Combat Squad Leader's Course Billet Description
c:\mydocu~1\billetd.lwp 5 May 98 Combat Squad Leader’s Course Billet Description: Infantry Squad Leader A Draft Proposal for inclusion in MCO 1510.35C MCWL 5 May 1998 c:\mydocu~1\billetd.lwp 5 May 98 UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS Marine Corps Warfighting Lab Marine Corps Combat Development Command Quantico, Virginia 22134 5 May 1998 From: Capt Brendan B. 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. -
Bridging the Gap from Coordination to Integration RUBEL
BRIDGING THE GAP FROM COORDINATION (Briana Jones) U.S. Air Force TO INTEGRATION By CURTIS V. NEAL, ROBERT B. 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.

Allied Relations and Negotiations with Spain A
Allied Relations and Negotiations With Spain A. From Spanish "Non-Belligerency" to Spanish Neutrality1 Shortly after the outbreak of the War in September 1939, Spanish dictator General Francisco Franco released an official decree of neutrality in the conflict, despite his open ideological affinity with the Axis leaders who had provided him with critical support in the Spanish Civil War. Nevertheless, he hovered on the brink of intervention on the side of the Axis through much of 1940 and 1941, and even contributed a force of Spanish volunteers estimated to be as many as 40,000, known as the Blue Division, which served as the German 250th Division on the Russian Front from mid-1941 until October 1943. The possibility of Spanish belligerency was premised on an early German victory over Britain and on German agreement to Spanish territorial expansion in Africa into French Morocco and perhaps even in Europe at the expense its neighbors, Vichy France and neutral Portugal. The United States and Britain joined in a continuing effort to keep Franco's Spain out of the War by providing essential exports like gasoline and grain to prop up the Spanish economy, which had been in a state of collapse since the end of the Spanish Civil War. The close ideological and political ties between the Franco dictatorship and those of Germany and Italy were never misapprehended by the United States and Britain. After 1941 Spain drifted gradually from imminent belligerency toward a demonstratively pro-Axis neutrality. Spain cooperated with the Allies in humanitarian efforts, allowing safe passage through Spain of downed Allied fliers, escaped Allied prisoners, and civilian refugees, including Jews.2 The nature of Spain's neutrality in World War II turned in significant measure on Allied and Spanish perceptions of the danger of German invasion. -
