Once the analysis of the current APFT exercises have been completed the research will move on to the combat oriented tasks described in the TRADOC PT Manual. This leads us into stage two of the research. The tasks describe within the manual can be found within chapter 13 of the manual. The TRADOC manual is also Army wide guidance concerning what types of tasks Soldiers must be able to perform in combat situations. The actions prescribed in the manual will be evaluated on the same criteria as the current APFT format. The tasks specifically include: marching, running, lifting from ground and overhead, lunching pushing and rotations. These actions will again be broken down into the different body actions used in each movement and associated with the type of muscle contractions used. The TRADOC Tasks will be categorized and their characteristics identified on the following graph.
Operational leaders down to the platoon and squad level have recently faced increasingly complex missions in uncertain operational environments. Accordingly, Army doctrine has shifted to officially recognize mission command, which enables leaders at the lowest level feasible to “exercise disciplined initiative” in the accomplishment of a larger mission. The operational process consists of six tenants: understand, visualize, describe, direct, lead, and assess. During the battle of Fallujah, LtGen Natonski understood the intent two levels up, visualizing courses of action for both allies and the enemy, and leading his organization into combat while directing his officers and soldiers to meet his intent. He visualized that Marines alone could not accomplish the mission. He understood that without the support of Iraqi police and a task force from the Army with

The 340B program was implemented to provide eligible entities with discounted outpatient drugs for those uninsured and most vulnerable to help the have better access to prescription medications. The program was working well and was meeting its original intent to help providers get patients the medications they need and it cost the citizens next to nothing. There has been substantial expansion in the 340B program. There have been Congressional and administrative policy changes that have had a direct and indirect effect on the expansion of the 340B program.
If Hanson’s belief of a strong military is sincere, then innovative thinking in a collaborative approach to the defense of the nation is needed. In the case of calendar year 2013, moving 80% of the defense budget to "butter" related activities would reduce defense spending by $386 billion dollars. This would therefore allow for defense related activities to be focused on appropriately.

People fill their summers with vacations at all-inclusive resorts, road trips or afternoons at the park. That’s true for many Soldiers as well. However, for nearly 200 Soldiers in the 364th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), they also fit in more than 14 days of tough and realistic annual training at the Combat Support Training Exercise 86-15-03 this year at Ft. McCoy, Wis.
Over the next few years, more than a million military service members are expected to transition to the general population and some challenges are expected such as finding a good job to sustain their way of living (GAO, 2014). To assist service men and women during the process of transition, the Soldier for Life-Transition Assistance Program (SFL-TAP) previously known as the Army Career and Alumni Program (ACAP) was put in place. This is a program that has been in existence since 1990 after the congress passed a law targeting its establishment. This mandatory program was designed by the Department of the Army to help ease the burden of Military and Department of the Army employees experiencing career transition. The program was established to assist not only military personnel but also their family members with transitioning. It was founded as an answer to the problems associated mostly with job acquisition, school admission and rehabilitation of military personnel into
