JLTV fielding for 391st Military Police Battalion

You are a senior staff officer working on a division staff and will need to provide authoritative and convincing analysis to help your commander make a decision. View the set of video staff briefings for the 391st Military Police Battalion. After viewing the videos (replicating your attendance at their briefing), prepare and submit a position paper in argumentative essay style recommending to your Senior Staff Officer/Principal for the Battalion's proposal. Refer to ST 22-2 Leader Communication (March 2016) to review the components of an argumentative essay and the citations of sources. Your essay must have an introduction with a thesis statement; body paragraphs with topic sentences, supporting key points, and examples/evidence to support the thesis; and a conclusion that summarizes the main points and reiterates the thesis.
TOPIC: Incorporating points from the battalion presentation and other authoritative sources, articulate your recommendation as a division staff officer on why the division's JLTV initial fielding plan should not be changed.
The recommendation analysis should include the number of vehicles, the "bill-payer" strategy, the potential impacts or pushback from other stakeholders, and the risks. Include at least two DOTMLPF-P domain considerations (doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, facilities and policy), and a recommendation for a TOE or for an MTOE change.
Do not provide a simple summation to the question. You must write an argumentative essay, and hence argue the senior staff point of view supported by specific examples and evidence to convince the Commander.
GUIDANCE FOR WRITING THE ESSAY: • Must be typed and double-spaced • Must use Arial 12-pitch font and one-inch margins • Must be a minimum of three pages, but cannot exceed five pages • Must provide endnote or footnote citation and a bibliography IAW ST 22-2. • Must use active voice and NOT use first person
