    Lessons learned by the Army in changing how it meets energy needs on the battlefield can well inform how energy solutions are brought to rural areas around the world.The high human cost of delivering energy on the battlefield led the Army to reexamine its assumptions about how energy is provided and used.Changing the way they framed the problem led to better energy solutions, saved lives, and made the missions more resilient.The resilience paradigm is also well suited to rural energy…

  • Preparing the Strategic Sergeant for War in a Flat World: Challenges in the Application of Ethics and the Rules of Engagement (ROE) in Joint/Multinational/Multicultural Operations

    National Defense University

    The strategic impact of decisions made, and actions taken, by junior leaders in Iraq and Afghanistan are well documented. In light of these impacts senior leaders continue to struggle with strategic communications and training required to insure Soldiers on today's battlefield share a common set of values and understand how to apply them in combat. Junior leaders are faced with increasing conflict between the moral standards of multi-cultural operations and a litany of guidance that is not easy…

    The strategic impact of decisions made, and actions taken, by junior leaders in Iraq and Afghanistan are well documented. In light of these impacts senior leaders continue to struggle with strategic communications and training required to insure Soldiers on today's battlefield share a common set of values and understand how to apply them in combat. Junior leaders are faced with increasing conflict between the moral standards of multi-cultural operations and a litany of guidance that is not easy to assimilate or understand. The answer to the research question Does the US Military insure the Strategic Sergeant is prepared to make value based ethical and moral decisions in a joint, multi-national and multi-cultural environment? is a resounding somewhat. The research documented in this thesis clearly shows the military has a system and a keen interest in improving how they train Strategic Sergeants to correctly determine what they should do as well as what they can do in combat. In this light, leaders throughout the Department of Defense must continue to improve the clarity of the Laws of War, the regulations that govern military actions in combat, and the training provided to the Strategic Sergeant who faces the ambiguity of combat in front of a global audience.
