I Advice - Joint and Combined Military Operations
In these days of takeovers and mergers, of downsizings and lean management, chances are that you are going to be caught in a job upheaval at least once in your career. Probably more than once!Change in the wind may come like an invigorating breeze on a hot humid night. For instance, your boss is promoted to a new job and you have to get used to reporting to someone new, w
As is typical, it often falls to the senior NCO’s to handle the messy details. Senior NCOs gather together to identify and solve issues. They will then pass this result down their respective chains of command so everyone will know what to do.
The issue is far more complex when other nations are involved. Issues start big and only grow. It can be something taken for granted like the ability of radios to transmit on the same freq
If you are looking to buy a new home, try to find a home that will have a good resale value down the road. This concept applies to first time home buyers who are just looking for a “first home” as well as home buyers who plan on living in the home for the rest of their lives. It is important for both types of home buyers to have an exit strategy so that if you for some reason nee
In milspeak, joint refers to having members from more than one service: Army and Marines, Soldiers and Sailors or some other combination. Combined speaks of having members from more than one nation, such as US and Canadian soldiers. Joint and Combined are both possible at once and are quite common in contingency operations around the world, from anti-terror missions to disaster relief efforts.
Naturally, this is a complicating factor. There is an old military joke. Each service is tasked with securing a building. The Army locks the doors at night. The Navy sweeps, mops, buffs the floors and empties the wastebaskets. The Air Force buys the building, the land and all associated rights. The Marines dig in fighting positions, set up weapons with interlocking fields of fire and begins construction of obstacles. There is more than a touch of truth to this. Each service has their own way of doing things and when they find themselves working together, each serviceman thrust into this situation has lessons to learn about what does and doesn’t make sense.
Some is obvious. Soldiers will tend to call any sergeant, whether a staff sergeant, master sergeant or some other type, “Sergeant.” Marines refuse to do this and will always use the full title. Marines who have never encountered this before have been known to get annoyed at this lack of respect.
There are attempts to solve this issue using traditional DoD methods. This means producing manuals that define words, as each service understands them and lessons on inter-service operations.
In practice, practice works best. When Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors and Marines work together they learn how each other service behaves and how they expect things to be done. This can be as simple as gathering up bodies to pick up trash on the road to as complex as how each service goes about getting their junior enlisted men promoted.

Customers...NO!We were visiting in Gisborne, an attractive small town near Melbourne, Australia.Walking along the main street I saw a small clothing store with a very bold sign pasted on the door directly above the doorknob. It read:CUSTOMERS NO… jam donuts, sticky buns, fizzy drinks, mucky boots, cigarettes, ice creams, gooey lollies, water pistols, fairy

I have been doing Yellow Page design for the past 15 years. I have been fully submerged in the medium. Even as I sit here writing this article I have various Yellow Page directories from all over the US stacked on my desk.It’s an art form, I tell you. Few comprehend its power. Few understand the subtle blend of art and science that combines to create the successful eir own way of doing things and when they find themselves working together, each serviceman thrust into this situation has lessons to learn about what does and doesn’t make sense.

Getting commercial real estate loans approved is almost always complex and frequently difficult. Business borrowers need to realize that there are several commercial mortgage loan situations which can be especially difficult to get approved. Examples of eight difficult business loan situations are described to illustrate two key points: (1) these difficulties are not uncommon; and

The sense of control is a powerful and essential element in the effectiveness of any worker. Dealing with all the variables in any communication process leaves many call and contact agents with a feeling that they are merely responders and do not have control over the process or its outcome. This is a common feeling among all service workers but is especially evident in arenas wh

The issue is far more complex when other nations are involved. Issues start big and only grow. It can be something taken for granted like the ability of radios to transmit on the same frequencies or the availability of sufficient translators. The problems of multiple translations, where military technical jargon is translated into one language, so one interpreter can talk to the other, who then translates into a third language for the other military force can only be imagined to those who haven’t experienced it. Again, the only real solution is exposure and training. Determining something as simple as when to salute someone whose rank you can’t identify can be quite a challenge in a multinational operation, but on the other hand, occasionally you can get access to an Italian dining facility.
