Abstract
The military has the monopoly of force and is the most organized
sector of a state's employees. The chance of a coup and subsequently a
military government is far more likely if the country is suffering
from internal strife and this has been the pattern for many developing
and post colonial nations. This paper attempts to prove this by using three examples of military governments after 1945, Egypt, Spain and Brazil.
From the Paper
"In order to understand the underlying problems in the countries in which the military took over and formed a new government it is important to briefly outline the conditions that allowed them to take power and how they did this. This will give an insight into what tasks faced the new military regimes. In Egypt the take over was led by General Nasser who was leader of the Free Officers Movement. This movement was dedicated to overthrowing the British backed King Farouk. In July 1952 Nasser led the military coup against Farouk."

Abstract
The paper examines the recent spread of computer usage violations in the government and the military, especially surfing prohibited sites. The paper looks at the resulting punitive measures and the wide range of punishments available. It also cites the relevant sections of the military and federal codes that covers prohibitions of this nature.
From the Paper
"The US Military and Government prohibits the unauthorized use of Government Unclassified/OSIS computers to surf prohibited sites, such as those containing sexually explicit material that may be deemed pornography. Typically the government randomly selects computers or users to monitor to maintain this law. However unauthorized use of computers is a problem within the government and military at large, at least as much of a problem as unauthorized computer use is for any employer in society. Federal employees who violate this prohibition are subject to a wide range of disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. There are several policies currently in set as law and statute by the federal government that strictly prohibit the unauthorized use of government computers. Military personnel who use official computers to access prohibited sites are also subject to a wide range of disciplinary action, including court Marshall under the Uniform Code of Military Justice."

Diversity For Women in the Workplace, Government and Military, 2002.
A look at the obstacles affecting the careers of women in business, government and the military in decision-making roles.

Abstract
This paper is an examination of the historical involvement of women in business, government, and the military in decision-making roles. It looks at each of these sections to demonstrate how stereotypes and continued gender-based expectations are getting in the way of women's careers in these areas. Though diversity in all of these roles has certainly increased over time, it still remains that women are expected to "act like women", which in essence cripples their ability to achieve an equality of success along side their male counterparts.

Abstract
This paper looks at the disciplinary actions available to the U.S. Government and the U.S. Military when federal employees or military personnel violate rules regarding authorized use of computers. The internet is cited as a major factor that encourages and enables the unauthorized use of computers. Two major military cases regarding the abuse of military computers are discussed and federal laws on computer crimes are explained.
From the Paper
"The US Military and Government prohibits the unauthorized use of Government Unclassified/OSIS computers to surf prohibited sites, such as those containing sexually explicit material that may be deemed pornography. Typically the government randomly selects computers or users to monitor to maintain this law. However unauthorized use of computers is a problem within the government and military at large, at least as much of a problem as unauthorized computer use is for any employer in society. Federal employees who violate this prohibition are subject to a wide range of disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal."

From the Paper
"Enlisted members of the United States Armed Forces have, just within the last year, been given a new vehicle through which to invest their retirement money--the government Thrift Savings Plan, or TSP. Available to civilian federal employees for years past, the TSP works much like a 401(k) plan works in the private sector, offering "military members the potential to supplement military retirement significantly and also reduce current taxes by contributing from pre-tax dollars and watching tax-deferred earnings accumulate" (Air Force News Archive, 2002, n.p.). The current limit on annual contributions for service members is capped at seven percent of a member's base pay, but that limit is expected to increase to ten percent by the year 2005 (Air Force News Service, 2002)."

Abstract
This paper is a literature review to study the relationship between the Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA), Department of Defense (DoD) Military Health System (MHS), and civilian health care providers in the area of policy and utilization of management and information technology tools, which currently are adversely affecting the care of active duty military, their families and veterans. The author concludes that the governmental use of Lean and Six Sigma, specifically in the VA, MHS and DoD programs relating to healthcare provision for service members and beneficiaries has greatly expanded the capacity of these organizations to provide the required healthcare. The paper stresses that the management programs of Lean and Six Sigma offer potentials for cost savings, quality service provision and the elimination of waste in these organizations. Includes figures and tables.

Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the area of improvement of efficiencies and cost-effectiveness of the military health care procurement system findings relate that that DoD obligations for medical services contracts was $1.6 billion in 1996, and that by the year 2005 this obligation had risen to $8 billion - or an increase of 412 percent. The cause for this growth in spending for service acquisition while is part attributed to recent trends and changes which includes downsizing in the civilian workforce as well as outsourcing and TRICARE benefits expansion along with attempting to meet new requirements as well as new demands."

Abstract
This paper discusses the military's use of film as a propaganda tool. The films that examined in the paper are "Battlefield" and "The Manchurian Candidate". Other topics discussed include the Cold War and the use of ideology.
From the Paper
"Depictions of the US Military in film have varied considerably over the years. Some films portray the US Military as a negative force that is being used to repress the average citizen. Others portray the US Military in a very positive light by suggesting that they are the average citizen's last defense against hostile nations. Although both depictions can be found in films from any year there are definitely patterns in the proportions of the depictions. In certain time periods the negative depictions of the US Military will outnumber the positive ones. In other time periods the positive depictions..."

Contents:
Introduction
Efficiency in Increased Military Spending
Equality in Increased Military Spending
Liberty and Increased Military Spending
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In today?s society, military spending is on the minds of American citizens more than ever. With the constant threat of terrorism and imminent war on the horizon, the United States government is spending billions of dollars on drastic measures to fight a large-scale war as well as to continue to combat terrorism. Critics against increased military spending argue that the funds set aside for such defense measures could be better utilized in other areas that directly affect Americans, including education, healthcare, and economic stimulus packages. However, supporters of increased military defense spending argue that such expenses are critical for the United States to reassure Americans in their fears concerning terrorism and other threats against the homeland."

Illegal Drugs Usage in the Military, 2006.
A discussion of the use of drugs in the U.S. military.
960 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 4 sources, MLA, AU$ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines drug usage in the United States military and some of the steps the military is taking to combat drugs. The paper explains that drug usage in the military is beginning to rise again and the military is attempting to combat illegal drug usage in a variety of ways. The paper then points out that the military seems to be sending the wrong message by reducing waiting times for drug tests and may be adding to the problem with these new policies. The paper also looks at how the U.S. military continues to pursue illegal drug use among its members by testing before and after enlistment and making it clear that the military has a "zero-tolerance" stand on drug abuse. The paper suggests that many soldiers do not need zero-tolerance, they need help and understanding to break their addiction.
From the Paper
"Drug use in the military is not new. World War II veterans remember taking methamphetamines to stay awake during combat, and marijuana usage was quite common during the Vietnam War. However, today the U.S. military frowns on illegal drug use, and they have taken several steps to make sure that military personnel do not take illegal drugs. Before enlistment, recruits must pass a drug test, and there is random drug testing throughout the military after enlistment. In fact, "the military randomly tests about 10 percent of personnel each month" ("Drug Use"). Unfortunately, there is still an illegal drug problem in the military, and personnel who test positive for drugs can face discharge."

Abstract
This paper examines three military situations: the German air campaign in Malta, the United States air campaign in Vietnam and the British campaign in the Falkland Islands. The paper presents details of each of these military operations and clearly shows that military doctrine is more of a deciding factor in victory than equipment.
Outline
German Air Campaign in Malta
United States Air Campaign in Vietnam
British Campaign in the Falkland Islands
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Italy declared war on the allies on June 10, 1940 and the next day saw the first air attacks on Malta. Over the next three years, no month would pass without some type of air attack. On June 12th the RAF responded with attacks on Italy from planes based on the island. With the fall of France in July 1940, Italy assumed a dominant role in the central Mediterranean. The situation for the allies in the western Mediterranean along the shipping lanes between Gibraltar and Malta became particularly tenuous with the loss of Algeria and Tunis. Because of its strategic location as a base for aircraft and naval units, in August the decision was made to reinforce Malta, in what became the first of many reinforcement and resupply efforts. Forces based on Malta were in the perfect position to raid German freighters and air transports heading south to supply Rommel and the Afrika Korps in North Africa. The remainder of 1940 saw continued sparring between the British and Italians over Malta. The German Luftwaffe has yet to arrive."

Abstract
This paper explores the growing cocaine and marijuana market in Latin American countries and the lack of local resources available to prevent this valuable and profitable industry from expanding even more. The writer of this paper details the U.S. military's role in aiding these countries, as well as the cost to the American people, while pondering if the American military should even be involved in drug related issues outside the U.S. The cost for the military intervention in the war on drugs continues to rise and has created entirely new perceptions about money and the military both within and outside the U.S. This paper discusses the military involvement in the war on drugs and cites the leading recipients of aid, military equipment, training and personnel. This paper also delves into a program, involving military participation, which was recently introduced in Congress, called the Western Hemisphere Drug Elimination Act. This act would authorized $2.3 billion over three years for military hardware, personnel, training and a small amount for alternative crop development in various Latin American countries.
From the Paper
"Even though the House and various representatives have called on military action, the Pentagon was reluctant- albeit, it finally was dragged into it. Even though the Pentagon budget continues to grow, year after year, there are still concerns that legislators who dole out the tens of millions of dollars are underestimating the total cost. In a recent report to the House and Senate armed services committees, the Department of Defense estimated that "24-hour surveillance of the U.S. 'southern fence', the border from Jacksonville, Florida, to San Diego, full interdiction capability, and C13 programs, would cost between $480.4 million and $760.5 million annually, depending on the equipment mix ." All this money without a single soldier leaving the continental U.S.- even though advisers may now be operating in the various targeted Latin American countries. All that has been publicized, and strongly so, are planes and equipment, everything from helicopters to flame throwers which are supposed to be used by the local troops."

Women in the Military, 2006.
An analysis of the changing public and private attitudes toward women in the military.
1,150 words (approx. 4.6 pages), 5 sources, APA, AU$ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper studies how military brass and the rank and file are changing their views about women serving in active duty. Specifically, the paper examines how sexual assault and rape of women in the military has compromised not only the women, but the military as a whole. The author addresses measures by the military to address this issue, and conducts a discussion of the success of these initiatives. Then the author looks at the impact on military morale of these crimes -- and the increasing public attention paid to them -- as well as steps to improve the mood in the military.
From the Paper
"Traditional views of women in the military are that they stayed in the rear with the gear. Women served as nurses, cooks, and secretaries. This all changed when the military started allowing women to attend West Point, the Citadel, and other military academies which were previously the domain of men only. Women face a variety of problems overcoming sexist attitudes towards their roles in the military, verbal abuse and taunting, and rape. However, several recent trends including women's roles in the Gulf War, a museum in Texas, a memorial in Washington D. C., and soon to be released books and films about the history of women in the military, demonstrate a change in attitude towards women warriors."

The UK's View of Hiring Private Military Companies
View From the Crown of Private Military Companies
PMCs - The Role of Private Military Companies
Determinants of PMC Growth
Market Force A Determinant
Geneva Guidelines on Defense Budgeting
UK Guidelines for Defense Reforms
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Historically, private contractors and others provided transportation and engineering needs as early as the American Revolution. In 1798 Congress passed legislation that served as guidelines for procurements of the military and the contracts were won through a bidding process with restrictions. New technologies created a demand for the private military companies as time went on. Kidwell states that: "Two overarching themes currently characterize the military management field - the process of rationalization and cyclical patterns of readiness. Rationalization refers to centralized planning (generally at a high DOD level) and systematic application of business management techniques." (nd) Cyclical patterns of readiness, according to Kidwell, refers to "the tendency- first noted by Emory Upton in the 19th century - of the US to demobilize and deemphasize military expenditures and modernization until the next conflict begins and the demand for military power is immediate. Upton referred to this phenomenon as 'chronic unpreparedness although the process more closely resembles a continuing cycle." (nd) The PMCs offer a "full range of provider, consultant, and support functions in OIF and OEF." (Kidwell, nd) DynCorp is a service company operating in 15 different industries. "

Homosexuality in the U.S. Military, 2005.
Examines the policies toward homosexuals in the United States military.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Beginning with the discharge of Gotthold Fredrick Enslin from the U.S. military in 1778, this paper examines the history of homosexuality, which has emerged as one of the most salient issues within the U.S. military, as harassment, abuse, expulsion, and, in rare cases, murder, have become prevalent practices towards homosexuals. The paper examines the policies of the American government towards banning homosexuals from the military and Bill Clinton's 1993 law, which repudiated the ban that has enabled the U.S. military the legal right to exclude homosexuals from military service. The paper also looks at the issue of modesty and the the opinion of those who who feel that heterosexual soldiers might become sexual objects for homosexual soldiers if they were admitted into the military.
From the Paper
"While the military's policy necessitates that gay men remain reticent of their sexual orientation, Professor Aaron Belkin affirms that if the ban were to be lifted, very few gays would actually come out of the closet because in most cases an openly gay individual would find himself in a rather precarious situation. The malicious nature of fellow service-members is a consequence of our society's unfamiliarity with homosexuality, consequently creating a propensity for many soldiers to make presumptions based on little information. Moreover, the policy of preserving the modesty of heterosexual men is based on the prudishness of American society and more importantly a naive conviction that homosexual attraction is congruent to heterosexual attraction."

Abstract
This study examines the relationship between U.S. military success and the acquisition of airstrips in enemy territory. It puts forward that argument that U.S. military forces have the ability to successfully accomplish any mission when provided with access and control of foreign airfields. Successful military operations are dependent upon reliable air delivery technologies and airfield infrastructures. These infrastructures provide the communications support and manpower necessary to promote success in any climate. The study focuses on the ability of the U.S. military to project itself to any theater of war from any aircraft carrier. It also details the importance of securing military airstrips to enable deployment of additional troops and supplies. It links past military successes with such efforts.

From the Paper
"In most cases airfields are developed near cities, which may provide key strategic locality for military personnel. The acquisition of airfields in the past has often meant the difference between success and failure. Oftentimes, air force personnel have no method of relief other than provided through air transportation. Supplies and personnel can be delivered thanks to modern technologies. Military strategic objectives revolve around the ability of personnel to seize or gain access to key installations. Operatives are no longer reliant upon the capability of ships. The center of gravity for military success has definitely become military airstrips. The recent military success in Afghanistan further supports the idea that the U.S. military dominates in the arena of airpower, and can adapt their operations to accommodate an airfield whether it is fully equipped or unprepared."
