  • Reading List
    “The Professional development of non-commissioned officers and junior officers within Allied Command Operations is critical to healthy Commands and to the success of NATO as a whole. As custodians of the NCO Corps, Command Senior Enlisted Leaders are entrusted to ensure that the professional development of service members should not cease when a service member is assigned to Allied Command Operations.” AD 075-015: NCO and Junior Officers Professional Development Programs All members of military services continue a life-long learning process by constantly improving their own skill sets and by obtaining new ones. By seeking opportunities for self-development, conducting extensive professional reading, expanding the knowledge base, and by applying critical and creative thinking, all military service members can further enhance their expertise. As we all train in our units and condition our bodies, we must condition our minds through reading and critical thinking. This professional reading list offers our non- commissioned officers, junior officers and others interested in professional development, a wide variety of fictional and non-fictional titles recommended as a “must read“ by leaders across Allied Command Operations. The appearance of a title in this reading list does not imply that Allied Command Operations endorses the authors views or interpretations. Svetlana Alexievich Secondhand time- The last of the Soviets “Already hailed as a masterpiece across Europe, Secondhand Time is an intimate portrait of a country yearning for meaning after the sudden lurch from Communism to capitalism in the 1990s plunged it into existential crisis. A series of monologues by people across the former Soviet empire, it is Tolstoyan in scope, driven by the idea that history is made not only by major players but also by ordinary people talking in their kitchens.”—The New York Times U.S.

  • Commanding General Reading List
    DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY WASHINGTON NATIONAL GUARD JOINT FORCE HEADQUARTERS – ARMY ELEMENT CAMP MURRAY, TACOMA, WA 98430-5000 NGWA-ZA 11 August 2020 MEMORANDUM FOR All Leaders WAARNG SUBJECT: Rainier 6’s Initial Reading List 1. Soldiering is a profession. We lead Soldiers through complex and challenging operations. Our Soldiers require the best educated and most competent leaders the Army can provide. This profession requires continuous learning in leadership, theory, history, and doctrine. Reading strengthens the mind just like physical training strengthens the body. The practice also promotes self-reflection, which is a critical component in developing your leadership style. 2. It is my expectation every leader read these books over the course of 2020. Copies will be made available as part of a WAARNG loan library in the near future. Many of these books are available in Army and civilian library systems. Information for establishing a JBLM MWR library account can be found online at: https://jblm.armymwr.com/programs/grandstaff-library 3. The following selection of books are my personal contribution towards directing our minds towards a singular goal: to achieve my 6th Tenet – Building Winning Units. They are listed in priority order and are the foundation of a reading list that will grow. I will facilitate discussions about these books during our Leader Professional Development sessions: a.

  • ISU Novel Summaries
    ANNOTATION by Book Title 1984 by George Orwell 1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell''s prophetic, nightmare vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. "1984" is still the great modern classic "negative Utopia" - a startling original and haunting novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from the first sentence to the last four words. No one can deny this novel''s power, its hold on the imagination of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions - a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time. Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler Scarred by grief after their 12-year-old son's senseless murder (he was shot by a holdup man in a Burger Bonanza), Macon and Sarah Leary are losing their marriage too. Macon is unable to cope when Sarah leaves him, so he settles down “safe among the people he'd started out with,” moving back home with two divorced brothers and spinster sister Rose. Author of a series of guidebooks called “Accidental Tourist” for businessmen who hate to travel, Macon journeys from lonely self- absorption to an ‘accidental’ new life with brassy Muriel, a dog trainer from the Meow Bow Animal Hospital, who renews and claims his heart. Not a character, including Macon's dog Edward, is untouched by delightful eccentricity in this charming story, full of surprises and wisdom. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain Hilariously picaresque, epic in scope, alive with the poetry and vigor of the American people, Mark Twain''s story about a young boy and his journey down the Mississippi was the first great novel to speak in a truly American voice.
