Analysis Of The School-To-Work Transition Of Young Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorder, 2020 University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Analysis Of The School-To-Work Transition Of Young Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorder, Jessica Balistreri
Student Research
When immediately entering the labor market post-high school graduation, Transitional Age Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (TAY-ASD) face significant barriers to employment compared to both their disabled and non-disabled peers. With employment outcomes characterized by low wages, short work hours, and social isolation, TAY-ASD from low income households with lower levels of functioning face the greatest hardship in seeking employment after high school graduation. Current vocational rehabilitation (VR) programs show inefficiency in servicing individuals with the greatest need for assistance due to lack of program monitoring and little emphasis for post-secondary education (PSE) attainment. This study suggests that reform to …

Disintegrating The Enemy: The Pla’S Info-Messaging, 2020 US Army War College
Disintegrating The Enemy: The Pla’S Info-Messaging, Jacqueline N. Deal
The US Army War College Quarterly: Parameters
The DoD can exploit weaknesses in Chinese military attempts at political warfare, or “enemy disintegration,” most recently observed in PLA media on the subject of the pandemic. Targeted information efforts will signal the United States’ refusal to be intimidated, expose untruths in Chinese government messaging to its citizens, and reassure relevant third parties of US military resolve.
Technology And Strategic Surprise: Adapting To An Era Of Open Innovation, 2020 US Army War College
Technology And Strategic Surprise: Adapting To An Era Of Open Innovation, Audrey Kurth Cronin
The US Army War College Quarterly: Parameters
Technological revolutions affecting state power are either open or closed. The precursor to the digital age is not the twentieth century, with state-controlled programs yielding nuclear weapons, but the late nineteenth century, when tinkerers invented the radio, airplane, and high explosives—all crucial to subsequent wars. To avoid strategic surprise, the US government must take a broader view of how today’s open innovation is changing society and adapt.

The Us Army And The Pacific: Legacies And Challenges, David M. Finkelstein
The US Army War College Quarterly: Parameters
The Indo-Pacific will loom large in the future of the US Army. The region is increasingly important to myriad US national interests and is a major playing field for great-power competition.

Training Better Arab Armies, 2020 US Army War College
Training Better Arab Armies, Michael J. Eisenstadt, Kenneth M. Pollack
The US Army War College Quarterly: Parameters
US security force assistance missions to Arab partner states have had limited success, due in part to a tendency to impose American doctrine, which embodies American cultural values and norms, on Arab armed forces. Accordingly, US security force assistance missions should train Arab partners to fight in a manner better suited to their own cultural preferences and operational requirements.
The Covid-19 Enemy Is Still Advancing, 2020 US Army War College
The Covid-19 Enemy Is Still Advancing, Ryan J. Scott, Odelle J. Means, Patricia M. Shields
The US Army War College Quarterly: Parameters
The US military has a historical precedence for dealing with a pandemic while simultaneously conducting large-scale combat operations. Two twentieth-century examples assess the extent to which the military adapted operations following an influenza outbreak, and make clear military and civilian leaders must balance strategic objectives when facing threat multipliers such as COVID-19.
Two Worlds: African American Servicemembers, Wwii And Today, 2020 US Army War College
Two Worlds: African American Servicemembers, Wwii And Today, Douglas W. Bristol Jr.
The US Army War College Quarterly: Parameters
The theory of social stigma provides a context for the subjective experience of African American servicemembers in World War II. Those experiences reveal the paradox the military faces when addressing racial discrimination. An examination of these experiences suggests only a collective response by African American servicemembers will solve this problem.
Toward A Racially Inclusive Military, 2020 US Army War College
Toward A Racially Inclusive Military, Danelle R. Gamble
The US Army War College Quarterly: Parameters
Racialized structural inequalities and related social biases in US society and replicated in the military hinder diversity and inclusion efforts necessary to maintain a ready force. Examining the history of Blacks in the military through a social science lens helps explain this challenge and reveals the military must both promote relationships that challenge power imbalances and assess the impact of cultural imperialism on standards and evaluations.
