Soldiers In An All Volunteer Force, Joshua Aaron Webster
Soldiers In An All Volunteer Force, Joshua Aaron Webster
Masters Theses, 2010-2019
This work focuses on several themes that deal with the idea of motivation in the military. The primary focus is to view the soldiers in the “all volunteer” force in order to examine their sources of motivation. The majority of sources came from interviews conducted with active duty, reservist, and retired soldiers who were deployed to Iraq and/or Afghanistan. The work examines how the evolution of the “all volunteer” force has changed since its inception in 1973, primarily focusing on the soldiers who were involved in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. There are several reasons for why a citizen …

Mine Action In Azerbaijan, Sayed Aqa, Josef Strebel
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
Since April 2, 1999, the Azerbaijan National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA) has sought to establish a mine/UXO impact free Azerbaijan by addressing the landmine problem in currently accessible areas and building a national capacity to meet the challenges of mines and UXO in areas that will become accessible once a peace agreement is finally negotiated.
Ukrainian Mine Action, Sergio Pashinsky
Ukrainian Mine Action, Sergio Pashinsky
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
There is no doubt that the Ukraine is a mine and UXO affected country. This fact is well known but still not recognized by the international mine action community. Perhaps the biggest issue is that the Ukrainian government has not acknowledged this national challenge, and consequently, international assistance has not been given.
National Mine Action: Problems And Predictions, Vernon Joynt
National Mine Action: Problems And Predictions, Vernon Joynt
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
I recently received an e-mail with real good bait on the line so I would commit to sticking my neck in the noose once more. The questions included: Will technology ever improve speed and safety in Humanitarian Demining (HD)? What is the comparative efficiency among commercial, military and NGO clearance? Will dogs be more or less integrated into HD programs? When will land use priorities determine clearance priorities? Is "donor fatigue" a reality? If so, how do we fix it? These questions are right in the middle of my current pet struggle to give technology its rightful role and place …

The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
For about five years now, it has been accepted wisdom that the national mine action centers (MAC) are the critical nodes of humanitarian demining activity. MACs are at the virtual cross roads of mine action, with policy "coming down" and tactical results "going up." MAC managers are asked to implement standards, evaluate clearance techniques and equipment, integrate the various components of mine action (marking and monitoring, clearance, mine risk education, victim assistance), help prioritize programs and activities, answer to donors, report to the host government, provide information to the UN, master GIS systems, fill empty data bases, develop the perfect …
