McBreen To: Director, MCWL Subj: PROPOSED CHANGE TO MCO 1510.35C: INFANTRY SQUAD LEADER BILLET DESCRIPTION 1. The MOS Manual, MCO P1200.7P (5 Apr 95), contains no duty descriptions for infantrymen. The manual states “For a complete listing of duties and tasks, refer to MCO 1510.35C.” 2. MCO 1510.35C, The Individual Training Standards for Occupational Field 03, contains no duty descriptions either. It merely lists training tasks required for each rank. There is no prioritization. There are no stated minimum requirements. 3. FMFM 6-5 Marine Rifle Squad does not contain a comprehensive description of the duties of the rifle squad leader. 4. This document attempts to fill this gap. The following draft squad leader billet description is proposed for inclusion into MCO 1510.35C. 5. A billet description serves the following purposes: a. Defines the requirements for promotion. A Marine should be competent in his current billet before being considered for promotion. b. Defines the school curriculum. A squad leader course teaches those skills required by the squad leader billet description. Both units and schools refer to a common reference, which resolves differences of opinion. c. Guides training and evaluation. Marines can train and prepare for their next billet.

GREEN, and TROY CARAWAY Legacy AC2 [airspace command and control] elements buy airspace today for tomorrow’s war. Airspace control measures (ACM) such as Restricted Operating Zones . do not inte- grate airspace users . ACMs deconflict users via exclusive volumes of airspace. Because airspace is a finite resource, as the number of airspace users increases, AC2 elements run out of airspace. To effectively put more users in a given volume of airspace, AC2 elements must provide real time separation from other users and fires. Real time control of a volume of airspace, whether positive or procedural, requires communication with all users, a common reference system, and authority to direct/control the users without affecting their flexibility and freedom of maneuver.1 Colonel Curtis V.

  • Procurement Politics, Technology Transfer and the Challenges of Collaborative MBT Projects in the NATO Alliance Since 1945
    A Standard European Tank? Procurement Politics, Technology Transfer and the Challenges of Collaborative MBT Projects in the NATO Alliance since 1945 Mike Cubbin School of Arts and Media Salford University Submitted to the University of Salford in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2019 Abstract International cooperation in weapons technology projects has long been a feature of alliance politics; and, there are many advantages to both international technology transfer and standardisation within military alliances. International collaboration between national defence industries has produced successful weapon systems from technologically advanced fighter aircraft to anti-tank missiles. Given the success of many joint defence projects, one unresolved question is why there have been no successful collaborative international main battle tank (MBT) projects since 1945. This thesis seeks to answer this question by considering four case studies of failed attempts to produce an MBT through an international collaborative tank project: first and second, the Franco-German efforts to produce a standard European tank, or Euro-Panzer (represented by two separate projects in 1957-63 and 1977- 83); third, the US-German MBT-70 project (1963-70); and, fourth, the Anglo-German Future Main Battle Tank, or KPz3 (1971-77). In order to provide an explanation of the causes of failure on four separate occasions, the analysis includes reference to other high-technology civilian and military joint projects which either succeeded,
