In May 2010, an intelligence analyst in the US Army’s 10th Mountain Division was arrested on suspicion of leaking nearly half a million classified government documents, including the infamous “Collateral Murder” gunsight video and 260,000 State Department cables. After nine months in solitary confinement, the suspect now awaits court-martial in Fort Leavenworth. He is twenty-four, comes from Crescent, Oklahoma and his name is Bradley Manning. Who is Private First Class Bradley Manning? Why did he allegedly commit the largest security breach in American history–and why was it so easy? Is Manning a traitor or a whistleblower? Is long-term isolation an outrage to American values–or the new norm? Are the leaks revolutionary or a sensational nonevent? Which is the greater security threat, routinized elite secrecy or flashes of transparency? And what impact does new information really have? The astonishing leaks attributed to Bradley Manning are viewed from many angles, from Tunisia to Guantánamo Bay, from Foggy Bottom to Baghdad to small-town Oklahoma. Around the world, the eloquent alleged act of one young man obliges citizens to ask themselves if they have the right to know what their government is doing.

On July 30, 2013, U.S. Army soldier Bradley E. Manning was convicted of violating the Espionage Act, stealing government property, and miscellaneous offenses, all related to unlawfully passing 734,885 official documents to WikiLeaks. He was sentenced to reduction in rank to the lowest grade, forfeiture of pay and allowances, confinement for 35 years and a dishonorable discharge. The morning after sentencing, Manning's lawyer appeared on NBC's Today show to convey his client's gender-morphing message, "I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female." This is the first book to thoroughly examine Manning's 12-week trial, and the first to retrace the step-by-step revelations of the soldier's conflicted gender identity, from the earliest media reports, continuing through the court-martial's pretrial and trial phases, and culminating with the sensationalistic self-outing on network TV. Manning: The Soldier Who Leaked on His/Her Country is also a first in another way: the first book by a heretic in the cathedral of Manning hero worshippers, daring to reveal their idol's feet of clay. Though neither biography nor formal history, this work is meant to withstand academic scrutiny. The author's research included all 515 pretrial and 209 trial documents available at the Army's Freedom of Information Act Electronic Reading Room; all 7,197 pages of unofficial trial transcripts published by Freedom of the Press Foundation; and selected pretrial legal filings, court rulings and partial transcripts from the online database maintained by independent journalist Alexa O'Brien. The author further relied on contemporaneous reports by reputable news organizations, as well as colorful postings at Twitter and Facebook. Factual material is meticulously documented by citations to published sources, each accompanied by a URL for Internet verification. Hyperlinked notes are fully functional in the Kindle edition and are also independently available free online at http://manningtrial.blogspot.com/

During 1989, the world witnessed the decline of the "threat" from the USSR and the apparent unraveling of the Warsaw Pact. The American public and Congress used these events to begin questioning the need for the current Department of Defense structure. The size of the Defense budget and the size of the national debt makes these actions predictable. As Defense cuts are being proposed and evaluated, it is the responsibility of those in Defense to ensure an eye is kept on future national security interests. The DOD and the services must remain viable forces during this period of change and restructure. This book examines the challenge of meeting the manpower requirements of a reducing Army; how to provide the flexibility for future expansion; the capability of current systems of recruiting and the draft to meet these needs; the potentials of the proposed national service corps, and concludes with recommendations.

An extraordinarily brave and moving memoir from one of the world's most famous whistle-blowers, activists and trans women. In 2013, Chelsea Manning was sentenced to thirty-five years in military prison for the largest leak of classified documents in history. The next day, Chelsea declared her gender identity as a woman and began to transition. In this radically candid memoir, Chelsea recounts how her challenging youth led her to join the US Army. She writes of the fierce pride she took in her work, the risks of the military's queer underground and the wider culture of silence and unaccountability. She describes fifty-nine days locked in an iron cage after her fateful decision and the community of solidarity she later discovered in prison. Above all, we see the phenomenal courage and resilience it took to survive and become a global advocate for transparency. 'A terrific read, full of unexpected turns and details that counter many of the assumptions made about Manning' GUARDIAN 'Brilliantly told' THE TIMES 'Searing...uplifting...redemptive' NEW YORK TIMES 'A full and expansive account of Manning's life, one which is often harrowing but funny and poignant too' DAZED

An Industrial Age model continues to shape the way the Army approaches its recruiting, personnel management, training, and education. This outdated personnel management paradigm—designed for an earlier era—has been so intimately tied to the maintenance of Army culture that a self-perpetuating cycle has formed, diminishing the Army's attempts to develop adaptive leaders and institutions. This cycle can be broken only if the Army accepts rapid evolutionary change as the norm of the new era. Recruiting the right people, then having them step into an antiquated organization, means that many of them will not stay as they find their ability to contribute and develop limited by a centralized, hierarchical organization. Recruiting and retention data bear this out. Several factors have combined to force the Army to think about the way it develops and nurtures its leaders. Yet, Vandergriff maintains, mere modifications to today's paradigm may not be enough. Today's Army has to do more than post rhetoric about adaptability on briefing slides and in literature. One cannot divorce the way the Army accesses, promotes, and selects its leaders from its leadership-development model. The Army cannot expect to maintain leaders who grasp and practice adaptability if these officers encounter an organization that is neither adaptive nor innovative. Instead, Army culture must become adaptive, and the personnel system must evolve into one that nurtures adaptability in its policies, practices, and beliefs. Only a detailed, comprehensive plan where nothing is sacred will pave the way to cultural evolution.

Looks at the costs and benefits to the Army of varying levels of recruit quality in 1986, which had advanced considerably. In FY 1985, 90% held high school diplomas, up 40% points from the low point of 1980. Scores on aptitude tests showed comparable improvement. But concern has arisen over the Army¿s ability to sustain such success -- let alone recruit even higher quality in coming years -- at an acceptable cost. Contents: (1) Intro. and Background: The Recruiting System; What Is Quality?; (2) Prospects for Recruiting; (3) The Costs of High Quality: The Army¿s Program; (4) The Relationship of Quality to Performance; (5) Alternatives to the Army¿s Program. Appendixes: Calculating Productivity and Cost; Occupational Descriptions; Projections.
