Commander Ian Shag is and that is an idiot of the British Navy and that means even with the ladies. To start with, two women are in love with the same man. Darline Simon and Florence Waters are in love with the Commander and it is a battle between love for the same man and wait and see who gets him at the end.

"The purpose of this research was to examine the impact of the Air National Guard's (ANG) increased participation in the Total Force construct since September 11, 2001, on the position of the traditional, part-time commander. To achieve this objective, this research included a case study on the state of California, as one of the largest states in the US, and interviews of current and former traditional commanders, as well as their full-time representatives who oversee the daily operations of the unit while the commander is physically absent. The case study found traditional commanders do fill billets at every command level across California, however, in decreased numbers at higher levels of command and in diminishing numbers within units directly tied to operational missions. The results of this research include a consolidated list of recommendations from the field for overcoming the identified challenges to serving as, and working for, a part-time commander in the ANG. These recommendations include specific, practical suggestions for ways to adequately resource, train, and empower part-time commanders for success. This study also confirmed the need for a renewed emphasis on developing general 'officership' across the ANG, therefore, many of the recommendations included are applicable for developing and preparing all ANG officers for increased levels of responsibility over the course of their careers"--Abstract.

In 1950, when he commissioned the first edition of The Armed Forces Officer, Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall told its author, S.L.A. Marshall, that "American military officers, of whatever service, should share common ground ethically and morally." In this new edition, the authors methodically explore that common ground, reflecting on the basics of the Profession of Arms, and the officer's special place and distinctive obligations within that profession and especially to the Constitution.

In this work, Fred Drogula studies the development of Roman provincial command using the terms and concepts of the Romans themselves as reference points. Beginning in the earliest years of the republic, Drogula argues, provincial command was not a uniform concept fixed in positive law but rather a dynamic set of ideas shaped by traditional practice. Therefore, as the Roman state grew, concepts of authority, control over territory, and military power underwent continual transformation. This adaptability was a tremendous resource for the Romans since it enabled them to respond to new military challenges in effective ways. But it was also a source of conflict over the roles and definitions of power. The rise of popular politics in the late republic enabled men like Pompey and Caesar to use their considerable influence to manipulate the flexible traditions of military command for their own advantage. Later, Augustus used nominal provincial commands to appease the senate even as he concentrated military and governing power under his own control by claiming supreme rule. In doing so, he laid the groundwork for the early empire's rules of command.

Democracy triumphed over communism in the Cold War. Now in the 1990's, America, true to her militia tradition, is de-mobilizing. Since 1989, the active-duty force has shrunk by one-third. Yet, 30,000 to 80,000 service members deploy weekly in support of approximately one half-dozen operations scattered around the globe. This smaller military repeatedly does more with less. What keeps the current operations tempo (optempo) from reaching a state of critical mass? The inclusion of the reserve forces in exercises and deployments. In particular, the Air National Guard has supported the active Air Force in every major deployment and operation since Desert Shield/Storm. The Total Force Policy goal of seamless integration is close to realization. But, what is the price? Reservists have also experienced the detrimental effects of optempo. Long tours of duty and short-notice deployments interrupt family life and cause disruptions in the civilian workplace. Can the traditional Air National Guard commander, a citizen-soldier, handle the increasing burdens and problems of leadership in a militia organization? Is the part time commander relevant today as the identities of the Air Force regular and air reservist begin to blend? What does the 21st century hold for the air reserve components?

At the end of this book, you should be able to describe the differences between the three economic systems of traditional, market and command. Further analyze what the advantages and disadvantages of each system. The ability to recognize example of each market system is the best way to gauge your child’s understanding of the topic.

Experienced commanders discuss anecdotes and case studies from their past operations.

An important new work that will change the way we think about and understand battles

This title was first published in 2003. Economists have had increasing success in arguing the merits of market-based approaches to environmental problems. By making polluting expensive, market-based approaches provide polluters with incentives to clean up, rather than mandates to stop polluting. These approaches include pollution taxes, transferable emissions permits and subsidies for pollution abatement. The purpose of this volume is to explore the situations where Command and Control (CAC) may not be all bad, and in fact might even have some advantages over market-based instruments (MBI).
