Personnel in support of contingency operations will seek the assistance of the MCT’s for these functions, and most times the MCT’s are available to assist. Once those
One of the most prevalent and effective systems used within the Marine Corps is the human resources system known as Marine Online (MOL). MOL was created to track Marines annual training, allow special requests such as leave, liberty, temporary duty assignments, personal time away from duty. MOL also gives Marines the ability to track carrier progression through annual reporting and rewards that are posted. The system includes promotion tracking and allows one to calculate physical training scores such as physical fitness training scores and combat fitness-training scores. The system allows Marines to track pay and leave in incremental amounts allowing one to view

While the Canadian Armed Forces has 38 forces bases and wings across the country, we also have a vast mobile force that is deployed around the world (Government of Canada, 2013). To find organizational similarities, one looks to the standard operating procedures which govern the mobile deployment sites and safety requirements when completing a forward deployment for troops. While not always similar in placement locally, troops find themselves surrounded by similar services no matter if they are deployed internationally or redeployed nationally, regardless of the Base or Wing. This is done to ensure a smooth transition and ease of relocation for troops and their
Current capability set fielding along with future fielding 's including Bradley engineering change proposal (ECP), Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) Engineering, Manufacturing, and Development (EMD), and full rate production (FRP) radio variants are the Army 's answer to brigade combat team modernization. The tactical environment is the tip of the spear, a challenging space where effectiveness, survivability, and sustainability provide the keys to success. That success is becoming increasingly reliant on data. Data drives our missions, from operations, intelligence, and fires, to other areas such as medical and logistics. Consumption of data is being fueled by the introduction of new communication systems. Warfighter information tactical (WIN-T) has begun to bring this data down to the Brigade and Battalion level with the Point of Presence (POP), and the Battalion and Company level with the Soldier Network Extension (SNE). New radio waveforms are providing conduits for data down to the tactical edge. WIN-T and Handheld, Manpack, and Small Form Fit (HMS) radios are being integrated into Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) vehicle platforms now. The Mid-Tier Networking Vehicular Radio (MNVR) is just around the corner in FY17.
When you grow up as military Brat, your home towns are military bases. You show up one day, unpack, make new friends, and get shipped out again. But your life revolves around a military base. Commissary, movie theater, BX/PX, and your trusty ID card.
USARECs tactical organizations recruiting centers are responsible for prospecting and recruiting professional individuals that will volunteer for a job serving as a Soldier. Their main effort involves identifying and creating the Soldier of 2025 that will fight to win any complex operating environment. Daily NCOs engage local communities to find individuals to enlist despite the changing United States (US) society where 7 out of 10 prospects do not qualify to enlist into the Army. NCOs at this tactical level have a tremendous challenge in their day-to-day operations. They have to accomplish daily operations by overcoming many factors and challenges. These challenges include economic conditions, persistent and unstable Middle East, China,
It is mandatory of the users of this channel to ensure that the chain of command is kept informed of actions implemented through the NCO support channel and to eliminate the possibility of the NCO support channel operating outside of command policy. The NCO support channel is used for executing the commander’s orders and getting routine, but important, jobs done. It is used however most often to effect policies and procedures and to enforce standards of performance, training, appearance and conduct. Although the first sergeant is not part of the formal chain of command, leaders should consult them on individual soldier matters. There are many areas in which the NCO Support Channel assists the chain of command. The NCO support channel ensures junior enlisted maintain a professional appearance. They plan and conduct day to day operations, train soldiers in there respective MOS and help them build a better knowledge of soldiering.
Significant communication challenges were encountered because radio systems used by federal and state agencies are incompatible with radio systems used by local fire departments, law enforcement agencies and other responding resources (Fire Siege, 2003). This lack of compatibility and common frequencies profoundly impacted the ability to coordinate resources and exchange information. The terrain and lack of infrastructure adversely affected the CNF communication system, further hampering communication efforts. Numerous responding resources lacked the ability to field program radios to establish communications with the task force or strike team resources.
The past year and 10 months has been one of great challenge to the employees at Fort Dix Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS), and to our service liaison groups. Prior to June 2016, Fort Dix MEPS had experienced a series of SAV and IG inspection failures, facility understaffing, eroding service liaison relationships, etc. Overall, this has been a hardship for everyone involved.
Mobile phones in a rudimentary form date back to the 1970s. Since 3G cellular networks made its debut on the scene in 2001, its usage has skyrocketed, particularly in the past few years (Hoyt, 2014). The Apple Newton personal digital assistant (PDA) became available in the market for a hefty cost of $700. Then, the Palm Pilot 1000 was released in 1996. Despite the improved design and memory, it didn’t gain much popularity until 1999 until Epocrates came out (Hoyt, 2014, p. 267). Clinicians welcomed Palm Pilots as the retrieval of drug information and medical pearls of wisdom became easier, when compared to carrying reference guides in their pocket. Following the early model of PDAs, newer PDAs with upgrades such as internet access, WiFi, and
Vision Statement: Exposing the knowledge and experiences of our young airman, NCOs, officers, civilians and contractors to spark innovation through increased collaboration.
Primarily we use USB and LAN connections to assist the Marines in their gathering of data. In various austere environments we rely heavily on the use of a secure wireless router (extensive security setup) and mobile tablets to allow for collection of data while on the move (not connected). Typically the Instructors will utilize the tablets for a 24 hour period outside of coverage returning to their headquarters (HQ) after that time period.
During emergencies, the importance of our country’s communications systems becomes clear. These communications systems include the wire line and wireless telephone networks, broadcast and cable television, radio, Public Safety Land Mobile Radio, satellite systems and increasingly the Internet. For example, in an emergency, we may dial 911, call our family members to make sure they are safe, and turn on our televisions and radios to get breaking news and important updates (FCC, 2012).
