Marine Guard Unit Paper

1. SITUATION: The Battalion will direct an Army Personnel Asset Inventory (PAI) to account for 100% of all personnel assigned and attached to 34TH

The United States of America has not used a draft for their military since 1973 and some people wonder if it should be put back in use. The U.S. citizens are worried that volunteers will not be enough if a bigger war breaks out and that we truly need the draft. The big question with this idea is, it it a good idea to bring back the draft?

The United States should not reinstitute the military draft. The draft is unconstitutional and morally unjust. The draft violates a United States citizens simple rights. Not only is the draft unwise and impractical but also undermines a persons freedom.

As the US military opens combat roles to women, several politicians ask that registration for the draft be required for women, eliciting the support of some young Americans.

Currently there are 221, 29 foot Response Boat Small assets in the Coast Guards inventory. Of these assets, all were made with hardened tempered glass. This paper will discuss a need to remove current glass and replace with automotive safety glass to reduce hazards to boat crews.

Many former soldiers of World War 1 pronounce the experience as hell on earth. The atmosphere was a constant smell of burning flesh, dead animals, and booming artillery. Animal and human waste mixed with acrid smell of the high explosive artillery shells. Many soldiers descried the smoke as getting closer to the smoke of death. The trenches were so uncomfortable and usually partially flooded with mud and water. The

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is in need of a makeover of the Enlisted Employee Review (EER) system to eradicate prejudices and align the competencies with the job description. The new EER should intertwine with the behavioral management theory’s objectives. Goals to consider during the creation and implementation process are to advance the most deserving individuals and to place members in job positions according to skill level. A recommendation of improvement, time, and cost analysis reflects the update will benefit the USCG and data tracking can support or oppose the decision.

As a result, the ADM David McDonald established the Explosives Handling Personnel QUAL/CERT Program. The program ensures that all Sailors tasked to handle ordnance receive adequate training and supervision during every ordnance evolution.

The integration of air operations into the ground commander’s scheme of maneuver may also require the integration of other services or multinational partners. Integration fundamentals include: understanding the capabilities and limitations of each force, building habitual relationships, and training. BCTs are typically augmented with support from the Air Force Tactical Air Control Party, Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company, an Aviation Liaison Officer and multinational liaisons as mission variables of METT-TC dictate. It is important for the ADAM/BAE to manage these additional personnel during UAP development and tailor the product to meet the requirements of all users. A strong measure of performance that signifies a well synchronized UAP is the processing time for both pre-planned and counter fire missions. When all airspace users are integrated, the BCT can expedite air clearance to enable effective fire support to the Soldier on the

One of these organizations is the United States Coast Guard who provides interdiction of illegal contraband and undocumented aliens from entering in the United States via small boats or shipping containers. They currently operate in locations around the country in coastal areas such as both the Pacific and Atlantic coast, the Gulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes. The DHS has also assigned the United States Coast Guard to set up remote stations along with cutters to monitor and patrol the waterways around shipping ports. Although there were no such reported incidents of a terrorist at any of the port terminals in America, there is always that fear of it happening. According to XXXX, he stated, “His biggest fear is that terrorists will use a shipping

Several functions are required within the organization that ensures a high level of combat readiness, technical directives being one of them. The unit commanders’ mission is the continuous training of Marines in basic ground combat fighting, piloting, and aircraft maintenance. Chang and Wang (2010) state that if senior civil aviation leadership focus on factors related to aircraft maintenance, they can drastically reduce human errors and cost (Chang & Wang, 2010, pp. 56-62). Helicopter Marine Light Attack squadron 469 maintenance department is comprised of 293 personnel on average with different skill sets responsible for the day to day operations and requires intimate involvement by senior leadership to succeed.

SUMMARY: With over 28 years of education and experience in the Marine Corps’ Ammunition/Explosives Occupational Field, an active Secret clearance, and thorough knowledge of military policies, government contracts and leadership hierarchy, I am a retired USMC officer ready for the next challenge. My experiences have allowed me to grow in many different management areas: program management, Defense Acquisition, logistics, configuration management, creating budget exhibits that included briefing senior leadership, quality assurance, production audits, establishing plans of action and milestones, personnel supervision and, foreign military sales.

As the years past the Army began a new era of movements and adjustments that affected many units and the 12th Combat Aviation Brigade was one of the first units to be effected by the Army’s Aviation restructuring. The Army’s Aviation Restructuring Initiative (ARI) was proposed in October 2013, by “the Army Chief of Staff” (Tan, 2015 Para. 1). Ultimately, the ARI was projected to remove more than 10,000 positions “by eliminating active-component and reserve-component units from the Army’s force structure” (Tan 2015 Para. 1). Before the restructuration of the 12th CAB, there was “a mix of three assault and support battalions in Katterbach, and two smaller units in Stuttgart” (Gould, 2015 Para 1). The ARI also meant that many units would “be

2. A problem with the current United States Air Force philosophy is that it tends to favor efficiency over effectiveness.1 With an increasing need to streamline procedures, the Department of Defense claims it can operate more efficiently by reforming weapons acquisition with an emphasis on operating jointly and attacking redundancies among military services.2 The Air Force continues to decline in numbers and strength as the American perception of air threats decreases and the focus on land campaigns increase.3 This shift is best characterized by a quality over quantity mentality, upgrading the current fleet with new sensor suites, avionics and weapons.4 In terms of sustained deployments and wars of attrition, mass quantities of advanced aircraft and highly skilled personnel are needed to meet the demands of a worst-case scenario engagement.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems have taken the Army by storm. While most units fly on a regular basis, easily meeting their hourly requirements, and becoming very proficient at these tasks. There are several National Guard Units that continuously fail to meet these requirements. I think that if every National Guard Unit was able to conduct flight operations where they held weekend drills. You would see a drastic increase in annual hours flown, as well as overall proficiency and retention of soldiers in these units. Throughout this paper I will discuss HOR (home of record) unit’s flight hour’s vs non HOR unit’s flight hours. Along with the other difficulties these units face. I will also discuss the effects that low flight hours have on soldier’s
