"Women play a critical role in the defense of the United States as members of the military. As women have joined the workplace in increasing numbers, they do not remain in the US Army at the same rate as their male counterparts. The US Army is unable to capitalize on the full extent of the US population to recruit and retain its most valuable weapon: the American soldier. This study used a qualitative research methodology to analyze four other armed services to understand what efforts they have made towards retaining diverse populations. Using the US Coast Guard, the US Air Force, the Australian Defence Force, and the Norwegian Armed Forces, this study seeks to understand what policies the US Army could adopt to better retain female officers. This analysis found that adopting policies which allow for increased work flexibility helps to retain women and aligning physical fitness standards with deployment policies further retains women. One of the key findings is that the US Army must seek to understand what drives women retention and then share best practice across the joint force"--

"In an attempt to end the stalemate on the Western Front during World War I, German scientists and engineers created a supergun capable of firing a 233-pound projectile over 75 miles to bombard the citizens of Paris, France. These weapons, The Paris Guns, possessed the potential to achieve an exponential military advantage for the German Military. However, the Germans' folly became clear as they developed a weapon without first considering its ability to achieve the effects they desired. Today, the United States Army seeks to develop superguns capable of exponentially increased range, the strategic long-range cannons. The United States Army has defined a role for these weapons in deterring in competition, and penetrating and dis-integrating anti-access and area denial networks in armed conflict. This study examined the history and effects of The Paris Guns at the strategic level. It then measured the accumulation of these effects across the operational variables. This study concluded that The Paris Guns achieved some strategic effects; however, these effects did not benefit the Germans. Additionally, this study concluded that the United States Army's pursuit of Strategic Long-Range Cannons is viable, provided the pursuit avoids the strategic errors of The Paris Guns during World War I"--

"The American Army's mobilization for World War I was fraught with difficulties, resulting in a number of failings that produced a capable but flawed expeditionary force. The traditional interpretation of army training during that conflict was lackluster as it produced combat units that lacked critical capabilities. The experience of learning how to train and how to write training doctrine produced positive results that have been largely overlooked by historians. This study examines the status of training in the pre-war army, to include both existing doctrine and institutional management organizations. It then chronicles the wartime experience and traces the evolution of training doctrine and practices during the war. It concludes by looking at the immediate post-war years to determine what lasting impacts the wartime experiences had on training doctrine and management. Overall, this study concludes that the training effort during World War I had significant long-term benefits for the army, producing the foundation of the army's training practices through World War II"--

"In the early morning of 18 April 1906, a massive earthquake struck the San Francisco Bay Area. The initial tremor was estimated at a 7.9 moment magnitude, leading to a conflagration that destroyed thousands of buildings, hundreds of millions of dollars of property, and led to the deaths of an estimated 3,000 individuals. In the hours following the earthquake a joint military force led by Brigadier General Frederick Funston of the US Army Department of California mobilized to provide security, firefighting, and disaster relief. The Army's actions during the crisis were fraught with legal and practical problems, ultimately leading to the unnecessary destruction of tens of millions of dollars of property and untold civilian casualties. This study proposes that military leadership in firefighting and security efforts were culpable for the unnecessary loss of property and human life during the crisis, while the humanitarian and medical relief efforts were critical in the recovery of the city following the conflagration. The manuscript attempts to close the gap between civilian and military scholarship on this event and concludes with implications for Defense Support to Civil Authorities (DSCA) missions in the modern era"--

"Karl Mannheim's definition of social generations is used to analyze the current Peoples Liberation Army Navy's (PLAN) Officer Corps. Using a combination of existing quantitative and qualitative information, three social generations are distinguished based on the officer's approximate date of entry into the PLAN. Although this thesis is rooted in social science, several chapters are necessarily a selective historical survey of the PLAN focused upon those events that are expected to be impactful on their future mindset. Predictions of possible future trajectories or opinions of particular generations is omitted to reduce possible bias. A brief historical overview of the PLAN over the last century is also provided to establish context before analyzing the present PLAN"--Provided by publisher

"The current operational environment is characterized by the emergence of the information age and peer and near peer adversaries. The 2017 Field Manual (FM) 3-0, Operations addresses those paradigm shifts by introducing the multi-domain extended battlefield and four Army strategic roles-- shape, prevent, conduct large-scale ground combat, and consolidate gains. FM 3-0 officially implements consolidation of gains and the related consolidation area for the first time into US Army doctrine. The purpose of consolidation of gains is to make enduring any temporary operational success and set the conditions for a stable environment allowing for a transition of control to legitimate authorities. An analysis of the historical role the US Army played at the end of World War II for the transition in occupied Germany as well as of current doctrine and future-oriented concepts leads to eighteen suggested doctrinal changes concerning consolidation of gains across US Army operations, leadership, and mission command doctrine. Four of those suggested doctrinal changes are the introduction of a comprehensive multi-domain consolidation area, the emphasis of intent-guided procedural control, the codification of virtual and cognitive consolidation of gains, and the doctrinal recognition of the possible need for temporary military government"--
