Read the case study “The Least Worst Place.” After reading the case, respond to the following question:
Background: This case study centers on the creation of Joint Task Force 160 and its Deputy Commander in early 2002. More specifically, the case covers the decision to create the Joint Task Force, its impact upon Naval Base, Guantanamo Bay, and more broadly its impact on the United States and the world. The case also explores the potential impact that a few U.S. Navy O-6’s could have on the national security of the United States. The case also highlights that over time, organizations evolve due to their own internal experiences or in response to external forces.
Assume the role of CAPT Boone in his position as the Commanding Officer of U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay and Deputy Commander, JTF-160 to answer the following questions.
1. Identify what you believe to be the highest priority issue (critical gap) that needs to be addressed in your dual-hatted role as the CO of Guantanamo Bay and Deputy Commander of JTF-160. Why do you believe this to be your highest priority issue and what is the desired outcome you want to achieve?
2. Based on your highest priority issue, identify any sources of friction and resistance you anticipate when executing an implementation plan to address this critical gap? Discuss how you will address these sources of friction and resistance.
3. Identify any risks associated with executing your implementation plan and discuss how you would address these risks.
