The Status And Needs Of Small Businesses Owned And Controlled By Disabled Veterans, Paul R. Camacho
The Status And Needs Of Small Businesses Owned And Controlled By Disabled Veterans, Paul R. Camacho
William Joiner Institute for the Study of War and Social Consequences Publications
This introduction provides a thumbnail sketch, or landscape, of the history and conditions of veterans’ benefits against which to profile the issue of veterans’ small business opportunities. After years of applied research on issues pertaining to the veteran community, it has become abundantly clear to this researcher that the good people who serve in our federal and state agencies, and as staff persons in various congressional and state legislative offices often lack the data and/or information they need to fully and meaningfully address the needs of veterans and their families. This situation is no doubt a result of demographic facts. …

The Role Of Civil Affairs In Mine Action, Cisr Jmu
The Role Of Civil Affairs In Mine Action, Cisr Jmu
CISR Studies and Reports
The landmine threat to innocent civilians around the world is personally tragic, but it also represents a massive challenge to the development and infrastructure of nations at risk. Mine action is a series of activities which, taken together, attempt to ameliorate the effects of landmines. Mine action components include landmine clearance, mine awareness, and victim assistance and support activities. These diverse, and sometimes unrelated, operations are undertaken by numerous organizations, which are not typically under the control of any one organization. Coordination of effort, therefore is extremely difficult. The US government humanitarian demining program is predicated on providing limited support …
Kicking At The Closet Door: The Opinions, Attitudes, And Experiences Of Military Homosexuals, Rodney Lee Parks
Kicking At The Closet Door: The Opinions, Attitudes, And Experiences Of Military Homosexuals, Rodney Lee Parks
Sociology & Criminal Justice Theses & Dissertations
The purpose of this study is to investigate the opinions, attitudes, and experiences of active-duty homosexual/bisexual military servicemembers. Very little research currently exists on this topic because the sample population remains hidden among the ranks of their heterosexual counterparts for fear of discrimination, harassment, and physical violence. Using a snowball sampling technique, survey analysis was conducted to analyze the relationship among homosexual/bisexual military servicemembers and assess their experiences. Most homosexual men and women serve effectively in the military and are proud of their military performance. Although many homosexuals join the military to suppress their desires, the majority (70%) felt that …

Amphibious Warfare Since World War Ii, Samuel W. Bettwy
Amphibious Warfare Since World War Ii, Samuel W. Bettwy
Samuel W Bettwy
The development of amphibious warfare during World War II has changed the nature of warfare to the present day. In general, the development is significant because it has enabled a modern military organization to launch, or pretend to launch, a ground offensive from the sea against a shoreline, whether or not the shoreline is defended. During WWII, the United States' and the United Kingdom's advanced methods of amphibious warfare in the offense allowed them to establish a western war front, which led to decisive victory against Germany. Amphibious warfare in the defense significantly affected the United States' decision to use …
Trench Warfare Between 1776 And 1918, Samuel W. Bettwy
Trench Warfare Between 1776 And 1918, Samuel W. Bettwy
Samuel W Bettwy
In large part, the devastation of WWI on human life can be blamed on trench warfare and the failure of European military observers, especially the British and the French, to recognize the need to adapt offensive strategies. Several instances of trench warfare appeared from the eighteenth century until the advent of WWI, but the Europeans consistently discounted its significance. They regarded the use of trench warfare during the Revolutionary and Civil Wars in the United States to be an American phenomenon that was inapplicable to European strategies.
Comparing Outcomes Of Major Models Of Police Responses To Mental Health Emergencies, Randy Borum
Comparing Outcomes Of Major Models Of Police Responses To Mental Health Emergencies, Randy Borum
Randy Borum
OBJECTIVE: The study compared three models of police responses to incidents involving people thought to have mental illnesses to determine how often specialized professionals responded and how often they were able to resolve cases without arrest. METHODS: Three study sites representing distinct approaches to police handling of incidents involving persons with mental illness were examined-Birmingham, Alabama; and Knoxville and Memphis, Tennessee. At each site, records were examined for approximately 100 police dispatch calls for "emotionally disturbed persons" to examine the extent to which the specially trained professionals responded. To determine differences in case dispositions, records were also examined for 100 …

Developing A Parametric Cost Model For Operating Costs Of Army Ground Combat Weapon Systems, James O. Winbush Jr.
Developing A Parametric Cost Model For Operating Costs Of Army Ground Combat Weapon Systems, James O. Winbush Jr.
Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations
The purpose of this research was to develop a parametric cost model for predicting operating costs of Army ground combat weapon systems. The model is intended to be used during the first two phases of the Army's acquisition process. The research necessary to develop the model was guided by two questions: what weapon system characteristics (such as weight, horsepower, fuel consumption, primary mission, NBC protection, fire control and night fighting capability) impact directly on operating ground combat systems; and what is the form of the parametric model for operating costs for ground combat systems? The study extends the bounds of …
