This assignment is to write a one page proposal for the research paper to include the following:
a) name
b) course title
c) date
d) working title
e) a brief summary of the proposed paper topic
f) research question(s) the student plans to answer in the paper
g) a preliminary thesis, i.e. a tentative answer to the research questions(s)
The thesis statement (or hypothesis) is usually no more than a sentence or two long. It clearly delineates the argument that is presented in your work and is usually found at the end of the first paragraph of a paper. The thesis statement says what the author is trying to prove in the document. The thesis statement is invaluable when constructing an outline, which you will do in week six, as it shows what points need to be proven.
(The overall submission which is due at the end of the course requires the completion and of a 10-12 page individually written paper. The paper should be no less than 2500 words and no more than 3000 words, with the appropriate notes and bibliography to support your conclusions. Spreading the research paper over multiple assignments will help you progress through the paper in a systematic process over the length of this course.)

Read the “General Instructions and Format” attachment first. It has the instructions and the writing format. The paper should be formatted exactly how the example is.

Question 1: Read the case study “Closing American Detainee Facilities at Guantanamo Bay (2009). After reading the case, respond to the following question: 
Background: This case study centers on the challenges facing the Obama Administration’s
efforts to close detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay (GITMO). As a presidential candidate, Obama argued about the importance of closing GITMO and, once elected, appeared to 
have broad support both within his broader administration and across the American 
populace. However, he was ultimately unable to close the facility which still remains open at the time of this writing (Spring 2023). 
Identify and discuss the key factors influencing President Obama’s inability to close
Guantanamo Bay (GITMO) despite signing an Executive Order on his first day in office
directing the detention facility be closed. In your response be sure to clearly explain which
factors, from your perspective, were most influential on this policy decision, and why.
Question 2: 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.
