2ID First Sergeant

Abstract

I was a First Sergeant in the famed Second Infantry Division from April 2002, until July 2003. Security measures were high on all military installations due to the frequent civil unrest in the Republic of Korea. Political tension was rapidly increasing between the United States and theNorth Korea government. This paper is an examination of the leadership challenges that I experienced in one of the most forwardly deployed units in the world prior to the war on terrorism. I will conclude by enlightening the reader on the specific challenges of maintaining discipline, moral, and unit cohesion during the period leading up to the American forces invasion of Iraq.
