First Sergeant And Commanders Responsibility ( Profiles / Medpros )

James R. McDonough sets a spectacular example of what it is to be a second lieutenant in the United States Army and what it is truly like to lead a group of enlisted soldiers for the first time. Lieutenant McDonough, a graduate of West Point, was deployed as a platoon leader in a small fort with the mission of holding a Vietnamese village out of the hands of the Viet Cong. When he arrived, Lieutenant McDonough discovered that the former Lieutenant and platoon leader of the 2d Platoon, Bravo Company, 4th Battalion, 503d Infantry (Airborne) hardly ever left his

I feel the biggest challenge facing our Army today is the systemic lack of discipline amongst many ranks and organizations throughout the Army. Imagine an Army where we have leaders who decide to impose their own brand of justice, who create their own standards and have little regard for Soldiers wellbeing. What about being a part of an organization that because of their background creates new social norms for what is acceptable behavior. Is this an Army that you want to be a part of? Unfortunately we know all too well what that Army looks like, yet many choose not to act. My goal as Sergeant Major of the Army would be to find the root cause of these issues and attack them head on. By gathering facts, statistics and trends amongst the Army

Studies suggest patients seen in military health care facilities are at minimal risk for gross negligent care when evaluated and managed by PTs, with or without physician referral. Early access to PT has been reported to have far-reaching benefits or reduced medical costs, improved patient satisfaction, enhanced recovery time, reduced sick leave, prevention of chronic problems, and reduction in total amount of PT needed. Direct Access would reduce excessive patient visits, and initiate rehab closer to the time of injury or onset of symptoms, ensuring that serious injuries are referred to orthopedic

In A Chief Lieutenant, Jackson recovers the lived experience of oppression in Mississippi during the early-twentieth century. While cognizant of the extraordinary brutality that lay beneath the legal apparatus of segregation, he focuses upon the constraints institutionalized racism imposed upon a black middle class that nevertheless strove to make Mound Bayou a haven. His depiction of Charles Banks, an admiring one, confirms historian Robert Kenzer's observation that successful African Americans in the South "were forced to live very public lives in which they faced constant scrutiny not only from other blacks but also from whites."[2] As for Mound Bayou, it is worth remembering that those who fought for African American empowerment saw

TRADOC has collaborated with the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) to come up with a study of the physical demands expected with Combat MOS’s.

The Regional Health Command – Atlantic (Provisional) (RHC-A), is one of five US Army Medical Commands (MEDCOM) under the Office of the Army Surgeon General (OASG) that oversees the day-to-day operations of all the Military Training Facilities (MTFs) in the region. With an operating budget of $2 billion and over 600,000 beneficiaries, the RHC-A is the biggest regional command, spanning 27 states plus Puerto Rico. Its vision, to strengthen the health of our Nation by improving the health of our Army, is carried out through its mission of providing proactive,

The organizational chart varies by the size of the command, the mission, and the functions provided at the military treatment facility (MTF). The organizational chart should also provide the responsibilites, individual duties, and organizational relationships between directorates and departments (page 9, Dictorate, 2017). The MTF structure should provide quality resource allocation, management decisions, and provide useful data that is meaningful to accomplish the mission and vision of the

Military Treatment Facilities (MTF’s) currently use an outpatient electronic health record called the Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application (AHLTA). This system is designed uniquely for the military population with the ability to ensure no matter where active duty members are stationed, their medical records are accessible and available to providers.

Good morning, sir. IAW AR 40-501 the Soldier can ask their PCM for a temporary profile (TP) waving the 180 days profile. The PCM may or may not give the Soldier a TP depending on the assess of her condition. The TP will only permit the Soldier to be HT/WT, but limited from taking the APFT. The PCM should annotate this in his or her notes on the TP for you and Soldier that the decision to wave the 180 days profile for a TP has been approve.

As the Medical Readiness NCO (G. Burns) for the 230th Engineer Battalion, I send all updates, reports, and state medical review board packets to the case manager and her administrative assistant. The case manager is (A. Eaton) who is a registered nurse. Her administrative assistant is (C. Davila). If the state medical review board decides the Soldier is unfit for military duty, I will then create a new packet and send it either to the active duty medical evaluation board assistant (P. Denney) or to the non-duty related physical evaluation board assistant (J. Whitt). The unit readiness NCO (M. Brown) reports all medical and dental issues from Headquarters and Headquarters Company (HHC), Forward Support Company (FSC), and the 774th Survey

Military medicine has a rich and long history. The medical and health care delivery lessons gained through multiple wars fought in the past decades are applied to improve the care for military personnel and their families. It continually evolves and adapts to the current mandates of the government.

Teamwork, what is it? This is the question that has puzzled mankind for a millennium. Essentially it is where more than one person works together to achieve a common goal. We as people use teamwork every minute of the day, but it is especially important to the job of the Infantryman, it is the backbone of our jobs. We as soldiers have to recognize that in order to do our job we must rely on the man on our left and the man on our right. This is the basics of the infantryman 's job trust the guy to each side of you and you will make it through whatever evil hell may send your way. What happened last Thursday night was a total lack of teamwork, trust and most importantly brotherhood. Three soldiers from 1st Platoon decided to take things into
