Under copyright law, no part of this document may be reproduced without the expressed permission of the author. iii Abstract The US military, faced with unprecedented challenges, has sought to transform its services and other commands into more innovative organizations and has struggled in trying to understand the process to accomplish this. Studies that have been conducted to determine how best to make this transformation have not offered a comprehensive methodology or model that has proven useful. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the practices of military leadership teams and organizational innovation in historic and highly successful military commands, specifically in the World War II Pacific theater of operations, to gain insights into how current and future leadership may influence innovation. The research examined historical documents, leader accounts, and scholarly literature on innovation. Through this case study, insights were gained into how current and future leadership may influence the transformation into innovative organizations through their practices.

    Warfighting Cliff Notes A Synopsis of MCDP 1 Warfighting United States Marine Corps Marine Corps Warfighting Lab Marine Corps Combat Development Command Quantico, Virginia 10 May 1998 1 Warfighting Cliff Notes A Synopsis of MCDP 1 Warfighting Foreword. This publication describes the philosophy which distinguishes the U.S. Marine Corps. This publication provides the authoritative basis for how we fight and how we prepare to fight. While not a reference, this manual is meant to give broad guidance in the form of concepts and values. This doctrine applies to all Marines. I expect all Marines to read this book, understand it, and act upon it. This publication describes a philosophy for action. The concepts in this book dictate our approach to duty, war, and peace. C.C. KRULAK General, U.S. Marine Corps Commandant of the Marine Corps Chapter 1: The Nature of War War Defined. War is a violent clash of interests between or among organized groups characterized by the use of military force. These groups are not always nations, but can be political groups, terrorists, or guerrillas within nations. The essence of war is a violent struggle between two hostile, independent, and irreconcilable wills, each trying to impose itself on the other. The object in war is to impose our will on the enemy. We do this by threatening or using military force. War may range from battles between large military forces to smaller guerrilla clashes. Military force can be used to restore civil peace, or overturn the existing social order. Friction. Countless factors make war difficult to conduct.

We hope you enjoy this edition of the Golden Buffalo Bulletin! Military Ball 2017 Keeping it in the Family The Amazing Race: Golden Spring JFTX On a chilly Saturday morning in January, Cadets from the Golden Buffalo Battalion gathered at the Colorado School of Mines campus in Bataan Memorial Death Golden for the third annual Amazing Race event. They knew from March past events generally what to expect, as the events are modelled after the TV show of the same name. Thank You and Best Wishes This particular event consisted of a photo-scavenger-hunt-foot-race to visit area landmarks, with leadership or tactical challenges littered Spring 2017 throughout the course. What they did not expect was the intensity; Commissioning over the six hours of the event, teams ran over fifteen miles cumulative distance, summiting all three major terrain features in the Golden area including a challenging three-mile hill climb up Lookout Mountain and both North and South Table Mesa. Physical difficulties aside, the Superlab was an exercise in critical thinking and mental agility. The race’s stations, led by battalion cadre members, included tasks such as surprise pop quizzes and rappelling demonstrations.
