CJTF-HOA developed a course of action to win the War on Terror in
the Horn of Africa. Because of the mission, resources available to
the task force, and the nature of the conflict, the command chose a
course of action that used Information Operations as the decisive
operation. Specifically they focused on the Information Operation
task of Information Engagement to accomplish the mission. Joint
Military doctrine states that a valid COA is one that is adequate,
feasible, acceptable, distinguishable, and complete. Since CJTF-HOA
already implemented the course of action, the analysis was limited
to adequate, feasible, and acceptable. CJTF-HOA's performance in
the past five years proved that Information Operations were an
adequate, feasible, and acceptable course of action to fight the
Global War on Terror in the Horn of Africa. This Information
Operations success story begs the question - What are Information
Operations? The Theory of Information Operations presumes that
there is an Information Environment that consists of three domains,
Cognitive, Informational, and Physical. Information resides in and
travels between these domains. Joint and Army doctrine provide a
common point of departure for how Information Operations align with
the warfighting functions. Proposed Army Doctrine would change the
current alignment to better facilitate planning and execution of
Information Operations. This new doctrinal alignment is extremely
relevant to facilitating the replication of CJTF-HOA's success in
other regions of the globe. Aligning the capabilities of
Information Operations along warfighting functions facilitates the
synchronization and coordination of Information Operations during
planning and execution. This is especially important in an
operational command such as CJTF-HOA. The rewrite of FM 3-0
Operations divides Information Operations into five tasks and
aligns responsibility for planning and executing these tasks along
warfighting functions. The new FM 3-0 also assigns staff
responsibility for each of the IO tasks. Under this construct, the
task of Information Engagement is part of the Command and Control
warfighting function and the G-7 has staff responsibility for that
task. The new construct eliminates the need for an Information
Operations Working Group. The IO tasks are coordinated and
synchronized by the responsible staff sections in the course of
executing the Military Decision Making Process or the Joint
Operation Planning Process. This war is a war of ideas, similar to
the Cold War. The key to continued success is for the U.S. to
continue the mission until the terrorists are convinced of their
defeat. Continued presence and action in the Horn of Africa
demonstrates that the U.S. has the will to prevail in the long
conflict. As the U.S. Military reduces troop commitments in Iraq
and Afghanistan, it should apply this course of action to other
regions in the globe similar to the Horn of Africa. For the U.S.
Military to achieve the maximum benefit of this course of action in
new regions, the Military must incorporate the lessons learned from
CJTF-HOA. Those lessons cover a range of topics but the most
important are command and control, interagency coordination and
timeframe. Implementing these lessons learned reduces risk in
future operations.

Throughout history, perhaps no other disease has generated the
level of social, scientific, and political discourse or has had the
degree of cultural significance as cancer. A collective in the
truest sense of the word, "cancer" is a clustering of different
diseases that afflict individuals in different ways. Its burdens
are equally broad and diverse, from the physical, financial, and
psychological tolls it imposes on individuals to the costs it
inflicts upon the nation's clinical care and public health systems,
and despite decades of concerted efforts often referred to as the
"war on cancer", those costs have only continued to grow over time.
The causes and effects of cancer are complex?in part preventable
and treatable, but also in part unknown, and perhaps even
unknowable. Guiding Cancer Control defines the key principles,
attributes, methods, and tools needed to achieve the goal of
implementing an effective national cancer control plan. This report
describes the current structure of cancer control from a local to
global scale, identifies necessary goals for the system, and
formulates the path towards integrated disease control systems and
a cancer-free future. This framework is a crucial step in
establishing an effective, efficient, and accountable system for
controlling cancer and other diseases. Table of Contents Front

Advances in Quantum Chemistry presents surveys of current
developments in this rapidly developing field that falls between
the historically established areas of mathematics, physics,
chemistry, and biology. With invited reviews written by leading
international researchers, each presenting new results, it provides
a single vehicle for following progress in this interdisciplinary
area.
Theoretical methods have dramatically extended the reach and grasp
of atmospheric scientists. This edition of Advances in Quantum
Chemistry collects a broad range of articles that provide reports
from the leading edge of this interaction. The chemical systems
span the range from atoms to clusters to droplets. Electronic
structure calculations are used to uncover the details of the
breakdown and removal of emissions from the atmosphere and the
simultaneous development of air pollution including ozone and
particles. The anomalous enrichment of heavy isotopes in
atmospheric ozone is discussed using RRKM theory, and a number of
techniques are presented for calculating the effect of isotopic
substitution on the absorption spectra of atmospheric molecules.

Medical residents in hospitals are often required to be on duty for
long hours. In 2003 the organization overseeing graduate medical
education adopted common program requirements to restrict resident
workweeks, including limits to an average of 80 hours over 4 weeks
and the longest consecutive period of work to 30 hours in order to
protect patients and residents from unsafe conditions resulting
from excessive fatigue. Resident Duty Hours provides a timely
examination of how those requirements were implemented and their
impact on safety, education, and the training institutions. An
in-depth review of the evidence on sleep and human performance
indicated a need to increase opportunities for sleep during
residency training to prevent acute and chronic sleep deprivation
and minimize the risk of fatigue-related errors. In addition to
recommending opportunities for on-duty sleep during long duty
periods and breaks for sleep of appropriate lengths between work
periods, the committee also recommends enhancements of supervision,
appropriate workload, and changes in the work environment to
improve conditions for safety and learning. All residents, medical
educators, those involved with academic training institutions,
specialty societies, professional groups, and consumer/patient
safety organizations will find this book useful to advocate for an
improved culture of safety. Table of Contents Front Matter Abstract

Recent years have witnessed major advances in the study of neuroscience that have increased our understanding of the relationship between cerebral processes and behavioural, cognitive and emotional disorders. This series aims to monitor important research developments in the field of biological psychiatry and their relevance to clinical practice. At a time when violent crime is on the increase in a number of countries a book on aggression and impulsivity is undoubtedly welcome. This volume, written by experts in their field, covers a range of topics including the phenomenology of aggression and impulsivity, etiological factors and biological markers, and the treatments of these variables. This volume: - Concentrates on the biological aspects of aggression and impulsivity
- Provides a timely and comprehensive publication, especially in view of the increase in crime in recent years
