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 The research examined historical documents, leader accounts, and scholarly literature on innovation.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.

A continuous vigil at sea. Protecting ships front submarines, To keep our country free.1 The British freighter Umtata slowly lumbered north, hugging the Dade Count}’ coast during the humid South Florida night of July 7, 1942. Backlit by the loom of Miami s lights, she made an irresistible target for German Kapitanleutnant Helmut Mohlntann as he squinted through the lens of Unterseeboot-5~l's periscope. W hen the doomed freighter was fixed in its crosshairs, Mohlntann shouted, “Fire!” The sudden vibration of his stealthy death ship was followed by an immediate hissing sound as the E-7 electric eel escaped its firing tube through a swirl of compressed air bubbles. The U-boat skipper and his hydrophone operator carefully timed the torpedo’s run, while the men hopefully waited for the blast sig­ naling the demise of yet another victim of Admiral Karl Donitz's “Operation Drumbeat.” Within seconds, a tremendous explosion rewarded their hopes as the star-crossed merchant vessel erupted into a huge billowing fireball.- Millions of gallons of crude oil. gasoline and other petroleum prod­ ucts desperately needed in the Allied war effort were being shipped up the Florida coast in tankers from Texas, Venezuela, Aruba and Curacao to New Jersey and New York ports. From those staging areas, tankers and freighters carrying oil and munitions combined in convovs traveling east across the North Atlantic to the British Isles.

Cox, Director NHHC February 2020 Background Iwo Jima is a small volcanic island (eight square miles) located roughly midway between Saipan and Tokyo and, in 1945, was on the path of B-29 Superfortress missions flying from bases in the Marianas Islands to targets in Japan, which gave the island its strategic significance. The island is roughly triangular in shape (like a pork chop) and deceptively flat, with the 554-foot Mount Suribachi at the southwestern apex being the most prominent feature. The entire island is crisscrossed with caves, tunnels, and volcanic fissures, which the Japanese adapted for a very effective defense. About 160 miles to the northeast of Iwo Jima are the somewhat larger islands of Hahajima and Chichijima (where future President George H.

  • Environmental Futures Research: Experiences, Approaches, and Opportunities
    United States Department of Agriculture Environmental Futures Forest Service Research: Experiences, Northern Research Station Approaches, and General Technical Report NRS-P-107 Opportunities Abstract These papers, presented in a special session at the International Symposium on Society and Resource Management in June 2011, explore the transdisciplinary fi eld of futures research and its application to long-range environmental analysis, planning, and policy. Futures research began in the post-World War II era and has emerged as a mature research fi eld. Although the future of complex social-ecological systems cannot be predicted, these papers show how futures research can offer perspectives and methods that help researchers, decisionmakers, and other stakeholders explore alternative futures and gain environmental foresight—insight that can inform decisionmaking on environmental challenges. One author points out that the study of the future can be thought of as the study of change. He discusses three types of futures: the expected future, a range of plausible alternatives, and the preferred future, which decisionmakers can shape depending on their choice of action. An example of the methodology of futures research is provided in another chapter, which illustrates the use of scenario development. Another chapter identifi es global trends that could dramatically change social-ecological systems. The second half of the collection applies the methods and approaches of futures research to natural resource management. A global and a regional scenario illustrate scenario planning, a methodology that produces sets of plausible futures that could develop from current conditions depending on alternative human choices and drivers of change. Another example demonstrates how analysts can incorporate global scenarios and modeling, and scoping of trends and issues, into forest inventory data to gain insight into the regional forests of tomorrow.

    Professional Knowledge Book Class of 2019 AN INTRODUCTION TO THE U.S. NAVY AND MARINE CORPS NAME___________________________ALPHA_____________________CO_______ 1 UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY Duty…. Honor…. Loyalty…. Character Development and Training Class of 2019, The Navy Warfare pins and Marine Eagle, Globe, and Anchor on the cover of this Professional Knowledge Book (Pro-Book) represent the service assignments for the Class of 2016. Regardless of which one you are assigned in the fall of 2018, there is a core professional knowledge that you are required to attain prior to receiving a commission as a basically trained Navy or Marine Corps Officer from the U.S. Naval Academy. The Midshipmen Training Program (MTP) is a primary means of accomplishing that requirement. The MTP consists of six basic components: 1. Midshipmen Qualification Standards (MQS) – books that are divided by class year and contain core learning objectives (LO). Yours is in the back of this Pro-Book. 2. References – used to acquire the knowledge necessary to complete the MQS. They include this Pro-Book, websites listed in each MQS, and files posted at: http://intranet.usna.edu/Training/Professional%20Knowledge%20References.php. 3. Instruction Periods – used for “come-arounds” and other training opportunities during which you will show that you have mastered the LOs. 4. 4/C Pro-Quizzes/Exam – quizzes administered weekly to assess comprehension of the applicable LOs, and a Pro-Exam administered at the end of the fall semester as a mid-point evaluation for Plebe Year. 5. Professional Competency Boards (PCB) – oral boards administered to 4/C Midshipmen in the spring to objectively assess comprehension of all LOs for the year.
