Navy SEAL Wolfe Houston is on a mission of national security: protect one stubborn- but gorgeous- civilian in charge of training valuable government assets. But tracking down four genetically enhanced service dogs and guarding their furry backs 24/7 is going to take all of Wolfes tactical skills. The dogs unsuspecting trainer, Kit OHalloran, doesnt know that deadly mercenaries are determined to kidnap her charges. With hostiles to evade and bullets to dodge, theres no time to waste- so why is Kit pressed against an adobe wall by moonlight, reveling in the hot magic of Wolfes slow, skillful hands?

Wolfe is fascinated by Kits devotion to her puppies, especially Baby, the incorrigible runt of the litter. But two other trainers have died under strange circumstances- and a foreign government has just posted a staggering bounty for Kits capture. Before Wolfe can explore their white-hot attraction, the two are on the run, forced to decide which of their secret contacts is friend… and which is deadliest foe. Only Baby can lead them through the storm to safe haven in each others arms. Good dog!

1 The School of the Americas Chartered by the U.S. Congress, the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC former: the School of the Americas) provides professional education and training for civilian, military and law enforcement students from nations throughout the Western Hemisphere . The Institute`s Mission according to the self-projection on the website of the WHINSEC is the following: Our mission comes directly from the Congressionally approved legislation that authorizes and directs WHINSEC`s existence (10 U.S.C. § 2166). The purpose of the Institute is to provide professional education and training to eligible personnel of nations of the Western Hemisphere within the context of the democratic principles set forth in the Charter of the Organization of American States (such charter being a treaty to which the United States is a party), while fostering mutual knowledge, transparency, confidence, and cooperation among the participating nations and promoting democratic values, respect for human rights, and knowledge and understanding of United States customs and traditions. The WHINSEC is an U.S. Army facility at Fort Benning in Columbus, Georgia. A precursor the Latin American Ground School was established in 1946 in the Panama Canal Zone. After some changes this U.S. Army facility, training especially Latin American military personnel, became the School of the Americas (SOA) in 1963. In 1984 it was relocated to Fort Benning in Columbus, Georgia. As Lesley Gill points out the establishment of the Ground School coincided with renewed U.S. expansionist ambitions in the Americas and partially filled a power vacuum created by World War II, which ruptured long-standing military ties between European imperial powers particularly France, Italy, and Germany and Latin American. Further she argues that, the Ground School, however, did much more than train students in the tactics of warfare. It initiated their incorporation into the ideology of the American way of life by steeping them into a vision of empire that identified their aspirations with those of the United States, a process that, [] continues today.

The International Foundation for Protection Officers (IFPO) has for many years provided materials to support its certification programs. The current edition of this book is being used as the core text for the Security Supervision and Management Training/Certified in Security Supervision and Management (CSSM) Program at IFPO. The CSSM is unique and was designed in 1988 to meet the needs of the security supervisor or senior protection officer. The book has enjoyed tremendous acceptance and success in the past, but after seven years, it has become dated. The changes, vetted by IFPO, make the third edition more current and relevant.

Updates include 14 new chapters, 3 completely revised chapters, Student Performance Objectives added to each chapter, and added information on related resources (both print and online).

A look inside the U.S. Army War College.

We are all familiar with ROTC, West Point, and other institutions that train young men and women to be military officers. But few people know of the U.S. Army War College, where the Armys elite career officers go for advanced training in strategy, national security policy, and military-government policymaking. This book takes readers inside the U.S. Army War College to learn about the faculty, staff, administration, and curriculum.

Established in 1901, the schools mission has evolved from teaching the skills of war to training officers to negotiate both the complex world of modern strategy and the civilian bureaucracy in Washington. More like a professional graduate program than an academic graduate school, much of the education takes the form of exercises and simulations.

Judith Stiehm, who holds the U.S. Army Distinguished Civilian Service Medal, allows readers to judge whether the U.S. Army War College successfully prepares its students for their many roles. She is skeptical that instructors can fulfill this difficult task in an era where civilians expect our military to be invincible, to win without casualties, and to serve as peacekeepers.

The Military answers to the people of the United States and it is our responsibility to know how it operates at all levels. This book is a good place to start.
