The Homeland Security Act: Impact On State And Local Government
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. The Homeland Security Act – whose sole reason for existence is to "prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, reduce America's vulnerability to terrorism and minimize the damage and recover from any terrorist attacks" (Clark et al, 2003) – has had significant impact upon both the state and local levels, as well as both private and public sectors. Indeed, the extent to which the Homeland Security Act impacts these respective divisions is both grand and far-reaching; that certain agencies and their primary functions have been significantly modified as now being under the umbrella of the new Department of Homeland Security clearly illustrates the magnitude of change that both state and local governments have experienced.

[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page discussion of the relative importance of the world's naval forces. By World War II, in fact, the battleship had come to be regarded as the ultimate offensive weapon. During this time the theories of Clausewitz, a Prussian military strategist, were commonly employed by most of the major world players.

Some of the closest calls of World War II came as a result of the continued emphasis on the battle ship when technologically superior offensive weapons had evolved in the form of aircraft.

The Importance Of The Noncommissioned Officer Education System (NCOES) For Senior Noncommissioned Officers
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Knowledge is the backbone of effective application, and nowhere is this more apparent than within the military's stringent boundaries. Without proper and continuing education, soldiers and officers alike would become stagnant in their ability to tackle the vast array of challenges inherent to military existence. As such, one can readily understand the importance of the Noncommissioned Officer Education System (NCOES) for senior noncommissioned officers; even though the rank of senior noncommissioned officer reflects a sense of expertise and knowledge in and of itself, it is relatively easy for one to argue that no individual is exempt from furthering one's enlightenment no matter how experienced he or she happens to be.
