    Inconvenient Truths Moral Challenges to Combat Leadership Dr. George R. Lucas, Jr. Stockdale Center for Ethical Leadership U.S. Naval Academy (Annapolis) 2 20th Annual Joseph Reich, Sr. Memorial Lecture U.S. Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs) November 7, 2007 “Inconvenient Truths” -Moral Challenges to Combat Leadership in the New Millennium- G. R. Lucas U.S. Naval Academy (Annapolis) General Born, General & Mrs. Wakin, Mr. Joseph Reich, Jr and members of the Reich family, honored guests, and most of all, to the members of the Cadet Wing of the USAFA in attendance here tonight: good evening, and thank you for inviting me to be with you. I represent an organization at the Naval Academy, the Stockdale Center for Ethical Leadership. Don’t be put off that our Center is named after “some Navy guy.” In fact, Vice Admiral Stockdale was – as many of you will also one day be – an accomplished aviator and combat leader. He was, as you no doubt also know, a decorated war hero, including the award of the Congressional Medal of Honor. In his many writings, and in a book with an intriguing title, Philosophical Reflections of a Fighter Pilot, Admiral Stockdale taught, in essence, that the true combat 3 leader and warrior is a teacher, a steward, a jurist, a moralist, and. a philosopher. A “Combat Leader” is . • A Teacher • A Steward •A Jurist • A Moralist • A Philosopher We might pause to reflect upon what Stockdale meant by each of these terms. But regardless of the meaning associated with each, I suspect that this unusual list of traits appears nowhere else in the leadership material you have both studied and learned by example during your time at the Air Force Academy.

    OPERATION RED WINGS – The (Mis)Information Aftermath Copyright © Ed Darack, 2010, All Rights Reserved – For The Marine Corps Gazette Ed Darack – www.darack.com – [email protected] Published in the January, 2011 issue of the Marine Corps Gazette, Page 62 NOTE: The editors at the Gazette changed the subtitle from “The (Mis)Information Aftermath” to “What Really Happened?” “Don’t let the truth ruin a good story.” – Origin unknown OVERVIEW: The events of OPERATION RED WINGS, which spiraled into disaster shortly after the insert of a four-man Naval Special Operations Forces (NAVSOF) reconnaissance and surveillance team (R and S team) during the opening phase of the operation, present warfighters (and those covering military operations) with a broad array of vital contemporary case studies relevant to those functioning at the battalion staff, company, platoon, and squad levels. These include studies in deconfliction between conventional and special operations forces, the paramount necessity of unity of command / effort, communication in complex mountainous terrain, mountain ambush tactics, and the importance of comprehensive, detailed planning, among others. Despite these lessons (the knowledge of which will arguably save lives in future operations), little has been discussed in professional military papers about OPERATION RED WINGS. However, much has been written and discussed about RED WINGS in general media (which is often referenced by warfighters for their ongoing professional military education), and much of this, including the content of two books on the topic, is rife with misinformation. BACKGROUND, KEY POINTS, AND AFTERMATH OF OPERATION RED WINGS: In November, 2004, 3d Battalion, 3d Marines (3/3) arrived in RC-East (Regional Command – East, Afghanistan) and assumed responsibility of their area of operations (AO), which included the restive Kunar Province.

  • DID SERVANT-LEADERSHIP SAVE the LONE SURVIVOR? the Pashtunwali Ethos As a Foundation for the Practice of Servant- Leadership — X
    DID SERVANT-LEADERSHIP SAVE THE LONE SURVIVOR? The Pashtunwali Ethos as a Foundation for the Practice of Servant- Leadership — X. JASMINE BORDERE AND FRANKLIN G. MIXON, JR. ervant-leadership is a unique leadership philosophy that, Saccording to Greenleaf (1970, 1977), asserts that an effective leader must first be a servant whose primary goal is to serve the needs and interests of others. Stated differently, a servant-leader supports and develops those among his or her followership (Northouse, 2013). In fact, Stone, Russell, and Patterson (2004) suggest that its central focus on serving followers is what differentiates servant-leadership from other leadership styles. Additionally, servant-leaders express humility, authenticity, interpersonal acceptance and stewardship, and provide directions and empower followers, all of which ultimately leads to organizational success (Dierendonck & Nuijten, 2011; Northouse, 2013). The practice of servant-leadership has a long history. As evident in The Holy Bible, Jesus Christ first introduced the concept of servant-leadership to human endeavor over two thousand years ago (Sendjaya & Sarros, 2002). However, it was not until the 1970s that Greenleaf (1970, 1977) conceptualized the notion of servant- leadership and revitalized the practice of servant-leadership in modern organizations (Gandolfi, Stone, & Deno, 2017). Based on 359 The International Journal of Servant-Leadership, 2020, vol, 14, issue 1, 359-380 Greenleaf’s (1970, 1977) view of servant-leadership, Spears (1995) identifies 10 critical characteristics

    BUD/S TO BATTLEFIELD AND BACK AGAIN: EXPLORING THE ASCENT OF THE U.S. NAVY SEAL TO THE REALM OF AMERICAN SUPERHERO A Senior Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in American Studies By William R. Morris III Washington, D.C. April 17, 2019 Copyright © 2019 William R. Morris III All rights reserved ii For those who never quit, may we never forget. iii BUD/S TO BATTLEFIELD AND BACK AGAIN: EXPLORING THE ASCENT OF THE U.S. NAVY SEAL TO THE REALM OF AMERICAN SUPERHERO William R. Morris III Thesis Adviser: Rebecca Boylan, Ph.D. ABSTRACT U.S. Navy SEALs have become ubiquitous in the years since SEAL Team Six killed Osama Bin Laden during Operation Neptune Spear in 2011. SEAL narratives and stories can be found in bookstores, movie theaters, newspapers, talk shows, board rooms, and campaign trails. But who are Navy SEALs? Though existing scholarly literature explores the factual elements of SEALs, the archetypal identity of Navy SEALs remains a mystery. By some popular accounts, SEALs are American superheroes or living legends who bridge the gap between myth and reality. This thesis finds and explores the intricacies of the SEAL identity by reading SEAL narratives and stories, particularly American Sniper (the film), American Sniper (the book), Fearless, The Operator, and Lone Survivor.1 This thesis argues that a Hegelian dialectic between the ordinary and the extraordinary characterizes the Navy SEAL identity which emerges from the intersection of the narratives and stories produced by SEALs, specifically those who waged the War on Terror between 2001 and 2011.

  • Lone Survivor” Mission 13 Mar 2018
    Leadership Lessons from the “Lone Survivor” Mission 13 Mar 2018 Former Army helicopter pilot Matthew Brady, founder and CEO of Pershing Barracks Capital, discusses his battlefield experience—and how it shaped his approach to business In 2007, Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell wrote a book called Lone Survivor, recounting his experience during a 2005 mission in Northeastern Afghanistan that ultimately claimed the lives of 19 of his fellow soldiers. It was a best seller, and in 2014, became a major motion picture starring Mark Wahlberg. Matt Brady lived this mission. As a pilot in an elite Army helicopter unit called the Night Stalkers, he was tasked with delivering Luttrell and three other soldiers to the drop point, and sticking around to make sure they found a good place to hide in the mountains. The next day, though, that team was attacked. And here, Brady tells a story of the last-minute decision that kept him from the subsequent ill-fated rescue mission, the difficult decisions he had to make that day, and the leadership lessons he took from the experience. I want to talk to you about the Operation Red Wings mission in Afghanistan in 2005. Tell me about that mission and your role in it. BRADY: Operation Red Wings came about one night after I'd been in Afghanistan for about three or four weeks. I was in the planning room one day when a US Navy SEAL walked in the door, and asked me if I've heard of Operation Red Wings. So we talked for a little bit, we opened up a map, and he pointed to a place in Northeastern Afghanistan called the Korengal Valley.
