Abstract
This essay examines the roles played by women in the military and gender stratification. The author discusses three Supreme Court cases that strengthened the ongoing argument that females should be allowed into military positions of active combat. The paper also looks at the story of Major Rhonda Cornum, taken captive in the Black Hawk incident.

From the Paper
"As the world enters the twenty-first century, the question of gender stratification and exclusion in military ground combat situations continues to be the center of much disagreement and debate. Female citizens should by all means be guaranteed the same opportunities for advancement and individual freedom of choice that are given their male counterparts. The obtainment of these opportunities and freedoms should not, however, come at the expense or sacrifice of all aspects of the time-honored relationships and boundaries that have conventionally existed between the sexes, one of which is the battlefield."

This is a study of the reasons why the force readiness of the U.S. Military was inadequate just prior to hostilities in Operation Just Cause and Desert Storm. It studies the role of the NCO in training front-line troops in each combat operation and the way in which analytical tools can be used to provide independent assessment of how effective those units were.

Abstract
The paper examines how Mark Mabrito's article "Writing on the Front Line: A Study of Workplace Writing" discusses the need for supervisors who do not have a college education to do an increasing amount of business writing in today's technological work environment. The writer discusses how Mabrito identified challenges that supervisors are facing, indicating a need for them to receive more training in writing. The writer argues that this is a useful article, given that it is topical, highlights a serious problem and that it signposts ways to deal with the problem.

From the Paper
"Mabrito addresses four primary research questions, which he expresses clearly at the beginning of the article. These four questions are essentially when, what, why, and what are the challenges. In other words, how frequently do supervisors write, what kinds of documents do they write, what is the purpose or function of these documents, and what challenges do they report in carrying out these writing functions?"
"To answer these questions, Mabrito utilized a questionnaire, interviews, and an analysis of 246 documents, in order to gain information from 60 supervisors in similar jobs. He reports that most supervisors write for between eight and 14 hours a week; and that most of them have little or no training for writing. He also reports on the kinds of writing these supervisors do, dividing this into two categories: downward and upward communication, depending on whether the supervisor is writing to superiors or subordinates. He also subdivides these two categories into further categories, such as memos, grievance reports, and incident reports. In this way, he anchors his research firmly to the practical realties of the work place."

Abstract
This paper provides a discussion of army medics or military/combat medics who serve in armored divisions. The discussion includes a definition of a military medic, the training endured by military medics, and the nature of their roles to fellow troops on the front lines.

From the Paper
"A combat or military medic serving in an armored division is a trained soldier responsible for providing first aid and frontline trauma care on the battlefield. Military medics also provide ongoing medical care for soldiers in the absence of a physician from treating non-battle injuries to fighting disease. Military medics go through a rigorous -week training program that is designed to put them on the same level of skill as a second-year medical resident. Military medics serving in armor divisions purposefully..."

This paper looks at the content of the article as well as the underlying assumptions about culture, race and identity that define the article's representations of the issues involved.

Abstract
This paper probes the history of the 99th Fighter Squadron, created in 1941. This writer of this essay discusses the racism experienced by the entirely African-American squadron, in which the men were segregated from the white pilots on the base and had to deal with separate barracks, toilets and even drinking fountains. This paper reviews the squadron's involvement in WWII and shows how during the Battle of the Bulge, African-American soldiers finally had the chance to prove their might. While race lines had become fuzzy as the harsh reality of war began to set in, the writer explains how the military dealt with racism, which resulted in General Eisenhower desegregating the army, in 1944, so that black soldiers were placed within existing units on the extremely volatile front.

From the Paper
"Ultimately, the military's approach to its black soldiers in World War II can be summarized by an editorial in the News Leader, a prominent Southern newspaper, which stated first that "Negro soldiers...must be treated as fellow soldiers and not as vassals or as racial inferiors," but which added the stipulation that "this does not mean that either whites or Negroes are at their best in the same company, the same branch, the same mess." [27] Despite countless acts of courage and sacrifice - many of which have gone unrecognized by the media then and now - the African American soldier was not officially segregated into the US military until after the Korean War."

Abstract
This paper explains that organizational communication is composed of information from top management down to subordinates, feedback from employees, cross-organizational communication, where all departments unite as a service provider and one-on-one everyday interpersonal communication. The author points out that internal communication ensures that all employees are familiar with the vision, mission and operation of the organization; whereas, external communication tells the clients about the products of the company. The paper stresses that management must develop an attitude of trust and respect in their workplace by setting a good example, behaving consistently, understanding the background of their employees and creating an environment of openness.

From the Paper
"Communication also is a two-way process or dialogue that involves the sender relaying a message, through a communication medium or channel, to the receiver of the message. Two parties are attempts to share meanings and relate to them in the same manner; in this way communication will be successful. The end result of communication is that it must bring out a response and change behavior. The most important factor is for the sender to communicate his/her ideas clearly and for the receiver to listen with understanding. Communication in an organization is a critical success factor. It is like glue that keeps every organization stick together, so to have a better organization, proper communication must be exercise."
