development . To honor role model leaders, providing inspiration for contemporary emerging leaders . To collaborate, providing synergy for fund development activities and adding value to leadership experiences . To generate endowment and program support, sustaining successful leadership programs and encouraging innovation in all of the colleges/units. Accomplishing the above mission, goals, and objectives and associating the life’s work and public acclaim of General Hugh Shelton with academic leadership programs – enriched by forums, speaker series, visiting scholars, internships, and research programs - reinforces the ability of the university to conduct ourselves according to the highest ethical standards and to: . Develop faculty and staff of the highest quality, . Build research, graduate, and professional programs in proven and emerging areas, . Strengthen commitment to a broader, more comprehensive range of disciplines (complex social issues and ethics), . Enrich undergraduates’ education experience through active engagement with society, . Foster innovation-driven economic development, . Promote knowledge-based public policy, . Strengthen K-12 STEM education in North Carolina, . Integrate global perspectives into our programs and functions, . Strengthen the university’s resource base, and . Strengthen the university’s core infrastructure. NC State aspires to be the “Leader of the Pack” in the world providing life-long leadership development. The NC State experience has historically developed citizen leaders in all sectors of society, from the classroom to the boardroom. Through the General Hugh Shelton Center for Leadership Development, the university will integrate efforts to promote values-based leadership development. Thus, the Center aligns with the University’s mission to serve its students and the people of North Carolina as a doctoral/research-extensive, land-grant university. The Center – like the University itself – will create an innovative learning environment through the active integration of teaching, research, extension, engagement, and leadership. In the words of Chancellor James Oblinger, “North Carolina State University is committed to leadership excellence. This university-wide pursuit inspires us to lead with integrity in everything we do – from teaching students to scientific discovery to engaging in community economic development. NC State has a history of producing leaders whose legacy is values-based leadership and service. Our goal is to develop leaders who will shape our university, our state, our nation, and our world.” The General H. Hugh Shelton Leadership Center will be the model for innovative collaboration honoring this commitment to excellence in leadership, education, ethics, service, and engagement. 2 c. Relationships to Existing Units The General H. Hugh Shelton Leadership Center will not duplicate the research or public service function of any existing center or program, but will create synergy and visibility amongst various programs while fostering university collaborations. While operating as an “initiative,” the proposed center has already established programs and funding partnerships, with scholarships located in several colleges and units, including CALS, Engineering, Continuing Education, ROTC, and the N. C. State Foundation. The expanded Center will provide a unified virtual presence for current and future university leadership programs, thus combining the efforts of currently disparate faculty, staff, students, community members, departments, colleges, and programs to achieve common goals. Administrators, faculty, staff and students from all colleges have already participated in the Shelton Leadership Forum, a world class professional development opportunity that has exposed the university community and our community partners to national and international role model leaders such as Dr. Stephen Covey, Jim Kouzes, Gen. Richard Myers, Ross Perot, John Maxwell, and the Honorable Bill Cohen. Active educational partnerships exist with the Park Scholars, Caldwell Fellows, CSLEPS, the University Honors Program, the Center for Excellence in Curricular Engagement and the Department of Athletics. The Center will provide a unified virtual presence that will achieve common goals and objectives by integrating the vision and efforts of various individuals and programs. Through the combination of these efforts and vision, the Center will offer the following advantages: . The Shelton Leadership Center will assist University Administration and Development to support integrated resource acquisition and present a holistic vision of leadership development to university-wide partners and donors. The Center will cooperate with College/Unit Development offices to provide integrated relationship management, packaging leadership excellence in discipline- specific and overarching terms to partners/donors, identify and facilitate leadership fundraising and participation for existing programs, many with expansion plans that could be strengthened by this relationship. Shelton Leadership Program and Other University Leadership Thrusts will provide case statements that create the compelling messages that attract partners and resources and assist in identifying program beneficiaries for cultivation and solicitation. The university community recognizes the opportunity to be associated with a role model leader of the public prominence, professional achievements, and personal qualities of Gen. Hugh Shelton, N.C. State alumnus and only North Carolinian to ever to rise to the level of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the most powerful military position in the world. General Shelton is known for his “joint” approaches for preparing the modern military to protect and defend our nation. These “joint” approaches have been and will continue to be the hallmark of the Shelton Leadership efforts on campus. Through leadership, innovative and collaboration, the Shelton Leadership Center will greatly benefit society. General Hugh Shelton, at the opening of the Airborne and Special Operations Museum, stated, “Great nations need to be reminded of what made them great.” In 3 alignment with this, our contemporary society needs effective, ethical, well-educated leaders committed to professional and personal achievement, civic engagement and public service. NCSU, through the work of the Shelton Leadership Center, is the perfect place for such leaders to learn, grow, and develop. Chancellor Emeritus John Tyler Caldwell once said, “A university is around to help [young people] discover themselves and unfold and be the magnificent human beings they are capable of being. This world is so big, and the possibilities are almost infinite – they are infinite – for any individual life. So let’s give them a chance to do some thinking about it as they go along and as they begin to discover themselves and this big universe

Wills June 2012 © 2012 Steven T. Wills. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Navy and Marine Corps Opposition to the Goldwtaer Nichols Act of 1986 by STEVEN T. WILLS has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Ingo Traushweizer Assistant Professor of History Howard Dewald Interim Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT WILLS, STEVEN T., M.A., June 2012, History Navy and Marine Corps Opposition to the Goldwater Nichols Act of 1986 Director of Thesis: Ingo Traushweizer The Goldwater Nichols Act of 1986 was the most comprehensive defense reorganization legislation in a generation. It has governed the way the United States has organized, planned, and conducted military operations for the last twenty five years. It passed the Senate and House of Representatives with margins of victory reserved for birthday and holiday resolutions. It is praised throughout the U.S. defense establishment as a universal good. Despite this, it engendered a strong opposition movement organized primarily by Navy Secretary John F. Lehman but also included members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, prominent Senators and Congressman, and President Reagan's Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger. This essay will examine the forty year background of defense reform movements leading to the Goldwater Nichols Act, the fight from 1982 to 1986 by supporters and opponents of the proposed legislation and its twenty-five year legacy that may not be as positive as the claims made by the Department of Defense suggest.

  • The Bush Revolution: the Remaking of America's Foreign Policy
    The Bush Revolution: The Remaking of America’s Foreign Policy Ivo H. Daalder and James M. Lindsay The Brookings Institution April 2003 George W. Bush campaigned for the presidency on the promise of a “humble” foreign policy that would avoid his predecessor’s mistake in “overcommitting our military around the world.”1 During his first seven months as president he focused his attention primarily on domestic affairs. That all changed over the succeeding twenty months. The United States waged wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. U.S. troops went to Georgia, the Philippines, and Yemen to help those governments defeat terrorist groups operating on their soil. Rather than cheering American humility, people and governments around the world denounced American arrogance. Critics complained that the motto of the United States had become oderint dum metuant—Let them hate as long as they fear. September 11 explains why foreign policy became the consuming passion of Bush’s presidency. Once commercial jetliners plowed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, it is unimaginable that foreign policy wouldn’t have become the overriding priority of any American president. Still, the terrorist attacks by themselves don’t explain why Bush chose to respond as he did. Few Americans and even fewer foreigners thought in the fall of 2001 that attacks organized by Islamic extremists seeking to restore the caliphate would culminate in a war to overthrow the secular tyrant Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Yet the path from the smoking ruins in New York City and Northern Virginia to the battle of Baghdad was not the case of a White House cynically manipulating a historic catastrophe to carry out a pre-planned agenda.

  • Deep Sea Drilling Project Initial Reports Volume 43
    FRONTISPIECE 1. Campanian variegated volcanogenic clay and marly nannofossil ooze from near the base of Nashville Seamount (Site 382, Core 17, Section 2). The clays (darker layers) are locally silty and contain zeolites, volcanic glass, and palagonite. The sand layer at 116 to 121 cm consists of zeolites and volcanic glass along with foraminifers and calcareous shell fragments. Most sediments appear to be displaced from shallower areas on the flank of Nashville Seamount. 2. Typical Albian "black claystone" at Site 386, central Bermuda Rise, showing alternating gray-green burrow-mottled beds and black, finely laminated beds. Coarse layers are radiolarian sands, and small concretion is siderite (Core 62, Section 2). 3. Cretaceous volcaniclastic breccia from the lower flank of Vogel Seamount (Site 385, Core 24, Section 1). The breccia con¬ sists of poorly sorted, angular to subrounded clasts of basalt in various stages of alteration in a base matrix of calcite. 4. Cretaceous/Tertiary contact in calcareous ooze at Site 384 (J-Anomaly Ridge). The contact, slightly disturbed by drilling, occurs at 33 cm, at the upward change from lighter to darker color. This sequence represents probably the most complete biostratigraphic record of the Cretaceous/Tertiary transition yet obtained in a pelagic facies (Site 384, Core 13, Section 3). 5. Cenomanian black claystone with pyrite nodule, southeastern Bermuda Rise (Site 386, Core 44, Section 1). 6. Transition zone typifying the contact between underlying greenish gray and black claystones and overlying reddish, zeolitic claystones, all of Cenomanian age (Site 386, southeastern Bermuda Rise, Core 4, Section 5). 7. Rhythmically bedded Albian claystones and radiolarian mudstones from Site 387 (Core 35, Section 2) on the western Bermuda Rise.

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.
