Title	Military leadership in combat
Abstract	The purpose of this study is to examine both effective and non-effective leader behaviors exhibited by leaders in the U.S. Army while in combat and under enemy fire. A secondary goal is to determine whether characteristics of combat leadership are present or evident in all forms of leadership. Specifically, leader behaviors will be identified by using a stratified sample of soldiers, noncommissioned officers, and commissioned officers, all with varying degrees of experience, years of service, among both male and female soldiers. The study proposes a hybrid research design using qualitative and quantitative measures that incorporate 2,000 soldier surveys, 8 focus groups consisting of a total of 80 soldiers, and 24 in-depth interviews (18 male, 6 female) from 8 separate groups. The results of this study will be published in the author's dissertation titled Military Leadership in Combat.
