Candidate Peduto Case

Candidate Carpenter briefed a good five paragraph order. SNC briefed a good initial plan prior to starting the execution phase of the problem. SNC posted security prior to briefing showing his ability to operate in a tactical environment, SNC checked in with security for the remainder of the problem. SNC initially sent two candidates on top of the wall to gain reconnaissance of the area beyond the wall. SNC quickly realized the problem with this and had himself assisted up on top of the wall in order for himself to assess the situation. SNC quickly made a decision on what to do next and has a candidate go down the other side of the wall. From there SNC was in constant communication with the candidate and assisted the candidate into position

Candidate Horton showed a firm grasp of the OSMEAC format and briefed a solid five paragraph order with confidence. The information he briefed was accurate based off the information provided to him by the evaluator.

SNC's tasking statements contained purpose, showing he put some thought into how each member could be utilized to meet the objective and accomplish the mission.

Candidate Trapane was very confident, fluid, and natural when briefing his order. However, his order omitted a major paragraphed or failed to explain subparagraphs. For example, while briefing medical evacuations SNC stated, "If you get injured let us know and we will take care of it." Prior to execution, SNC posted security and ensured they routinely gave situation reports. SNC looked at the obstacle to gain intelligance prior to devisining an inital plan. During points of friction, SNC was able to make a decision. However, he was not in the most advantageous spot to communicate and observe his fireteam. Consequently, his decisions were delayed and based off of information that was inaccurate. SNC allowed his fire team members to make

It is very concerning that Scott Pruitt is the leader of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for quite a few reasons. How can Trump elect a leader who had and probably still has close relationships to the industry that he is now in charge of regulating? There seems to be a conflict of interest there. Will he truly regulate the oil industry or will there be exceptions to some? As a District Attorney in Oklahoma he used language written by the oil industry lobbyists protesting the actions of the EPA under President Obama’s administration. He also sued the EPA 14 times. His views do not correlate with the EPA so how is it possible that this man lead this organization. He does not have the same vision of protecting the environment

This case shows how hard it is for two people to work together for a common goal and vision when they are not on the same page; if Scott trusted and had confidence in Peterson they could succeed as a team

Candidate Hoeptner briefed all major elements of the five paragraph order and managed to speak in an articulate manner; however, the content of his brief clearly lacked any executable plan and made little sense. SNC failed to address security, degrading his team's attention to the tactical environment. SNC failed to understand the contents of higher’s coordinating instructions and failed to comprehend the mission based on the problem presented and the obstacle in front of him. SNC’s inability to conceptualize relevant, applicable, and actionable plans and orders was only exacerbated by his inability to understand simple concepts presented to him. SNC made no attempt to formulate a plan prior to execution and adjustments to the plan he tried

Candidate MaCleish demonstrated an understanding of the order process by presenting an order with a detailed scheme of maneuver and tasking statements for each team member to easily follow. SNC maintained a tactical awareness by posting security. Once the mission began, SNC realized his initial plan wasn’t going to work and everything started to slow down. At this point of friction, SNC hesitated to develop a new plan of action. . As the team waited for SNC to make a decision the fire teams forward movement was halted. There was little communication between SNC and his fire team, resulting in SNC failing to utilize his subordinates effectively. . Even through the many frictions points SNC was able to remain calm and maintained control of his

Candidate mullins delivered his five paragraph order with minor errors. SNC established security prior to the start of his brief. Before delivering his order it was evident that SNC possessed a strong command presence. SNC’s tasks were unclear, and were displayed through the confusion amongst his fire team during the execution. SNC failed to properly brief his Coordinating Instructions, this caused questions to arise during the execution. Candidates were confused about what they could or could not utilize during the execution. SNC was not confident and was aware that he missed pertinent information, because he would pause during his brief attempting to account for the information he missed but could not gather his thoughts. During the execution

SNC issued a complete five paragraph order and unsure all subordinates understood. SNC communicated in a low volume voice which did not display confidence while briefing the orders. The content of the order that SNC briefed made sense. SNC did develop an initial plan prior to starting the execution. SNC failed to consider all of the challenges that the obstacles had prior to the execution as a result put the fire team in harm’s way as members of the fire team dropped the 55 gallon which almost hit the fire team leader. SNC relied solely on suggestions from his subordinates. SNC also depended on his fire team to help with the adjustments to the initial plan.

Janice was confronted with problems where she had to make choices on how solve them. The first one concerned Mrs. Wemberly, s/p colon resection who was requesting for attention. Instead of sending Nurse Mark to see the patient, she decided to check on her which actually led to a better outcome after her talk with the patient. This particular instance showed that Janice prioritized and valued her patient first over the schedule meeting with the VP. If Janice didn’t

Furthermore, the Sheriff used an autocratic style of leadership during the initiation of the task to be performed by giving direct orders towards his Deputies. However, he then switched his approach to Democratic leadership style when all three Deputies questioned their tasking. The Sheriff has allowed his Deputies to vote regarding as to what type of action to take. In my opinion, during this type of critical situation, the Sheriff should have stay firmed on his decision because any delay on response is critical and possible lives could be lost. Further, he should have maintained better control of the situation by dictating and controlling all the decision with little feedbacks from the team. Moreover, although the Sheriff was overwhelmed

Candidate Weems delivered a complete and confident order but added information that had nothing to do with the briefed scenario (i.e. he added information about a "convoy"). He also skipped around the order, adding different pieces where they did not belong. Candidate Weems overcame a difficult leadership challenge early when his subordinates didn’t believe that his initial plan would work. He forced the plan to work by injecting himself into details, but then never let go of that detail. It also became evident that because he was correct about a difficult idea once, he wanted to attempt to force his way through the rest of his ideas. This caused him to lose situational awareness of the overall mission. This was evident when he decided to

Candidate Jang’s inflection in his voice appeared to cause serious confusion in his team members and a lack of understanding of his order. The Orientation only included what the objective of the problem was and not any form of direction of attack or objective location either. The Situation paragraph was very thorough and detailed and contact more information than the instructor had briefed in his order. The Mission statement included no in order to, was not read twice, and was a general plan of what they were going to accomplish. SNC had also failed to brief a scheme of maneuver and his tasking statements were only what billet each fire team member was going to be with no direction or delegation given. SNC was the only one working to accomplish

SNC delivered four of the five paragraphs when briefing his team. Command and Signal was omitted by topic and content. SNC was confident in his delivery of the brief utilizing good volume and eye contact with this team. SNC did have an initial plan that was able to be executed and moved his team into action quickly. The initial plan did not account for getting down from the obstacle. SNC lost some control during the execution of the plan. He directed a team member to post security which went ignored and he did not correct. At the initial point of friction SNC was unable to make a change to his plan at which time another candidate took the initiative to navigate his way to the top. SNC was unable to modify his initial course of action to continue
