Recommended: United States and Soviet Union foreign policy in the Cold War era

Sir! We might have discovered something huge in the Sea of Okhotsk, it might have to do with the Soviet Union! “Well what is it boy spill the beans, I need to know everything piece of information you know,” Sergeant Campbell said. “Well supposedly the Soviet Union might have a well hidden communication cable that no one has seen before! No one knew about it until now so who knows where that cable is connected to and what information is getting passed through. It could be some top secret information of an attack or even a military movement who knows! What do you think about that Sergeant?”
“Arthur, we have to find this communication cable, it is a major threat if you don’t. “The cable, between Soviet bases on the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Soviet Far Eastern coast, carried highly classified military, as well as civilian, communications” (Allen.) We have to start training the Bravo squad and send them in, including myself so I can personally clarify that the mission was a success. Who knows what else they have down there, we can only find out! So send a message to Bravo team telling them to prepare for this mission” A couple of minutes later the loud speakers turned on signaling Bravo team to report to the training center. Bravo Team consisted of Rob, Tyler, Frank, Kyle, and now Sergeant Campbell. They were known to be the best and most productive squad and they were the first ones to be called if something needed to be done quickly and efficiently.” They had a good reputation of getting the job done so they built a name for themselves and they deserved every bit of recognition possible.
Shortly they all arrived at the training center at 0800 hours; they were ready to go back to work and sharpen their skills knowing this will b...

    The book summarizes the struggles that Bravo Company faced from the start even before deployment. The unit was initially sent to JRTC at Fort Polk, Louisiana, and made many tactical errors during their rotation. 1st platoon had many individuals captured from the start, and the leadership automatically decided that Captain Goodwin would be incompetent for the following deployment while LTC Kunk would be difficult to work with for the upcoming year. Once they came out from JRTC, Bravo Company and Charlie Company were both given the toughest missions. Bravo Company was assigned to the most dangerous AO in the so-called triangle o...

  • World War II Submarine Warfare and the United States

    2221 Words  | 5 Pages

    In the thirty-eight years of the United States Naval Submarine Service no United States submarine had ever sunk an enemy vessel. With the ignition of the Second World War the poorly equipped and poorly trained Silent Service, nicknamed for the limited access of the media to the actions and achievements of the submarines, would be thrust into the position American submariners had longed for. The attack on Pearl Harbor left the United States Navy with few options for retribution. The three remaining aircraft carriers were to be “the last line of defense.” Commander Stuart S. Murray made the precarious situation clear to his skippers, captains, upon sending them on their first war patrol. He stressed the importance of smart sailing by warning them not “to go out there and win the Congressional Medal of Honor in one day. The submarines are all we have left.” We entered the war with 55 submarines, 27 at Pearl Harbor and 28 at Cavite in the Philippines. At first our submarine strategies lacked ingenuity and failed to use our subs to their full potential. United States subs were assigned to reconnaissance, transporting supplies, and lifeguard duty, picking up downed airmen and sailors. They were even, on occasion, sent to rescue high profile Americans on the run from the enemy or from islands under enemy siege. Although their ability was, unfortunately, wasted in our entrance to the Pacific Theater the Silent Service would soon gain the recognition its men yearned for.

  • The KGB

    2765 Words  | 6 Pages

    Throughout the years most country's governments have established some sort of secret police. No matter what the government called it, whether it is the United States' Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or her Majesty's secret service (MI6), whatever name the government used, the international term of "secret police" could always be applied. Many agencies of secret police have had their success and failures, some more than others. The KGB, which in English means "the Committee of Public Safety," has had their share of both successes and failures. Most secret police agencies have been used primarily to obtain information from other countries. This was also a primary goal for the KGB, but one of their other goals, which was just as important, was to keep unwanted outside information from the Russian people. This was only one out of many the KGB's objectives. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to prove that the actions of the KGB were, all in all, a success.
