The author presents an analysis of a typical shipboard Damage Control (DC) organization, with emphasis placed on the general failure of the organization to cope with the variety generated by a Mass Conflagration. Two environmental scenarios, the Main Space Fire and the Mass Conflagration, are compared using an Environmental Analysis Framework. The organization is then discussed in terms of its applicable command and control characteristics, and how each of these contributes to the overall...

Combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq demonstrated that different types of military forces must be integrated to effectively counter evolving threats. Senior Army leaders have identified the need to retain the ability to effectively integrate conventional and special operations forces. Integration should not aim to combine forces to the point they are indistinguishable, but should maximize the effects of each forces unique capabilities. This thesis concludes that in the future, conventional...

This research looks at the issue of risk tolerance, and analyzes its role in U.S. Army Special Forces (SF). More specifically, it assesses the degree to which senior members of an organization allow junior members to make autonomous decisions, and argues that the unconventional warfare (UW) mission and nature of SF call for a higher degree of risk tolerance than is seen in conventional forces. A longitudinal case study of the conflict in Afghanistan shows that in 2001 SF had a long leash to...

The project explores and seeks to identify relationships among four trust antecedents, two organizational structures, and two performance outcomes. The results will help to further explain associations between trust level (high or low) and organizational structure. Past research found that the edge organization operating in a high trust environment produces the most accurate results in the least amount of time. Additionally, the research found that accuracy performance in the rigid hierarchy...

Current management theory finds that deeply held values provide a significant explanation for the behavior of professionals. Accordingly, this thesis illuminates the positive impact that the 1st Special Forces Regiment's ethical structure--the SF Ethic--has on the organization's effectiveness. The study describes the SF Ethic through the lens of the two major (opposing) normative ethical theories: consequentialism and non-consequentialism. It determines that the SF Ethic is a combination of...

This study analyzes two case studies, the US Armys adoption of counterinsurgency and the US Air Forces development of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). The level in the organizational structure at which differentiation of the new mission takes...
