Stevens II of Dallas\, Texas\, passed away on October 25\, 2024. He was 89 years old\, one month to the day shy of his 90th birthday. Rollie was born in Des Moines\, Iowa to parents Rollin and Cora Mae. He graduated from East High School in Des Moines in 1953\, and went on to the University of Iowa where he graduated with a B.S. in Science in 1957. On May 17\, 1958\, he married Jean Ann Olson of Kanawha\, Iowa\, and they remained married for 66 years. \nRollie joined the Navy in 1957 and was on active duty for 7 years\, deploying on the USS Ticonderoga aircraft carrier. He remained in the Navy for more than 30 years in the Navy Reserves\, spending a weekend each month and two weeks each year on various duty details. \nAfter his active duty in the Navy\, Rollie began his career in sales with American Hospital Supply Corporation\, which was later acquired by Baxter.

He enjoyed early morning coffees with Jean on his back porch overlooking Lewisville Lake\, declaring “a Navy man lives by the water”. He also loved his favorite sports teams including the Dallas Cowboys\, Texas Rangers\, Iowa Hawkeyes\, and even the local Lake Highlands High School where all of his children graduated. \nHe is survived by Jean\, his wife\, his daughter Kyle Vandeven (John)\, son Jeff Stevens (Stanna)\, daughter Kim Stevens\, three grandchildren Andrea Stevens\, Samantha Stevens\, Joshua Stevens\, and two sisters Nan Keith and Shari DeCook of Iowa. \nRollie will be interred at the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery.

He later attended the University of Chattanooga and enlisted in the U.S.Army Air Corps as an Aviation Cadet while in his sophomore year soon after Pearl Harbor. \nGraduating from twin-engine flight school in February\, 1943 along with 40 of his classmates he was immediately assigned to the 100th Bomb Group\, a B-17 Bomb Group as co-pilots just prior to being sent overseas to England with the 8th Air Force. As one of the early U.S. Bomber Groups in England\, and without fighter escort and due to it’s initial heavy losses\, quickly became known as “the Bloody Hundredth”.

Please arrive by 7:30 a.m. to order from the menu.  Breakfast is $15.  Discussion starts at 7:30 and ends at 9:00. \nThe discussion will be moderated by Bob Epstein\, Texas Guard\, 19th Military Police Brigade \nThe Israel Defense Force have relied on mission command since their foundation. This essay collection explores Israel’s military strategy through the understanding of mission command and its relation to command and control. MISSION COMMAND IN THE ISRAEL DFENSE FORCE provides real-world scenarios that used mission command-written by the acting officers themselves. \nThe dictionary definition of “command” discusses “authority\,” however\, the idea of “command” is much more complex. Command can only exist when other people carry out the instructions issued by a commander. Military command generally focuses on a mission with clearly defined objectives that must be achieved through coordinated activities. Because the commander is responsible for achieving those goals\, command also involves responsibility. In the last decade\, the “mission command” method has become a popular mantra or buzzword. Preparing an army for war is a process that takes many years. It involves building the force and developing and training officers and soldiers for battle. Each army does so according to its own heritage and culture. Like any other army\, the I.D.F. has dealt with mission command over the years in its own unique way. This volume will demonstrate how\, for the I.D.F.\, mission command is not merely a technique\, but a culture. \nBrig. General (Ret.) Gideon Avidor joined the I.D.F. Armored Corps in 1957.  He participated in the Six-Day War as Tank Brigade G3; in the Yom Kippur war\, he was the 252nd Division G3. During the Second Lebanon War\, he was the Chief Armored Officer. He also commanded the School of Armor\, was the DY Armor Corps Commander and the Israeli Defense Attaché.   He graduated from the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College and the I.D.F. National Defense College. \n \nRSVP to Bob Epstein @ macabee1948@gmail.com URL:https://www.dallasmoww.org/calendar/military-history-book-club-march-14-2024/ LOCATION:Prestonwood CC\, 15909 Preston Road\, Dallas\, TX\, 15909 Preston Road\, Dallas\, TX\, 75248\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.dallasmoww.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/aerGH.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/North_Dakota/Center:20240305T074500 DTEND;TZID=America/North_Dakota/Center:20240305T093000 DTSTAMP:20250602T052822Z CREATED:20240902T224443Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250602T052822Z UID:1022-1709624700-1709631000@www.dallasmoww.org SUMMARY:March Luncheon DESCRIPTION:Description\n \nIn recent years\, China’s militarization of the South China Sea\, aggressive military actions\, coupled with its Belt and Road initiatives have posed a major threat to U.S. interests and a free and open Indo-Pacific.
