    In today’s operating environment, focusing on modularity with forces deployed across the globe, it is vital for Commanders to study, understand and apply Mission Command principles. During the Revolutionary War, the British had forces spread from New York to Charleston and communications were extremely slow.

Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis, an otherwise successful military leader throughout the war, failed to demonstrate these principles in the lead-up to and during the Battle of Yorktown. His failures from April 25 to October 19, 1781, would…

Flashbacks came unexpectedly at the smallest triggers like a whiff of certain cleaning chemicals. Bar fights seemed unavoidable; he nearly attacked a man for not washing his hands in the bathroom. Desperate for sleep and relief, Mr.Galavant turned to bottles of alcohol to comfort him and to drown his woes in. One morning, his parents found him in the driveway slumped over the wheel of his car, the door wide open, wipers scraping back and forth. Another time, they found him curled in a fetal position in his closet. In denial of the obvious problem he had, it took his drunken driving causing the death of a 16-year-old cheerleader for Mr.Galavant to acknowledge the depth of his problem: His eight months at war had profoundly damaged his psyche.“I was trying to be the tough marine I was trained to be — not to talk about problems, not to cry,” said Mr. Galavant, who has since been diagnosed with severe post-traumatic stress disorder. “I imprisoned myself in my own mind.(Alvarez par 1).

    Krakauer wrote that Chris McCandless was, "green, and he overestimated his resilience, but was sufficiently skilled to last for sixteen weeks on a little more than his wits and ten pounds of rice"(Krakauer 182). In this quote it seems that Krakauer thought that McCandless was well equipped with his skills, so that made moderately prepared to survive in any situation.
