Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to produce an academic case study for use in the United States Naval Academy’s NL310 Leadership Theory and Applications course analyzing the concepts of organizational justice, the Constitutional Paradigm, moral disengagement, and power and influence. We begin with an overview of the course, to include midshipman leadership development curriculum, course structure, and topics covered. We then provide a brief background on the United States Marine Corps response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as a lens to examine the themes of the case study. Finally, we discuss the case study methodology and its utility in academics. The case focuses on an artillery battery led by Captain X, who, while deployed in support of the Unit Deployment Program, is told that he must send all unvaccinated Marines home. This presents two issues: first, it would drastically reduce his combat power, and second, Captain X suspects that several of the Marines who are claiming a religious exemption to the vaccine are doing so only to take leave of the deployment early. Students must decide how they would respond if they were Captain X.
