April Post

This month i worked on a lot from independent component to Mentorship to community service. For independent component I did threat assessments and order of battles. Read up on my manuals to further enhance my understanding of military intelligence. With an emphasis on interrogation in human intelligence. I had learned in the march that i had only 25 hrs for community service so everyday of the week i have been volunteering at an after school program at an elementary from 1-6 so i should have my hours in no time. So that's what i have been doing this month.

Defend your work and explain the component's significance and how it demonstrates 30 hours of work.   Provide evidence (photos, transcript, art work, videos, etc) of the 30 hours of work.  
I had to complete a threat assessment and order of battle. I used my skills learned from mentorship and research to complete the task. Each one if done correctly can take an exceedingly long time to complete. below are links to both the order of battle and the threat assessment.

APPLIED
How did the component help you answer your EQ? Please include specific examples to illustrate how it helped. 

It allowed me to see if a weak requirement is drafted and used the report or any work following will be also weak and unreliable and cause the failure of the mission. The independent component has opened my eyes to see the directing phase is the most important phase and not the processing phase as i had established before. Directing phase not only took me longer to complete but was the most decisive time during my independent component.
