Hand to Hand Combatives in the US Army
The Modern Army Combatives Program was adopted by the U.S. Army in 2000. The program is the culmination of a directive by the Commander of 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment in 1995 to improve the Army's older and unused combatives program. Modern Army Combatives is a ground based fighting system that teaches soldiers to close the gap between him or herself, gain dominance and finishes the fight. The program's roots are in Brazilian Jujitsu, but is this the right program for the average soldier on today's battlefield? The attempt to answer this question was conducted by first analyzing the Army's program, then examining the Marine Corps, the Air Forces, the Russian military, the Israeli military, and the Korean military programs. Each forces program was then compared to Modern Army Combatives. In order to support the thesis of this paper, surveys and interviews from various organizations within the Army were conducted and in-depth interviews with martial arts experts from outside the military were used to provide a greater depth to the research. The current program has set the stage very well for the Army's hand-to-hand training, but through the half a dozen changes recommend in the thesis it can only get better.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Physical Training Programs in Light Infantry Units
This thesis studies whether light infantry physical training (PT) programs include the combat focus necessary to prepare soldiers for the rigors of combat. United States Army physical training doctrine stresses the development of PT programs that enhance military skills essential to effective combat and duty performance. Programs must integrate the interactive components of strength, mobility, and endurance. Unit mission essential task lists (METLs) provide a finite number of wartime tasks. Examination of light infantry METLs, plus identification of supporting platoon and individual tasks, revealed the physically demanding tasks an infantryman performs on the battlefield. These were then analyzed to determine the demand required regarding the physical readiness components. Surveys determined the frequency and types of tasks executed during unit physical training PT. Those tasks executed most routinely in units were analyzed to determine their physical readiness component demands. This facilitated comparison between light infantry combat tasks and tasks present in unit PT programs. Results indicate that although strength and endurance are integral parts of light infantry PT programs, mobility is almost nonexistent. This critical component is the functional application of strength and endurance. Its omission from unit programs is a glaring weakness in preparing soldiers for the fluid and complex combat environment.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Men in White
An inspiring tale of teamwork and grit, Men in White tells the story of the student athletes who launched one of the greatest comebacks in sports history, rescuing a college football program gutted by scandal with a thrilling championship run. Men in White chronicles every twist in this epic drama in the words of the young men who chose to stay and rebuild the Penn State football program in the tumultuous days, months, and years that followed the Sandusky scandal. Despite crippling NCAA sanctions, blistering heat from the outraged media, and radio silence from the adults in the school's administration, these big - hearted kids refused to back down. With the once-mighty program in free fall, they put their personal fortunes on the line, battling together through five will-testing seasons to rehabilitate the program and its ideals, culminating in the momentous come-from-behind victory against Wisconsin in the 2016 Big Ten Championship Game. Their story echoes that of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team, a cast of young men--colossal underdogs--who boldly accepted the challenge of a lifetime, soaring to victory while shouldering the weight of a bruising political drama.
Physical Fitness and the 75th Ranger Regiment
This study attempts to determine how much each of the components of fitness; aerobic endurance, anaerobic and muscular endurance, strength, speed, coordination and flexibility are involved in the physically demanding tasks that a Ranger will most likely perform in combat. The extent to which each of the components of physical fitness are involved overall in the Ranger mission should be reflected in the type of physical training that the 75th Ranger Regiment conducts. The U. S. Army and its physical training manual, FM 21-20 and the 75th Ranger Regiment stress that the purpose of physical training is to help prepare soldiers for the rigor of combat. To ensure that this intent is met leaders must first understand the extent to which each of the components of physical fitness are involved in the mission before they can design a physical training program that helps meet the demands of combat. The results of this study indicate though the 75th Ranger Regiment maintains a high standard of physical fitness the physical training program, with its heavy emphasis on aerobic endurance, does not reflect the strength, flexibility, coordination and speed demands of combat.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

US Army Land Navigation in the 21st Century
US Army land navigation systems primarily rely on GPS-enabled technologies. The US Army has developed and integrated precision position, navigation, and timing systems into every aspect of operations from land navigation and unit position tracking to engagement of targets with precision munitions. This system has proved to be very reliable throughout the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, but the vulnerabilities of this system present it as a target of opportunity for hostile states and organizations. This research investigates US Army doctrine and training to determine whether or not legacy land navigation and unit position tracking remain in the curriculum for junior grade officers. ROTC, USMA, and OCS provided information pre-commissioning training. The infantry, armor, and engineer basic courses provided information about the initial training of company grade officers. Basic map and compass land navigation training must continue if the US Army plans to continue dominance in ground warfare. Overreliance on the GPS signal may result in significant loss of life and equipment if the GPS signal is lost.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Black Planet
Critically acclaimed and highly controversial, Black Planet was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and PEN USA Award and was named a Top Ten Nonfiction Book of 1999 by Esquire, Newsday, and LA Weekly. During the 1994-1995 NBA season, David Shields attended nearly all of the Seattle SuperSonics' home games; watched on TV nearly all their away games; listened to countless pre- and post-game interviews and call-in shows on the radio; spoke or tried to speak to players, coaches, agents, journalists, fans, his wife; corresponded with members of the Sonics newsgroup on the internet; read innumerable articles. "Although I'm a passionate basketball fan and Sonics fan," Shields wrote in the author's note to the original publication of Black Planet, "I wasn't interested in the game per se--who won, who lost, the minutiae of strategy. I was interested in how the game gets talked about. By the end of the season I'd accumulated hundreds of pages of often utterly illegible notes, the roughest of rough drafts. Over the next three years I transformed those notes into this book--a daily journal that runs the length of one team's long-forgotten season and that is now focused, to the point of obsession, on how white people (including especially myself) think about and talk about black heroes, black scapegoats, black bodies." Black Planet changed sports journalism and remains a prophetic book on America and race. This edition features a new foreword by Bryan Curtis.

Baseball in the Roaring Twenties
In the mid-1920s, America was in the throes of exuberant excess and clashing social change. It was the era of Prohibition and speakeasies; the reemergence of the Ku Klux Klan; popular evangelists, including ex-ballplayer Billy Sunday; a fascination with dangerous stunts like pole-sitting and wing-walking; incredible personal feats and new personalities such as Charles Lindbergh, Gertrude Ederle, and Mae West; and the advancement of innovative forms of entertainment--jazz, motion pictures, the radio. It was the Golden Age of Sports. But it was also a decade of corruption amid the ominous signs of economic collapse. In 1926 baseball stars of an earlier era still played major roles in the game: Veteran pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander was the hero of the 1926 World Series; Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker faced explosive allegations of game-fixing; Babe Ruth's mysterious illness and dismal 1925 season convinced many observers that Ruth was finished--over the hill. Meanwhile, new stars like Tony Lazzeri and Lou Gehrig had arrived on the scene, and the Negro Leagues were at the height of their popularity and success with Rube Foster's Chicago American Giants winning the Colored World Series of 1926. One of America's most ardent fans cheered from the White House--not the taciturn president, Calvin Coolidge, but his vibrant and well-liked wife, Grace. Focusing on the Cardinals and Yankees and their dramatic seven-game battle in the 1926 World Series, Baseball in the Roaring Twenties tells the story of key players such as Babe Ruth and Rogers Hornsby, the Negro Leagues season, and how baseball and the inextricably linked aspects of American life--Prohibition, the Jazz Age, and the rise of sports gambling--converged that year.
